Meredith Gentry Character Inspired Series: Doyle



Doyle (pronounced like Dole fruit) is the Captain of the Queen's Ravens, the Queen's guard.  He is sent by the Queen to fetch Merry.  In the books he is described as having black skin (not brown, or dark brown, or chocolate...black) with blue highlights.  There is a point in the story where he tries to bespell Merry and she she's a rainbow of colors, not necessarily a rainbow, but lots of colors.  Doyle has pointed ears (a distinct characteristic that marks his as not full-blooded Sidhe royal) and he has no shame in showing them, keeping his long black hair braided so his ears show all the time.  In his ears and one nipple he wears silver jewelry, always.

I used those three things to create this look:  black skin with blue highlights, rainbow colors when bespelling, and silver jewelry.  I didn't want to use navy blue as I felt it would be more, well, blue than anything so I went with blue then black over that.  I used a chromalust from Sugarpill called "Stella" for the lid.  Stella has a jet black base with rainbow glitter mixed in.  And for the silver I used Sugarpill's "Tiara" applied wet to the inner corners.  Here is the look (warning - this will be picture heavy to show different aspects of the look):









You can see all the sparkles here



An even better shot of the sparkles :D


This shows the blue the best.  Just a hint :)
