Description This is my WiP for the Inverloch Fanart contest. It's an online webcomic I really like, with great art & an intriguing story. Check it out here--> [link]

EDIT: an update to show off the coloring. I'm going for a very soft, almost muted-tones look, like you see in a lot of old Mucha stuff (again with the art nouveau, I know)

EDIT II: the coloring continues! I also realized that, for those of you unfamiliar with the characters, you might want som names. So here it goes:
Acheron, bottom center; Lei'ella, bottom left; Kayn'dar, bottom right; Varden, top left; Neirenn, top right; Shiara, top center.

EDIT III: It's done!

All hand colored axcept for the background, which is something I made last year for my 'Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet' poster. I felt the background needed just a little extra something to frame the characters. But for the most part, this is traditional artwork with a little PS touchwork. (although now that I look at it, it could probably use a little more PS touchwork... it's a lil messy in some areas... )

And update: Well, apparently I've made the shortlist!!! The sponsor of the contest received around 250 entries, but has narrowed it down to 24. And I'm one of the 24!

Oh, thank you! I, however, can see at least 3 spots where a touchup would prolly do some good... :sweatdrop:

I know! I wonder if she realized the wave of stuff that would result when she started this?

But thanks for the compliment and don't be jealous! Your Varden's adorable!

I just got inspired. It happens sometimes... plus I haven't done much traditional drawing lately, or any drawing really, so I thought this would be a good restart, or whatever. Ack, I dunno what I'm talking about! Anyway, read the comic if you get the chance!

PurgatoriX In reply to T-Weaver [2006-07-25 20:18:22 +0000 UTC]

Nope, in colored pencil, although watercolor would look really nice now that I think about it... but my paints are all scattered to the four winds (aka lost somewhere in the mess that is my apartment). But thanks!
