July Poll Winner!: Kalypso (DK) (Patreon)

The BADDEST Kremling around! Move over Candy! You cant even compete with her!

I always loved Kalypso's design. Never played the game she's from but when i saw her trophy in BRAWL, i was in love!

The pic tho, was all over the place. Starting with the head; my god it was difficult. One of, if not, the hardest head shapes i've drawn. I couldn't wrap my head around it. I wanted to be an angled position but i couldn't see through the jaw. So i went with a 3/4 view. Next, I originally wanted her to be lifting her top so her boobs would be visible, which is why her hands are positioned that way. But when I got to that part i was pretty exhausted by then and didn't want to make the edit. Lastly was the coloring. I had no idea what i was doing after the grayscale rendering. It looked good there but when i added the colors, nothing was looking right. Ultimately i went with the soft rendered look. Y'know the kind where you just had a hint of shadows and highlights and somehow it looks volumetric with no hard shadows? Yea, i just lowered the opacity. (I'm always a stickler for details. so leaving things only hinted at was iffy to me) BUT IT LOOKS GOOD! So i need to experiment with the Less is More concept.

That was a lot. Hope you all like this drawing! And tune in for the next poll!
