Let's take a bloody drink! Lira the dark
Good evening friends, today for my entry to the @Splinterlands contest I decided to draw one of the cards I like the most, Lira the dark is perfect especially for this month of October as it seems a character that goes quite with the Halloween theme, this time I wanted to draw her holding a cup full of blood, the same blood drips from her mouth and I also wanted to change the costume a little, this time I made a dress, which is basically a different version but still maintains her essence, I wanted to add lace in the chest part with a transparent fabric underneath, wide and extravagant sleeves and a dress with buttons and pleats on the sides, this time I didn't want to add a cape or accessories because I didn't want to overload the drawing, I tried and I didn't like to put too many things, the red ray that we usually see in Lira The dark's card I wanted to represent it in the form of small rays in the background on the right side, I am very happy with the final result although it was quite difficult to finish it in only one day, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and started to paint the skin, this time I wanted to use blue and lilac tones, also add a red light on the right side, in a new layer I added more colors to shape the whole skin part, then I started to mix all these colors leaving a soft texture, for the hair I used a dark purple color, this time I wanted to paint the eyes red as I feel it looks more striking, using light purple I started to shape the hair and also added a red light reflection, I painted the chest with a gray color and lowered the opacity to give that effect of transparent fabric and also painted the dress.
I added lace to the chest using brushes with that texture, then I painted the sleeves of the dress and the cup, I started to give volume to all the clothes with lights and shadows, I changed the background to a dark purple and then I added red lights on the right side, I drew little red lines that simulate lightning, I painted blood falling from the mouth and then I started to add lights to the face using a layer in “screen” mode, I finished my drawing editing the image to my liking and adding more color to some parts.
