Red Moon
Here at last is a color portrait of Red Moon from "[i]The Sacrifice for Peace[/i]". :-D
Way back in early 2012 I made a quick concept sketch of Red Moon, though I was never happy with how it turned out. When I first drew her, I was just getting back into do artwork after not doing any for three years prior to then. Well, they say "practice makes perfect", so after hundreds of character portraits and story scenes later, here is Red Moon as I've envisioned her but took this amount of time to get up to drawing her as she should be. I've got her as "perfect" as my skills allow. IMO, this is [i]far[/i] better than the original concept sketch I made eight years ago.

I started this project using a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil with HB (medium hardness) lead, inked the outlines using a 0.1 mm Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen with black India ink, added base color using colored pencils and brush pens (cool and warm gray for the tree bark), scanned it in 48-bit color at 800 dpi, then did the rest in Adobe Photoshop v.6.0.

The hype and paranoia over the coronavirus is making it difficult to get online (don't have Internet where I live) because of places closing up "until further notice". I usually go to the public library to get online, but they've closed along with all of the schools (public, colleges, and universities), restaurants (drive-thru only), etc., etc., [i]ad nauseum[/i]. I'm at a friend's house at the moment using his Wi-Fi.
I plan on making new portraits of the cast of TSFP as I can. :)
