This is a commission I completed for ShadowedLullaby, as a gift for their friend, Professorfartsparkle- of their character "Esmeralda"

Many aspects of the Esmeralda's personality went into certain decisions regarding this image, beyond what her original design is. The character Esmeralda is a 200 year old Vampire Witch, with slitted pupils, and a preference for wearing kimonos to sensually reveal her shoulders and cleavage. A few of her likes include lilies and the night, so when I was asked to draw her with lilies, I thought it would be quite fitting to show her in a garden at night- dimly lit by a lantern, surrounded by her favorite flowers, playing her chinese lute.

She also has many gemstones listed in her favorites, including (but not limited to) moonstone and quartz... Which I used in some of her jewelry, along with pearls... I just love pearls, and the light colored accessories went well against the sea of black and gold that was her hair. :D Usually I like to draw gold ornaments and accessories, but because of the gold in her hair, I thought it would look best to have the accessories be different!

Her accessories were very much inspired by her being a vampire witch, so I tried infusing more of that type of look into her appearance. My favorite part of her outfit I did was the black lacquered hairpiece with cherry blossoms, speckled with gold... It really seems like something I'd love to have adorned my hair with, if I had lived in such a period....
though I'm sure that people like me in that time weren't wearing such fancy things... but probably cleaning up after them or something..
:iconlazycryplz:

but I live vicariously through my drawings! So it's almost as much fun to draw these things as it is to actually wear them. :D ..maybe ಠ_ಠ


...right.. anyways, this was a very enjoyable commission to do- I don't usually do such involved backgrounds like this, so it was really fun to challenge myself- and I like how it turned out, and I hope you all do as well :) It's desktop wallpaper friendly, so feel free to use it as such!



Anyways, Enjoy!

Drawn and colored using Painttool SAI, finishing touches done using Photoshop CS2, all using Wacom Intuos4 Tablet.
