Wow. she looks so evil but she's so bright. And the details, and the shineyness of the belt, and that rather crazed looking smile....^^ Weeee!

I was actually going to put more detail on her face, but as I worked it darker and darker, I liked it more and more. So I took a chance, colored it in mostly black, and never looked back. Thanks for sharing what you see in it.

Yeah, sometimes the best way to draw something, is to NOT draw it...

I love the contrast in this piece, and the fact that you hid her face. It really draws your attention to the magic. I think the skulls around her might be my favorite part. I also love how the cloth of her outfit collects at the ground. The flow of the spell looks great too by the way. Very smooth, very organized. Another great piece.

I like it just the way it is. I think more shading could have taken away from the beauty of the outer form. It has that woodcut feel to it if you know what I mean. Sometimes lots of detail isn't a good thing.

Well, thanks! I hope they don't disappoint you--they're full of darkness, scantily-clad women, and mischief...

Ooh! I like this. I love the circle of demonic skulls about her. I can see she's a resourceful miss.

Thank you. You picked out one of her most prominent qualities: resourcefulness. In the next one I'll put up, she's in prison, drawing upon what resources are available there to mold her surroundings.

You're welcome. I'm sure she can adapt a prison to her liking

Thanks! Black and white art can be so simple and powerful, I love it. I'll post more of this in a week or so--the mature ones will show up.

Yup, black and white works for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, doing black and white stuff can be so simple, until you realize you need a division between two objects that HAVE to be the same value, so you start wishing for complimentary colors and so forth... --Faile35

I know what you mean:/ It's al about contrasts.

Yep. You got it. Oh well, good art is often challenging, I guess.

Rowena is a bad bi+@#!!
Anytime she has demon skulls lining her summoning circle, she is a tough one!

I like Mortana. It's got a sort of feral feel to it. Edgy.

"Rowena"? I was actually thinking of calling her Mortana or Morgana. Hmmmm.
