Marthin Mephtes behind the scenes

Originally posted on Deviant Art
A commission for Melandrhild of her husband Gaeva82's character Marthin Mephtes.

Here is a thumbnail sketch that I normally do first. I send some of artworks like this to clients for approval before drawing right ahead on a large paper. 

After the rough thumbnail sketch is approved I proceed on to the tight lines. You can see that the character and the effects are transparent. I just draw the effects, character and background on separate papers having them on different layers makes it much easier to color.

Here's the flat colors.

 And here is the final piece.


Every characters of la Quête de l'Aube ( Tyra Oeil-de-loup, Marthin Mephtes and Imren Main-Froide) belong to Marie Laure Cabot and Frederik Filliaert.

Thank you for viewing :D
