Even More 1920s Assassin

Getting bored of her yet?



Adding colour was really useful for progress. I thought I was set on what I wanted but when I coloured it, it didn't look fitting. I think a yellow dress is too loud for her. I tried a blue, but that didn't seem elegant enough. I think a neutral cream looks posh without being overbearing, with bits of turqoise and yellow to add a bit of energy.
The dark patches on the dress are sequins. I'll draw them myself in the proper final picture, but for this I think that texture does the job.
And yeah, that mauser is like a cannon. Oops.

EDIT: I should also credit this site, which has been something of a colour bible for this character. Very very useful for colour schemes, makeup styles and hairstyles.

  1. Awesome! Your art style is absolutely ideal for your chosen setting and concept, and the color palette is perfect. Even if you lose the pencil lines, I reccomend keeping the "messy" black outline for the "final" art, it's stylish and eye-catching, looks like conceptual fashion design, which has the class of the 1920s.
