A new character portrait I’ve created. I’ve named her Melaina. Made with pencils, blackwing pencil, water soluble graphite by artgraf and a water soluble graphite crayon by lyra.
In a hidden halo setting, a ring of small diamonds surrounds the central stone between the claws of the setting, adding some extra sparkle to each element of the ring. This ring is also pavé set on the shank, meaning that small diamonds are set into the circumference of the band.
This was intended to be the first layer of a multi-colored rose. The ghostly starkness of the black on white was so appealing to me I decided to leave it alone and call it finished.
