Rajirra Hungers!

bluedraggy:

My favorite of this set by far. How can I help it with that expression? Anyway, another Satasha comission by DrawPanther. Then colored by me.

ORIGINAL:

And then after adding flat colors…

A bit of major shading and a background thrown in…

Highlighting doesn’t do quite a much here since the eye-lights were really already in the original (though I added some more anyway!)

That’s it. BTW, at some point I obviously accidentally pulled the shade layer down a few pixels – note the outline at the top of her head. However, I liked the result so I left it.

But one more change. Both Sashimi and the artist had teeth in mind behind Rajirra’s fangs instead of a tongue. I dunno, I kinda like the tongue but…

Oh! I posted this on the wrong blog too! Well, no problem there. A quick Reblog from the other site and PRESTO! Good as new.

Sorry – posted this on the wrong blog the other day. But this does give me a chance to correct the teeth/tongue thing. (I dunno, I still like the blood red tongue myself, but if the artist had teefers in mind, and the commissioner had teefers in mind, then teefers it shall be!)

Rajirra for Sashimi #3

Another color job. Drawn by DrawPanther, colored by your friendly neighborhood Draggy.

So, we’ll dive right in. Here’s the original from DrawPanther:

Pretty damned good. Sometimes I’m REALLY not convinced me coloring these things is an improvement. But we’ve always got the original I guess regardless so it’s not like I’m RUINING them.

So, first come flats, then shade, then highlights in my method. Flats:

I’d watch that cartoon! Shading time though, and also I threw in an admittedly bad background.

And finally, with highlighting. And I think this is the first one I’ve ever “signed”.

DrawPanther suggested it, so… Color by Bluedraggy.

Now, I did like this one but I gotta be honest, it’s the NEXT one I really really love! You’ll see why when I get it done in a few more days.
