Paperchain: Raca

Description

PaperChainProject submission, for Full Round 32. The character, Raca, belongs to CCDragon-93.

I immediately liked Raca's design, and I thought I'd be a good excuse to practice smooth gradients with watercolors! And draw a skull! I'm not sure I did too well with the gradient though, and the skull (which is based on an ibex skull) is hardly anatomically correct. And I wanted to make clouds in the sky, but ended up just making a huge mess, haha. Despite all that, I'm still happy with this! Raca likes to wander through beautiful landscapes, and I didn't know quite what setting to choose for a while, but I really like deserts and I thought the orange hue would go really well with her coloring. So that's the reason for the desert~

The skull might not be correct but it sure looks like a real skull to me!
I don't know if it's the way you draw her, or just my associations with skulls in general, but this painting gives me an eerie feeling. I immediately imagine how I would be walking on my last legs through the desert, and then stop when I suddenly see this creature, and it's silent for a terribly long moment... and I have no idea what happens next, but it won't be very bad considering Raca's personality haha.
But this painting really pulls me in, is what I'm trying to say.

Oh and smooth gradients with watercolours is a real challenge, you did a great job! I love the warm glow from her bust. And indeed the colour of the sand is a very nice background for the colours of her body.
