Here’s a new coloring commission that was made to @callmepo by Desscribe. In the tradition that he’s made, he continued on with making a series of commissions of obscure characters from old comics. This particular one is from a 1970s comic called “Scary Tales” and her name is “Countess R.H. Von Bludd.
Original Drawing: Quick n Dirty commission - Countess Von Bludd
Initially when I started I tried to get a sense of her coloring from what Desscribe had told me of her and what I saw in the comic pages. And given that it was a 1970s comic, the coloring scheme was a bit muddled. So I essentially punted a lot with her hair and eye color. So, I went with the closest pallet I could find, which is of Natasha Romanov (Black Widow) since the Countess here has red hair. But the skin color, initially I borrowed the pallet that I used for Elsa. But I was told to make her more pale. When told that I was concerned that I would make her the same liquid paper color tone as her cat. But thankfully it didn’t come to that.
And since I was commissioned for a simple background, I went with the background I used in a few other pieces: old style stone and mortar. Although, if I could have (and if I had the time since my job is taking up a lot of time) I would have made the background more elaborate with her coffin behind her. Maybe that’ll be something to do for the future.
Note: All character(s) depicted here are 18 years of age or older.
