Inktober Day #10 - Hope

Day 10 - Hope

"As the light gains purchase, spirits are lifted and purpose is made clear."
This one was thematically based on Darkest Dungeon, since the first thing I thought of was the line from the game 'as the enemy crumbles, a faint hope blossoms'. Then I thought about the fire on the torches, and wanted to have someone holding a flame to light their way. I ended up modeling hands cupping fire, similar to the Shrine Keeper from Dark Souls 3 when leveling up (I think it's her, I haven't played in a while). I'm not at all good at hands, but I think it looks great when I essentially glanced at a reference a few times and just made it.
