A little farther along...

Put in a couple of hours on that picture from yesterday.






Next up: the eyes.

*g* That's as coherent as I can manage, because oooooh, pretty. The blending is *really* good.

:D Low-opacity brush, at 15-20%, and putting down a few strokes of color, picke dup from the skin bars on the left, then picking up the color enarby and laying a few strokes of that into the previous, then picking up the color formed from the meeting of the two and laying a few strokes of *that* over the colors. Shampoo, rinse, repeat until you can't stand it and have to go work on another section.

Oh - I went into a wee bit of detail on how I am doing it on TpopSpace (http://www.tokyopop.com/telophase/art/27107.html).

The skin colros aren't popping, or looking luminescent like I'd really like to happen, but frankly, I would like to actually finish a realistic-style painting more than I would like to fuss with luminescence, so I am ignoring that. :D

I finally ahd to break down and admit that I'm not as familiar with facial structure as I ought to be, and pull out reference on where all teh small planes of the face are located. XD

. . . wow. O_O When that's done, I have a friend who's going to absolutely die of bliss over it. *impressed, as always*

The snarl is back! I can't wait to see the eyes.

Oh, good job on getting Mello's facial expression to its usual malice. *tingles* This is really looking fantastic.

I have to concentrate on the eyes and make sure thay they, also, radiate pure malice. XD Thanks!

The mouth looks really good, I love the snarl. :D

:D I've looked at it so long that I can't tell if it's snarly enough or not. Things lose all inherent emotion to me after I've been staring at them and trying to work on them for so long.

Thanks! :D

I should make an icon that merely says MELLO HATES YOU.

Et voila!
