All hail the Princess if you know whats good for you!
And again I find myself coloring Agni, but with a more than good enough reason this time. Why?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZEARTH!!!
Thought I wouldnt have anything prepared? Well, surprise! And before you ask Why not Ravaged?, truth is this pic was already finished by the time you suggested that one , still, I hope you like how I colored it. ^_^
So there you have it, Agni Drago in all of her glory as the daughter of the Supreme One, and probably enjoying it somewhere around the world with her whole harem to enjoy all by herself.
You already know I love this, but I thought I'd reiterate.
Thanks so much for the Birthday Present!!! ^_^

Looks okay... but two things... the gold bits come off as too brassy to my eye, and I would have reversed the black and the green on the leggings to better differentiate them from the cape.
a bit more shading or shadow or generally sudued tones would help too, it's a bit brash for the dark future of ASiT

Well, regarding the gold bits, I tried different colors with that, but still nothing would come out as good as the gold, in my opinion. And regarding the leggings, I know what you mean, but keep in mind that, belt aside, the suit is still a one piece, and the colors are meant to follow, meaning I would have had to reverse the upper part as well, and then THAT part would feel "mixed" with the inner side of the cape.
But aside from that, well, ASiT Shego didn't wear a darker shade of green, so I don't see why Agni's should be darker either.
Still, thanks for the coments. Hope you like it. ^^
that is its (one piece) so it would be difficult... I guess you're limited by the base piece.
And you're right about the nature of TSO's suit... Still, the lighting of her environments made it look darker.
as to the gold, the trick is to remember it's a different material than the spandex... start with a darker muddier tone, and then use sharper highlights and shadows. This lends it the metallic look, without casting the whole thing in a jarring yellow. the color on her screen-left boot would actually be what you'd want for the base metallic color, and then turn down the softness of your highlight brush to sharpen the gleam/shadow effects, reflecting it as a solid shape with hard edges, not as much a fabric piece. (and one of these days I'll learn to spell it as piece, not peice )
