Lurleen ~ Clawed innocence
A loving and spontaneous young woman with the big dream of restoring her and her people’s long lost home – Lyphuriaa. Softspoken, emotional and highly sensitive to what goes on between the lines, she lacks a great deal of real-world experience, partly thanks to her amnesia; when Vladimir found her, she was thirteen and didn’t even remember her name. Now a distinguished lady under Lord Hye’s care, and with Vlad back at her side, Lurleen is ready to fight for her place in this world.
Very proud of this one. I don’t know how, because I never draw, but my lines got so much better, and linework in general. I think I was working against myself before when I tried doing lineart on top of an already good-looking sketch; maybe that’s why I always dreaded the lineart phase. It just sucked out all the personality of the sketch. Now I use the sketch as lineart, and I feel way more joy drawing this way.
Also, I’m in love with the basic round brush with opacity. Literally the only brush I use to draw (but not render). It has such a nice soft look to it! And is very pleasant to use.
This piece took way longer than I expected though, and to think I was planning on finishing ones like this every 2-3 days… Well, maybe I’ll get faster over time.
Anyway, excited for the next one (spoiler: it’s gonna be Vlad [edit: well guess not]) c:<
