Description

:bulletred: Download for full view!

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.

:bulletred: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 :iconakeli:. 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:
