SciFi and Fantasy Art Art Trade - Darcea by Rachel Day

Here is my half of an art trade with Elfwood artist Nicole M. Bergrath. Nicole wanted me to draw her fallen angel Darcea, and I have to say he was a lot of fun to work with. His eyes are great - one’s red, one’s green - though I think the tail’s also a unique addition.

I wanted to experiment with markers in this picture, which you can mainly see in the stylized wings - blending, and also creating a black halo effect (another place I tried to achieve that in is my "Angel of Argos" picture, also in this gallery). I also wanted a high contract between the background, the figure, and the wings; I thought about shading his body and clothes, but eventually went with the stark white.
