Description

It's official. I finally painted a non regular human skin tone and was surprisingly, a lot easier than expected. This blue girl is my favorite blue girl in comics because she's just crazy, intense and weirdly likeable for a villain. Long story short (if you aren't familiar with her), she's from an alien race that little is known about who joins the Sinetro Corps. For reasons unknown, this tome, which holds the stories of the greatest Sinestro Corpsmen and tells stories of famous Fear ring bearers, was chained to her with yellow energy from Sinestro himself. This was for the need to have a historian for his Corps and a way for Sinestro to revisit his Corps' success. Lyssa Drak is quite loyal to Sinestro and highly devoted to updating the book and keeping it safe. As well, she guides recruits through a series of highly dangerous trials before they can become Sinestro Corps members. They either succeed, or die of starvation, thirst or kill themselves. So she's a pretty dangerous character. In reality, Lyssa probably knows more about fear from her books than any other Fear corps member. Lines were by the awesome Leandesenhista and I thoroughly loved painting them. Anyways, feedback and comments are always welcome! :heart:

Very good job with painting a non-regular human skin tone! And good line work by Leandesenhista! One of the things that I've always loved about aliens in the DC Universe( and the Star Wars Universe, too) as I remember one comic book artist saying once, is that they LOOK like aliens. Not to throw shade at Star Trek and I'm a huge Star Trek fan, too but as the same comic book artist said, the aliens in Star Trek always looked more like humans in prosthetics and makeup than aliens(which most of the time, they of course, WERE but they should still FEEL like aliens, anyway). That's how I want aliens and non-human races to feel and look in my comics, too like they're humanoid but still unhuman.

So is painting alien or fantasy humanoid beings and creatures not something that you've done a lot of?
