What we have here is a new commission that was done for me by Berelince, a rather tasteful pinup of Mavis Dracula from “Hotel Transylvania”. Initially when I made the lineart commission to her I was thinking that I would only get Mavis by herself and I would have to fill in the background myself. And low and behold, Berelince went above and beyond the call of duty with this piece. She put in a reclining couch for Mavis as well as some curtains and candle holders behind her. Looking it over, I knew instantly from a coloring standpoint that I had my work cut out for me. But I was in no rush so I took my time and went over it little by little by little.
Coloring Mavis was the easy part, the harder parts came in the couch and the candle holders. And that took quite a lot of time to do. Because instead of doing it like I usually do with only the polygon lasso tool I held the base area of color and just shaded in each part with the brush tool.
Then came the candle holder, clicking in the area for the holder itself took quite a long time to do and a little longer when it came to the shading but it was worth it.
Finally, I added in a little shading and light layers to give it that “candle lit look”.
Even Berelince herself was impressed by the work I had done with the coloring.
And I hope all of you do as well.
Note: All character(s) depicted here are 18 years of age or older. Seriously, Mavis is 118 in the first film and 123 in the second. SO THERE!
