This lovely line art was drawn by *Drowning-Comic and I colored it to enter the June contest held by the #color-me-club .

*Drowning-Comic 's line art is here: [link]

Three days on the hair alone. Essential songs that were spun during the coloring process: Stars (Hear n' Aid), Fairies Wear Boots (Black Sabbath), Starman (David Bowie), Stargazer (Rainbow).

I was inspired by images of nebulas for the background. I used textured brushes and screentones (stamp tool) and built them and layered them to create the glowly, fluffy effect. All the tiny stars on the dress, hair and background were created with the same method as the one used on this old deviation: [link]

Thanks for viewing!

Do you mean as commissions? Unfortunately I'm not doing commissions at the moment. I'll probably open a few slots mid-December.

Thank you! I was so scared that the color scheme made everything almost monotone-like and drown into each other.
