Desire looks great, cold and sensual and androgynous, you did a great job!

I'm sad I didn't see this at Comic Con D:

all three of them went with me to Comic Con, and came home with me from comic con. So if you see me at another show, I may still have them for you to look at!

thanks Blinky! I'm trying to get back up to snuff. Haven't drawn in so long, and I thought upcoming Comic Con was a good excuse to make myself do 2 or 3 cards a day!

You got Desire just right. There's enough hint of androgyny to be accurate, with enough beauty not to scare folks away.

Nice!

I always like to think of the work of Patrick Nagel when doing Desire. Cold, but sensual.

I wonder if there's been any discussion of Nagel from Gaiman himself, 'cos I think you're spot on with the comparison.

I love the Death What shades do you use for colouring skintones?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AllisonSohn In reply to mechangel2002 [2010-07-10 15:25:24 +0000 UTC]

whatever shades are appropriate. These are the Endless; many of them are depicted with white skin (like Death, Dream and Desire) while others are more like human caucasian flesh tone (like Delirium, or her brother Destruction). So for Death and Desire, I used varying shades of lavenders and blue grays, to make the skin seem cool. For Delirium, I used a very pale creamy yellow base, shaded it with an olive, and lastly gave her some violet tints. She may be more human-flesh toned than her sisters, but i wanted to still keep her skin quality cool, so she looked like part of the "family".
