Esvelka, Fortuneteller

Did I have any idea what I was doing? Nope! Did I struggle with colors for probably 2-3 hours? Yep! And here you go, the product of blah-drawing on the fly. This was very much an experiment of basically everything I know I need to work on (namely, composition, color, line weight, flowing positions, etc.), and looking at it now I can see things to fix, but MEH. It looks cool enough that I can ignore that XD

I don't know what the lore is behind this piece, but I do know it's some Serithan shard—or even a normal wolf, as the colors are not true to life. I feel like she's a fortuneteller-equivalent or a lore-keeper or a travelling merchant of some kind, someone who talks and looks enchanting, but has some sort of different personality/alterative motives under there.

Here's a different, darker version:

As you can see, colors are not my strong point. I really wasn't sure what I was doing while placing colors. This one in particular is using a gradient map from a gray scale version.
