PEOPLE OF EARTH: SHHHH.





i'd asked the abundantly well-known !snapesnogger in a note if i could color this then-new drawing of one of her lesser seen (trust me- i looked) characters from her project, Red Venom. so i pretty much guessed on everything except his hair/scales/horns which i was lucky enough to find a ref. his backstory is there. kinda.

i did take several liberties i'm sure i could've asked her about, but what the hell since she's a busy lady and all:
- you can't go wrong with yellow eyes.

- polished bronze is more beautiful than gold and silver put together, also a more practical material as far as armor goes. (and it is fuckin FUN to SHADE). the old ref i used had hide armguards but the ones in this drawing were metal, and, screw gold.

- i don't specifically remember seeing a beach, but no one likes a pasty naga. also i liked the pinup-worthyness of the lineart.

- what was a jewel and what was just a stud? no clue, made due.


TECH:
when i fanart some famous whacko from japan i've never met or gotten permission from i tend to y'know... SWEAR AGAINST TRACING THEIR FUCKING MANGA SCANS AND CALLING IT 'VECTOR ANIME ART" LIKE SO MANY FOLKS I KNOW DO not naming any names... but in Fen's case, since i had only asked to "color" a specific image in question, i decided not to deviate from Gem's lineart at all. down to how i shaded it. and yes, it was tempting to re-do his entire face (not for it not being good already, but just, into my style.) but this isn't fanart. this is someone else's art colored and i didn't really ask if i could hack it up apart from that. i didn't even license it myself since it technically isn't my art, i just made it look colorful.

LINEART: :iconsnapesnogger:
COLORTRACE: :iconsparkpenguin:



shut up.
PS hopefully my internet will be working tomorrow and i respond to the comments/shrieks/rocks.
