Fanart: Wraith!Teyla

[sholio]

One of my infrequent pieces of fanart! This is Wraith-Queen Teyla (from The Queen). Pen and ink with digital coloring.

Nice. I really like how you've colored this and created the various textures with your pen lines.

[sholio]

Thank you! :) I haven't done much art lately, especially not computer art, and it was really fun to break out the Wacom tablet and go to work. :D

Oh, I love the textures of this. It feels so rich and deep—I love the fall of her hair and the sheen on her coat.

[sholio]

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed playing with coloring effects in this one.

[astridv]

Very cool. How did you get the star effect in the background?

[sholio]

Thank you! :D

It's red watercolor, splattered on paper and then inverted in Photoshop. It was actually one of several spatter textures I'd done when I was making siria's Big Bang art last year. (Originally, it was meant to suggest blood.) I still had a folder of different stuff I'd scanned for that project, so I was dropping them in to play around with different backgrounds for the portrait, and discovered that putting her on a mostly-black background really made the art pop.

That's lovely. You've really captured her likeness, and made her somehow more authentic that the actual makeup they used. Cool.

[sholio]

Thank you so much! That's a wonderful compliment. :)

Ooh, I like this a lot. I'm really creeped out now. *g*

[sholio]

Thank you! :D

Eee! Wraith Teyla against a star-spattered sky! And I love the bodice. :D

Thank you very much! It was marvelous fun to draw. :)

Ohhh, now that's creepy! In an impressive, I-don't-even-want-to-imagine-what-she-could-achieve kind of way.

Thanks! Yeah, Wraith!Teyla might be the shortest Wraith queen ever, but she will mess you up.

Very cool! I like the coloring of her costume especially, looks like leather...

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I got to play with some new coloring effects in this one. :)

I love this Wraith Teyla picture. Great mood/atmosphere to the whole look.

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :)

This is awesome! You captured the Wraith features while keeping Teyla's beauty. Love the coloring of her flesh tones, and the hair is awesome, not so lost in a tangle. But it's the shiny leather that just pops!

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I'm delighted that you like it. :D I had a lot of fun doing the shiny hair and leather effects.
