I actually had not intention of having this become the portrait it did! Was just practicing... and this happened. I sketched a portrait of my character, Selini, looking rather unamused. Heh, the sketch even says "Selini is not amused" under it. I liked the sketch fairly well and decided to follow through with coloring it since I haven't ever uploaded any colored versions of her.
I know, the background is crap and doesn't match any of the lighting on her at all. Meh. I'll have to fix it. Suggestions? I need it to... not distract from her.
Issues I'm Aware Of:
+ Contrast could be stronger/darker in some places (under her chin especially)
+ Too much space along top of image?
+ Too soft around ears/edges.
About the Character:
Selini was created for Aetherius MUCK a few years ago - a roleplay based on concepts and ideas by . Selini was a doctor - a healer. She worked with herbs and poultices, set bones... and the word "cantankerous" was probably the best word to describe her. She was inspired by the character Gregory House (yes, that Dr. House), but mainly in temperament.
About the colors: Selini is a freak. A mutation. She is a Maltese ("blue") cheetah, meaning she has a blue-gray color to her coat instead of the usual tawny. On top of that, another mutation causes her to be spotless, with only a few spots on her face and speckles along her back and shoulder (which barely could be called spots!).
She also had elemental powers based around water: she could sooth wounds... but in secret she practiced making dangerous ice weapons which could impale, kill, and leave few traces they ever existed...
The Sketch:

Sketched on paper. About 6 hours in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
