Shanoa

Something new from me... I really wanted a clever title, but I can't think of anything ;_;

This one started as a random pose sketch and I thought it looked nice enough... Then I wanted the character to have long hair, and that's when I decided to draw Shanoa (from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia) and started using her as a reference. My painting doesn't look like her that much, like now her boobs are bigger (because the original sketch had, and I wanted to keep them :3) and I made up some of the details. And the glyph, I don't know what the heck that is A sword of some kind. And it's disappearing, since she's walking away from Dracula's castle, now in ruins.

And the MOON! My first attempt looked like a frigging plasma ball! I hope this one's better
I also read this tutorial on how to paint a moon: [link]

Annnd uhhh... The background! It's not very detailed, I know. I don't really care, it looks nice enough for me

Maybe I'll upload some of the progress shots I took some day.
