Tag As FavoriteComment		A succubus I drew for someone as a request. She wanted her to have no wings or horns, only a tail, and for her to be African. I agree that she doesn't look exactly African, but that's just my drawing abilities... >_<

I originally drew her with brown hair, but the requester had wanted her to have black hair (I just hadn't understood that). So I toyed around with some colour settings and produced this. The black hair really does bring out those blue eyes of hers.

ink/copic markers/colour changes with Photoshop 7.0

I love the colors of this pic ^.^. the eyes are so pretty, and they pop out. Her hair is amazing

:-) Maija Viertola replies: "I'm really happy with the colours. When I changed her hair black, her icy blue eyes worked much better."

This is just amazing...very good job with the hair, and the picture overall. I would love to have one drawn for me. Exceptional job on the hair...those icy blue eyes just give her a deliciously wicked aura. *giggles*

:-) Maija Viertola replies: "Thanks! It was nice to get all those different shades of black when I originally did it with brown and then changed the colors - if I had done it in black from the start, I wouldn't have gotten this result."

This is very nice; the loops of vines really make the composition.

:-) Maija Viertola replies: "To be honest, I just added those loops of vines without thinking of it that much - I'm glad if it helps the composition."

:-) Maija Viertola replies: "Haha, thanks, now I have that stuck in my head!"

Very exotic and feral. Gives a good feel of a 'wild creature' on the prowl. 2
