Description
Please fullview/download and do not favorite/collect without commenting.Jeez. It blows my fuckin mind how much better my pictures turn out if I don't consciously put forth effort.
This is Maddalynn (we just call her Maddy), one of my vampires. She's like.. a spazz/punk/wanna-be-mad-scientist-without-the-science. She's Cassius' like.. pseudo younger sister.
I forgot how to draw girls, so I went out of my way to spit one out, and she was the first to come to mind.
Anyway. If I ever got off my lazy ass and wanted to do a manga, I'd do it about and my's vampire kids, cus it'd be easy to translate it into an actual plot and be interesting. It'd be like.. supernatural/action/romance/humor. xD And When I started drawing, I decided I wanted to do something like.. manga-cover-style. So I thought about it for a while, and figured that if I were to make this manga, I'd want to call it "Black Sheep Brood". We all know what the term 'black sheep' is; odd-balls, freaks, weirdo's. 'Brood' is the term for a 'family' of vampires, that live/hunt/whatnot together. It was catchy and fit, so I went with it.
This picture came out a lot nicer than I thought it would. Different from my original intentions, but really nice. My favorite part is the skin, especially the upper chest/collar bone area. For some reason, I decided that for this picture I'd start with the base color of the shading, and then add the lighting instead of starting with a base and then doing the shading/highlighting. It worked out real well, so maybe I'll do it more often.
Um. that's about it I guess. Dawn/inked on paper, colored in PS. The patterns on the clothes were from stock.
Yes, that plushy sheep has a noose around it's neck.

Did a normal plain shirt and got all the shading/lighting done, then found a stock pattern, adjusted it to better suit (changed the colors, made it sharper, cut out the parts i didn't need, what have you), used dodge and burn to do lighting on the pattern itself, changed colors some more, changed the layer type.. uh. Merged the pattern with the base shirt layer. I think that's about how it went. Something like that.

Thanks. xD
Yeah, I don't get traffic or whatever. Doesn't really bother me at all, though, since that probably means it's less likely that my shit's got any chance of being stolen.
