Teshia, do you have a say in what your Caraick's fashion choices? <_<
It's just an idea, it might contain nonsense until proper sources are given.

Now, now.. I save the frilly pink lace for Roled.  Caraick looks much better in his Alice in Wonderland costume.

* Mariana Xiechai wonders if she could figure out how to make a flash game where you can dress Caraick up in pretty clothes...

This is unfinished yet, I have to shade it...a lot. It's basically a picture of Mariana in the sewers, looking for something, on the walls. I was wondering if I could get tips on how to shade it, actually, as I imagine the background would be quite dark, without drowning out the character herself.

Thanks in advance!

I think Mari looks great! for shading, I'd use some references, pictures that you find that exhibit the same kind of lighting as you are looking for. A master example of someone working with single sources of light is Caravaggio.


keep in mind where your light source is, in this case the strongest source will be the flame in her palm. think about how that light lands on and reflects off of every surface. With Mari's armor, you can have a lot of fun with reflections. maybe some torches on the background walls and whatever ambient light there is. take some snapshots in the sewer for references on perspective and textures.
all blessings to the assembled devotees.

Main flaw i see is her right arm, its stubby and kinda fat at the end compared to the other arm.

Been hankering to try to draw Aramara for a while. The camera angle distorted it a bit so I might try to retake it later.

It occurred to me that with a description as colorful and vibrant as Ara's, it didn't fit to be rendered in black and white.
