{art} Charlotte Appleby in Palette 20

This is a companion piece to "Nathan Appleby in Palette 37." I chose a warmer color palette for Charlotte, to reflect her personality, but wanted one with some cooler colors to represent that steely determination she shows when the chips are down and people need her. I absolutely loved the way Char Spencer played her, and I hope I've done her portrayal justice!

Drawn in GIMP on a Mac with a digital drawing tablet.

Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] alby_mangroves and [livejournal.com profile] amphigoury for their awesome art beta skills, and to [livejournal.com profile] rocknvaughn, [livejournal.com profile] jelazakazone, and even Charlotte Spencer (I'm still a puddle of goo over that one) for cheering me on. I say this every time, but it's still true; you guys are my village and it wouldn't happen without you <3 <3

This is beautiful. You captured Charlotte's determination and spirit so very well, and, as always, my eyes first go to the clothing and look for texture. Yours is exquisite!

Thank you very much! <3 It's drawn using the same brush (acrylic 2, if you're wondering), just in different sizes, but it's amazing how much of a difference that makes.
