Dante's Cigarette in Deathstroke's Mask WIP

Killer-Red

WIP. My first time drawing DmC: Devil May Cry Dante. Did a mix of markers and pencils + digital editing, kinda like my previous post of DMC5 Dante. Basically, I emulated a photoshop-style process using Apple Sketchbook.

You can tell where the blue pencil lines turn into sketch marks on the neck. The lighting/color work I did digitally, didn't preserve some of the line work in the ears so they look like 2 little butterfly wings on either side of his head.

I like how the skin came out as well as the hair texture. I also like how different he looks from 5 Dante, it's a fun contrast, working with such distinctly different faces. I'm also happy with the eyes, and the textures cutting across his face and neck that make him look like he's in limbo.

I'm in between drawing pads but when I get my new one, I'll go in and clean up some of the crude rubber-stamping, I'll detail the necklace, and I'll make him pop a little more with some accents. I'll also pull him forward by adjusting the background a bit. Until then, here's another edit. Tried to get the texture and colors closer to his look in the game with this one.
