Character Portrait - Regina LaRouge

Regina LaRouge is the mistress of a vampire group. As a vampire leader, she is an authoritarian and feared figure.
I made this design having some things in mind, like giving her an old fashioned looks, inspired by 18th century outfits and hairstyles. Also I had a clear intention of not making a glamorous vampire, but one which is more close to her monster nature. Her flat nose, scars, and hairstyle rensembling to bat ears were made to give her an animal look, along with the fact that she uses a mask to cover her eyes because, just like bats, she can orient herself by echolocation.

Artwork made as a final project for the Domestika course "Photoshop for Concept Art" (by Nacho Yagüe)
It's an interesting course for amateur artists but also for more experienced people who would like to make a little reminding of techniques and tools available at Photoshop, plus Nacho it's an excellent artist and teacher.
