Dye-cember-2018 Challenge 6 - Victoria Mikaru

Victoria Mikaru, a character belonging to @alastor-the-executioner and drawn by Blueessence.  I love adding colors to her work. It just gives it a nice, soft quality under her lines and shades.

Magister Illyrio murmured a command, and four burly slaves hurried forward, bearing between them a great cedar chest bound in bronze. When she opened it, she found piles of the finest velvets and damasks the Free Cities could produce … and resting on top, nestled in the soft cloth, three huge eggs. Dany gasped. They were the most beautiful things she had ever seen, each different than the others, patterned in such rich colors that at first she thought they were crusted with jewels, and so large it took both of her hands to hold one. She lifted it delicately, expecting that it would be made of some fine porcelain or delicate enamel, or even blown glass, but it was much heavier than that, as if it were all of solid stone. The surface of the shell was covered with tiny scales, and as she turned the egg between her fingers, they shimmered like polished metal in the light of the setting sun. One egg was a deep green, with burnished bronze flecks that came and went depending on how Dany turned it. Another was pale cream streaked with gold. The last was black, as black as a midnight sea, yet alive with scarlet ripples and swirls. "What are they?" she asked, her voice hushed and full of wonder.

"Dragon's eggs, from the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai," said Magister Illyrio. "The eons have turned them to stone, yet still they burn bright with beauty." 

"I shall treasure them always." Dany had heard tales of such eggs, but she had never seen one, nor thought to see one. It was a truly magnificent gift, though she knew that Illyrio could afford to be lavish. He had collected a fortune in horses and slaves for his part in selling her to Khal Drogo.

Vahaadi by Bluessence! I love the knife and jewelry she designed for him! I draw him quite squarish now, but it's fun to look back on old art of him and remember that he once had rather delicate, almost elfin features.

Visual Branding

Changed the E at essence to a blue colour to create a brand icon that would stay in the minds of the readers and help build an identity in their mind

Wanted to add QR codes so that when people scan the magazine it will take them to a URL (www.blu.essence) that the viewers can enter competitions and get involved with the magazine.

Also wanted to bring the @BLUESSENCE on the back on the magazine, this is a concept that I would want to bring further so that people can interact and see what is going on social media.
