H E A V E N L Y R E D

Basically it's a "Heavenly Sword" fan art; exept that as I didn't have much ref. ; and that I don't own the game (just played the demo) I took many liberties on the character and her sword , just knew it's a red stuff : red head and red blade (now you understand the title)
Much "inspirated by" than "fanart" in fact.
H.S players will also notice her face feature is totally different. (to true hardcore fans:yeah shame on me, I know)

But it's good like that, Once again it allow me to go to a -bit - different direction

Mostly done with colored inks and watercolors using brushes at 90% . Airbursh used for the last 10% (smoothing the tones and values, add some light effects.)

Probably could have done the whole pic with airbrush; but when you work on a GOOD watercolor paper, you could have a very smooth result just by knowing how th use the water the good way.
Beside-for my part- airbrushing the whole pic is boring; I like to use a good variety of tool, it's the fun part of the job.

TOOLS:
-Drawed and painted on 52x40 cm watercolor paper. on the original the borders are burned; but I was too lazy to scan the full pic (actually done in 5 time here)
-watercolors; colored inks
-airbrush
-markers; colored pencils; white paint.


Enjoy- or suffer my 10 0000 curses on you niargh >D
