Day 25 - Servalan

Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is another Blake's 7 one. I find it hard to draw teeth well so I closed her mouth. :-P

Servalan



My NaArMaMo 2008 Gallery is here.

This is wonderful! She looked so beautiful in those early scenes with the pastel make-up and white dresses.

You have to make icons of these.

Thank you! I'm going to make icons of some of my art next month. :-)

She did look her best in white and soft make up. I'm composing a post for tomorrow on best and worst costumes for them all, and I said pretty much that:
"Servalan looked wonderful in white. They should have stuck to it because the red didn't suit her as much, and the harsher make-up and black dresses of S4 made her look a lot older."

I love how you have blended the makeup around her eyes ... goodness, you're talented!

Thanks! But I've been blending make-up round my eyes for years. ;-)

LOL!

Wow. That is just incredible.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! It didn't look like much at all till I coloured her and added the make-up. :-)

Ah, the closed mouth smile suits her so well. This is really beautifully done.

Thanks! The cap shows her little teeth (http://www.framecaplib.com/b7lib/html/chars/images/trial/alone/trial057.htm) and I knew I could do those well. I always end up making people look as if they have pebbles in their mouths.

Lovely.

Thank you!

Another lovely choice of colours there, and her hair is amazing - you've given it a lovely texture.

I love the creamy white cowl necked dress she wears in 'Deliverance' I think it is. I saw it in the costume exhibition at Deliverance 98 and so wanted one for myself.

Thank you! Blending the edges of the hair made all the difference.

That's a favourite of mine too. I couldn't find a screencap I liked for that one. Yes, it's 'Deliverance' and 'Project Avalon'.

She looks far to nice to be evil ;-)

[identity profile] hafren.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I was worried that she looked a bit too nice - more JP than Servie, maybe! In S1 she does look very virginal, but oddly not also innocent....

Lovely pic, though.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
But she does do a very creamy smile that belies her nature! This is the screencap (http://www.framecaplib.com/b7lib/html/chars/images/trial/alone/trial057.htm) I worked from.

Have you seen B7? She can smile sweetly as she languidly condemns someone to death.

[identity profile] sorsha-khan.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
SWEETLY yes, but not nicely. Servalan NEVER looks nice. 'Poisoned honey' is the expression we use at home (first used to describe the Baroness in Sound of Music).

That's an excellent description!

[identity profile] astrogirl2.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, nice!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank! :-)

Awww, she's lovely. I miss her in S1 and S2 so much. She was so pretty in those two seasons. I hope you'll give her a Travis 1 to match. :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
She really did suit the white clothes and soft make-up in S1 and S2.

Travis 1 is the next portrait! I'll also do a Travis 2 which will use up another slot, yay!

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahahaha, good to use a slot, but I don't think I could make myself seriously draw Travis 2. XD

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Some people like him (I know at least one fan) and it's only fair. He looked good anyway. :-)

I do love when Servalan slaps him like the petulant child he behaves like.

Wow, she looks so cheerful and sweet - if I didn't know who she was I'd have no idea she was just looking for a spot to plunge the knife....

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Abd she is! She's threatening Thania in that scene.

Very Servie. I think you have a talent for textures; her hair looks great.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! It looked rather flat till I blended the edges; that made all the difference.
