Ice Summoner

Pushing ahead on adapting the manga/anime style, I just finished this new piece I call 'Ice Summoner'. A Summoner is a common staple in fantasy characters, and their main task is to call forth creatures or command an element, and in this case, I thought it would be interesting to create something that involves ice. The main challenge in this piece was creating the face of the girl, as I am still trying to develop the anime/manga style and since I chose to keep the girl's skin white, it was challenging to render her face and nose using only a limited pallet of greys. Speaking of color pallet, I loved how the color combination came out, especially how the pale yellow of her hair pops out of the other neutrals.
