[skin idea] Child of doom Zoe

So I was practicing with my new Wacom and got this idea through a repainting of the little brat. For your consideration: "Child of doom Zoe"

Inspirations:

• Infernal Skins
• the contrast between darkness and the bright of flame
• and of course Zoe's rep.

Steps of design:

• following the original art's lines to create a clean lineart version.
• testing and playing around with color schemes to see what sticks.
• decided to have her hair change from cosmic to flame
• "how cool will it be if the light source in the image will be only her hair?"
• coloring in diffuse.
• ignoring the showing belly and deciding to go with a full blue and silver robe that reminds me of cult like robes.
• how have the eyes different without making them TO different? I ended up with this looks where the eyes have reversed fire gradients (yellow-orange).
• applying shadows.

Though simple, I'm very proud of this piece. It is one of my first exercises using digital tools and by the end of my work it reminds me of a few styles that I like a lot. Not sure I understood completely what is going on at the feet area, but... what the hell :)
