Merry Sithmas - Asajj Ventress

Asajj Ventress

It's another Sithmas card, Asajj Ventress, from the "Star Wars: Clone Wars" animated series, as well as appearances in various comic books.  It's another case of a character catching my eye because of the look of the character.  Apparently, she is in Star Wars canon, being an apprentice of Count Dooku (Darth Tyranus) and a member of the Nightsisters (a group of Sith Witches), and it would be cool to see her turn up in a movie.

Below is the work in progress, which is the same as the previous one for Darth Nihilus.

STEP ONE:  Here are the digital inks, done in ClipStudio Paint (formerly MangaStudio).  It is a 1,000px x 1,400px document, with 200dpi.  The pencils eventually just became the inks in this drawing, and I mostly used the Symmetry Brush to mirror the drawing on both sides.

STEP TWO:  I colored the drawing in ClipStudio Paint, and using Photoshop to create the two frame animated .gif.

Done with Clip Studio Paint and animated with Photoshop (yeah, I know I should learn to use the Animation feature within Clip Studio Paint, and I will... eventually. :-)
