Morrigan the Darkstalter
Now for something different....
This sketch has been lingering in my art book for a long time now, but after a while, I figure that I'll just finalize the art. So here's the art of a certain succubus which is undoubtedly some of the most popular out there.
Well, she's Morrigan Aensland from the Darkstalkers series (in Japan it is known as Vampire, which is kinda..... bland....). She's the most popular character from the franchise thanks to a numbers of crossover and cameos that Capcom has done to her. Which is a shame. I would really like to see another Darkstalkers fighting game because of how unique that game is.
Anyways, the steps!
Base sketch.
Sketch details.
Her design is..... surprisingly simple.
Inking/Lineart.
As usual, smaller lines for the face and larger lines for the others.
Base colors.
Another one of those simple yet recognizable colors. I actually liked the base colors before adding the details since it captures her style so much LOL.
Details.
She looks ......shiny for some reason :/.....
And now the background.
Basically I'm trying to do a purple night sky. This is of course a vector art. So this like one of those where I mix vector art with my art.
Now to put her in this vector art with some extra effects.
And finally some final adjustments and composition.
Ah Morrigan.....
She's really popular. Probably some of the most popular succubus ever. She has a lot of fanarts, cosplays, .....you name it! Of course, her most defining trait is her sex appeal. Fun fact, she was originally designed to be a cute vampire, but since Darkstalkers already has a Vampire in the name of Demitri Maximoff, so she ends up being a succubus which adds the overall types in the Darkstalkers universe. Some of her vampire design sticks with her however, with her bat motif and all.
The game itself was really entertaining!
It's like one of those styles where you mix Looney Tunes and anime into one heck of a fighting game! That alone make the game full of personality with each of its characters traits on full display thanks to it's expressive sprites animations. Principles of Animation FTW, and also the Capcom art team for their unique design (Bengus and Akiman comes to mind.) It's such a shame that this game has not have a new game after a long time. Guess Morrigan has to represent the Darkstalkers for Capcom for the time being. That obscure fighting game will always be remembered for its outlandish characters.
Anyways, Enjoy! :D

This character is great as a female superhero. I like your process shots. It's always interesting to see how artists work :)
LOL thanks! Strange that you mention that Morrigan was a superheroine, since she was a succubus noblewomen XP. But then she is not entirely evil and is a bit friendly even though she is still a bit dangerous. Guess her crossover with Marvel really fits in her Marvel vs Capcom crossover now that you mention it! XD
Hola excelente trabajo ,muy bien detallado , me gusto mucho la postura de la mujer en escena en verdad muchas felicitaciones por tu obra de arte @gordon92,sigue adelante tienes mucho talento
Hello, excellent work, very well detailed, I really liked the position of the woman on stage, in truth, many congratulations for your artwork @gordon92, keep going, you have a lot of talent
Thanks a bunch! Though I still have a journey to do with my art! ☺
I’m so blessed, again I saw this fabulous artwork posted in Steemit Art Gallery! I’m so glad your doing this, because I check out the gallery everyday. It’s so hard to remember to check out and upvote my peeps posts but at the gallery I always upvote every artists work there, and reply to them, and upvote them, like I did you, I receive more friends that way. Anyways, this is an incredible drawing, you know so much about manga. About 20 years ago my husband took my two kids and myself to our first Anime Festival here in the U.S in Iowa. A three day event which always included Cosplays. It always was so much fun, my kids always made there own elaborate costumes, a different one for everyday. My son loved to dress up as a cute cat, wearing a shirt that said “I GIVE FREE HUGS” and he got a lot of them, he really enjoyed the ladies during that time. We went to “Anime Fest” for many years, until my kids grew up and left home. We were like the first pioneers to set foot in Anima and manga land. Remember when I said I was going to show you something, and I actually forgot to do that anyways, I’m going to send you here a picture of my daughters bedroom because when she was about 12 years old she painted a large mural of a very popular Anime character, on the wall. Looks exactly like him, but I can’t remember the characters name, I think it’s Vash or something like that. Do you know who it is? My daughter is now 27years old, and is a body painter for a photographer. She paints people’s bodies and faces into Anime characters, or anything they want, she’s a cosmetologist so she dose hair and creates costumes. And she still draws characters like yourself, and is fantastic artist.
Thanks! Maybe it's because of the age, since our age are quite similar (I'm supposed to be 26 this year BTW XD). Maybe because of the anime boom in the 90's that most of our generation was at least influenced by anime. Cons huh... My first anime convention that I went is when I was just a first year of my university studies. It's called Comic Fiesta here in Malaysia and it's getting bigger every year!
This is one off my daughters mural in her bedroom, it doesn’t look big but it is. It’s still on the wall in her bedroom, along with all the other paintings, I don’t want to paint over it HAHA !
Wow! Those very young day's of art 😂!
