Sorstan: Color Reference 2.0

Description

Might be the last bit of personal work you'll see in a little while... unless, that is, you'd like to see doodles. And I don't think I could bear to post just any doodle, as I don't want to waste your time, but if I come up with a decent collection I can upload those together. I don't know, I'm a bother right now, and I have a lot more important work to be doing! :noes:

Yet another of those "waiting for the paint to dry" studies worked on between all the other little things. However, I found it justified, as poor Sorstan the assassin has had extremely few depictions of him posted here, and even less in color. Poor bugger. :(

That said, I'm also a bit peeved by the way the color bounced off the highlight areas and bled out a bit, haha! Likely need to readjust my scanner, as I'm only so apt at photoshop. *groan* (You think it's just a lame excuse, but I promise you it looks more consistent in person. Unless I'm actually going blind?)

No. For the love of all things holy, he is not meant to resemble a maned wolf, fox, or anything of a russet coated persuasion, I assure you. His plain coat needed some points, so I added them. Note that the creamy markings are not white, but just that, dull cream. I'm not fully certain how I feel about those dark stockings of his, though they serve the purpose of being less visible than light colored feet. His younger brother, Tjardek, is similar, yet is more of a deep dark auburn/mahogany and has less dramatic "points" to his coat.

It's likely I missed something. Anyway, this was an assortment of Derwent colored pencils (Artists, Studio, and Coloursoft) on my preferred surface of choice, Canson Mi-Teintes. (It's a pastel paper.)

Thoughts, comments, critiques, what have you are welcome. :)
