Phantom and Christine: Part 5 (C's Hair and Rock Pillar)

Now that Erik has been fixed (not in the veterinary term, of course) Time to remove some line art or change it into a less obvious colour (like on the nose). Removing the line art worked best around the eyes, probably because the contrast was the best.

I wasn't sure how to do Christine's hair so I applied two gradient fills, a dark brown on Multiply filter and a warm orange on Screen filter. I then erased parts of the dark brown layer so only shadows remain and reveal the mid-tone again. The highlights was an outline done with the line-tool then filled in with the warm orange.

Now, its time that Christine stopped pawing the empty air. Looking on the Internet for cave walls I was drawn to the calcium formations that look both deformed and beautiful, suiting the theme of the story. Switching into ArtRage, which marvelously allows the layers to be kept, I built up the formation. It stills needs a bit of an adjustment so it isn't such a distraction and belongs within the setting.
