Description
Since a modern look for Lenore from Castlevania was the runner up in my last poll, I figured she should be my next project. So, here she is. I was conflicted about whether I should show her fangs, but realized she never really bares them on the show unless in anger or while talking. So, you get just a hint of a smile instead.

And, if I'm being honest, something of a Pink Lady feel from "Grease."

I tried to maintain her color scheme from the show, as well as maintaining a hint of her style there, such as with the turtleneck. And her shoulder tattoo is a reuse of her belt buckle, though obviously a different color.

Anyway, let me know what you think, and whether I managed to capture her essence -- any Comments, tips, or critiques are welcome and appreciated.

Disclaimer: I’m red-green colorblind. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to tell similar shades/hues of different colors apart, and, therefore, I need to work with very limited palettes when I color pieces. For shading and highlights, I’ll start with a gray base and lighten or darken shades from there, and then add a color overlay (and, for some skin tones, attempt to add a blue overlay to make it less “hot”). I’ve often been told to be bolder in my highlighting and shading, and I’m trying to be so, but… sometimes it still seems pretty tame. I’m just saying this in case you mentioned I need to do that on a previous piece – I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the input. It’s just not very easy for me to implement confidently.
