Phase 1
I've developed the Muse's figure well enough but I am at a loss with that of the Count. I've added a touch of shojo-manga-esque roses on the bottom to make the scene dark but romantic. There'll be some candles, cobwebs in the background & maybe even chandeliers, too (if there's any space left)! |
Phase 2
I decided to stick to the original costume design for The Count as found here! I changed up the faces - eyes/brows especially to make them look more vampire-like.
I'll leave the drawing this way for now as I'm off to research on baroque candlestick designs for the background. |
Phase 3
I'm presenting the Final sketch before inking! I Simplified The Muse's outfit because it draws too much attention. Added the background of candles & cobwebs. There's no more room for the chandeliers, so I opted for cobwebs instead. |
Phase 4
I've outlined the drawing in ink! It's now ready to be filled in with texture & detail! |
Phase 5
I'm done rendering The Count. The lizard-skin robe was time-consuming! I made his eyes more dramatic by adding shadow around the corners. Then, aged his face by adding subtle lines around the mouth. I believe the abs need more shadow.
I cut my drawing thumb last night & could not do any more work. |
Phase 6
I'm done rendering The Muse. I opted for a fur collar instead of leather to even out the weight of her hair , so it won't appear too "big". Both figures are dark toned, as the background will be black. |
