Ohhhhh~! This was fun!!

This is my competition entry for :iconlucidkitsune:'s competition!! :la:

Want to join? lucidkitsune.deviantart.com/jo…

For this I'm not allowed to give any information about the story behind this, but I will talk about my process/thoughts throughout making the picture.

This is LucidKitsune's character Shai, who I mainly chose for not being sweet as well as being super glowy and purple :heart:

Riiight, so originally this picture was going to be nothing like this, but this weird doodle kind of continued, and kept going, then I linearted it and this happened :XD:

I wasn't sure how to approach the colouring, I knew I wanted the picture to be set at night time, but I didn't know how to make it 'feel' like it was in the dark. Eventually I went for putting blue over everything but having very little opacity, so it's visible, but not noticeable.

I had fun working with the glowyness. I have a major thing for light up/glowy things so this was right in the area I like working :XD:
I feel I went a bit OTT on the eyes though, even though I wanted the attention to be drawn to there straight away.

The people laying on the ground were difficult. I've never drawn anyone in a position like that before I don't think, so that was kind of difficult. I ended up tilting the canvas and drawing it like they were standing up with strong wind on one side.

Constructive criticism welcome!!

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to comment >.<;;

This. Is. AWESOME. 
Wow you did such a wonderful job!! *O*  I can really see the story going on here! I definitely love her eyes and the glow, it's not excessive at all in my opinion! It creates a great focal point for the whole image. It's so eerie and creepy, it gives me chills! I'm so glad you enjoyed Shai, she is certainly a good guilty pleasure when you wanna draw something evil and glowy :dummy:

Thanks so much for entering the contest!! :D  :tighthug:
