Sketches that came with the Magi DVD vol.7 that depict the main three going on a journey. Here’s Ohtaka’s comment:
“These are sketches that I did before the serialization. I drew them while looking at pictures of the Mogao Caves in China. At first, Magi was going to be a manga that revolves more around conquering dungeons, and so I did a lot of sketches like these.”
“Mermaid Crowns” by Chelseas Flowercrowns
Chelsea started as a florist in Melbourne, Australia when she was a teenager and has always been passionate about nature and floristry. She then began to create flowercrowns to cover her scar on her forehead, which was a result of an incident when she was just a baby. At the time flowercrowns were just beginning to be sold in shops, however majority of other crowns lacked detail and individuality. Chelsea saw this as an opportunity to not only create crowns for herself, but for others around her who wanted something different yet beautiful.
Over time, she expanded her range to Mermaid Crowns which have taken the world by storm. Her Mermaid Crowns allow girls alike to be the mermaid they always dreamed of since being a little girl.
Follow her journey via social media, and if you would like to access your inner Ariel, purchase a crown from her shop or etsy.
Basically I just shade with a very dark color, and apply a small gradient of some bright saturated color along the borders to emulate diffused light.
Varying light angles and intensity for mood! I love back light HAHAHa–
Can work it in other hues, too! And I guess here’s a quick walk through of smth similar to that pic you were talkin about, with windows of strong light.
Draw the projected light over the subject
Add shadows on the character. Moved the light going past the character hitting the floor.
Overlay the bleeding light!
I use a lot of this kinda thing in finished pics too– here’s a recent example!
