This is the art I did for the new ToC page.
I’m very happy with it, especially how the colours gave the image life, which I’d lost in the inking stage. I tried a new style based on incooperating the inks into the colours instead of having the lines hover over the colours. I adore the results and might try that in the comic itself – if I find a way to get this effect a teensy bit quicker than with this style of full colours.

I'm a German artist in my early thirties, who spends way too much time infront of a computer screen. An affinity for digital art, a dayjob as software developer and WoW will do that to you. Still, even I get to see the daystar sometimes. It’s incredibly bright and in dire need of a dimmer.

With it now colored, ‘Des looks like she has a look of slight amusement with whatever she is looking at.
I think it’s her eyebrows and how her mouth kinda tilts upward on the (our) right side of her face.
:3
That was what I was going for. Grumpy Des ain’t good as welcome on a homepage, slightly-bemused-at-your-stupidity Des much, much better and still in character!
1)
When the ink version was up, I always wanted to ask about your remark “the neckline’s wrong”. Seemed fine to me, but then again, I do have troubles with necks myself (sternomastoid, trapezius muscle in front view). Mind explaining that to me please?
2)
In the sketch/ink version, I already liked the prominent trapezius muscle and collar bone. With that (new) coloring style and highlighting, I really dig it!
3)
I never noticed before Des had different eye colors, white pupils – and a little protruding chin. Just as I’ve mentioned before: It’s fun to be surprised by such details :)
1) I’m still not sure, it just looks off to me in the ink-version. It doesn’t fit to the perspective of the colorbone, but I have no idea why. It might be the attachement point between neck-torso. It does look much better in the colour-version, but it could be because the dark shirt masks it.
2) Thank you! :)
3) The glowy eyes are new. (I blame Blizzard’s art-department) Pretty sure they’re not always glowy though. Half the time I’m surpised by the details myself, but it’s fun to work that way. ;) :)
Thanks for explaining – it makes me think more about such issues & helps to see the bigger picture (anatomy-wise) – which is good thing :)
So when I look at the picture(s) now, it seems to me like Des shrugs a little + pulls her shoulders a bit forward. If you do that yourself in front of a mirror, you’ll see the prominent trapezius/collar bone and the indentation in between. Looking at it that way, I would not say the attachement point between neck/torso is off.
*shrugs*
Still looks off to me in the inks or sketch. That’s why I played around it till it felt right in he colours.
