Hey, a drow! Finally had a chance to draw one, which is good practice for my dark skin + pale hair drawing skillz...

Also I decided to start working on colour immediately for this one instead of taking my usual MO of working in black-and-white first, because as a painting it's very simple, and I wanted to keep the richness of the colours that is somewhat difficult to get when I use a monotone underpainting as the base.

Colour palette and lighting based on this tutorial here:

I modified the colours to better suit the grayish skin of a drow, and reduce the glittery metallic effect that was used in the tutorial (it fit that particular character which is supposed to be an anthropomorphic personification of Xenon but it really would look incredibly camp on a drow elf).
