Description
For

She actually caught it months ago and I'm just now getting around to drawing it. D: Actually putting this in Digital Art this time because it REALLY doesn't look anime to me ; w ;' I hope she doesn't mind thoughh... I worked really hard on it. D':

All those details /cries And I didn't even know how to shade that corset-thing really so it looks like crap but her hair. HER HAIR OUTSHINES EVERYTHING! LMFAO. I am proud of it ; w ; I also like the picture overall. :'D I was adding in the texture and messing around with it a bit, and I added in the border around her and I was like THIS REMINDS ME OF ALPHONSE MUCHA <33333

Now I wonder what would happen if I added the border in before I started coloring O ^ O gonna have to try that sometime~ <3

So yeah, I'm really happy! This picture made me feel a bit more confident in my style ; u ; because I thought it was too messy, but then I realized I /can/ make it really clean if I spend more time on it...

Next time I want to try to make something more like this though:


To see how comfortable I am with that style still...I mean /technically/ it should be less work than painting, but I just overthink everythinggg and ; A ;' we'll see lol.

For once I actually started something off not really liking it, but being really satisfied with it at the end! Generally it goes the other way around! D: Okay enough rambling~ <3

Program: Photoshop CS5
Time: 20+ hours D: I didn't really time it this time~

Yay you’re finished. I really liked how this piccy looked from the w.i.p stages, and I think you’ve outdone yourself with the hair. Cos I know that curls are a pain to work with when you have to colour em in bit by bit.

Also I like the characters attire, very aristocrat-like and the details… *w* fwaah… they’re pretty, especially the pattern work on her arm sleeves and the corset. So I think you’ve done well on it.

Also, I like that the texture used for the background is subtle, it doesn’t take away the focal point from the character. All in all, you’ve done well :3

Thank you~ <3 Yeah this took me a while ; u ; Thank you!! I'm really proud of the hair x3

Hehe I almost never draw clothes like that, but I do like how it looks. It's really intricate at pretty c: The pattern on her arm sleeves and corset were a bitch to do ;___; And I don't think they look as nice as they should have, but I've never done details like that before so I was like alskjdfl what do I do with this xDD

:3 Yeah, I really like the texture. ; A ; I forgot to link where I got it from ffff-- But it did what I wanted it to, it kind of brings her out because it's just subtle, but she doesn't blend in with the background like she would have if I left it a plain color. x3 I should use textures more.

;w; I can tell by the way it turned out that it took you some time. I know with my own works, I will work on em for a few hrs. Quit for the day and resume it another day, so I know the feeling of a pic taking long.

Also ah ^^ well you did a lovely job with the outfit, especially that intricate pattern. And awwwh don't be too hard on yourself, you did well ;.; I'd probably complain if I were in your boat though.

And awwh :c I see. Darn. Well it was a nice texture <33 and yes it does bring her out, if you went with the same tone as her clothing, it wouldn't have been good but :3 overall you did an awesome job and hope the Kiriban winner likes it <3

Yeahhh. I hate when they start taking a few days I feel so slowww. xD The intricate pattern was hard I almost wanted to be like maybe I just won't put the pattern in someohw LOL!

D: Deviantart's search doesn't seem to be cooperating right now so I can't find it, either.. Aw thank you <3 I think she did like it c:

^^' Like what I started. I will get to it and I did try using your redlined version, and it was going okay but then I tried something different >3> and also lol... I've done that. Like when I was trying to draw Sona I was all "o^o maybe if I don't use her detailed dress I could throw something different onto her"

And booo T-T the search is mean and sweet c: good to hear she liked it!

Hirahime In reply to KitaeKat [2012-02-25 22:43:50 +0000 UTC]

LOL wait so are you done with the sketch yet? xDD I TRIED TO DRAW SONA....Like normal Sona, and I just remembered how I NEVER finished her D': oh so many unfinished pictures...

KitaeKat In reply to Hirahime [2012-02-25 22:52:28 +0000 UTC]

^^' Sketch = done. Colouring = not yet started. I wanted to do the background first because if I don't do that first, I know I won't end up making one. I'm trying to picture in mind what it should look like.

That and I've been distracted by TV Series D8

And ah =w= I drew Sona, I never finished it... and it makes me saaad because the thing I couldn't do was her hands & her instrument...

Hirahime In reply to KitaeKat [2012-02-26 00:38:47 +0000 UTC]

Oooh okay. I do the background first too sometimes c: It makes it easier to pick the colors and stuff.

LOL. What're you watching? C:

LOL. I didn't really get past the sketch/basic colors. xDD

Kitty do you like tutorials? Because I never have anyone to show my large assortment of tutorials too ; - ;

KitaeKat In reply to Hirahime [2012-02-26 00:50:50 +0000 UTC]

^^ Yeah it makes things so much easier if you have a background already in mind. I'm still looking at things for inspiration.

Also haha I'm watching "The Walking Dead". That new tv series.

Awwwh D:

And yus I love tutorials ^_^ even if its digital media or traditional media. I love reading other people's techniques on how they do somethin <3

Yeahhh, having a background in mind makes it easier. xD Ooh okay. c:

Oh yeah The Walking Dead I've watched that! It was pretty interesting. xD

okay Imma skype you a bunch of them idk if you've seen some of themm...

KitaeKat In reply to Hirahime [2012-02-26 07:03:06 +0000 UTC]

Well that and cos sometimes what I've found is. If I do it on 2 diff files, and joining the character to the BG, it requires a lot of erasing cos the magic eraser doesn't get rid of everything...

And yeah xD its pretty cool series...

And yay ^_^ I shall save those!

Hirahime In reply to KitaeKat [2012-02-28 23:49:58 +0000 UTC]

LMAO wait what. I've never done the picture on two different files before xDD And I don't even think I've touched the magic eraser...

Yay! :3

D; I seem to do my BG’s that way… heh. And yeah I’ve used the magic eraser a lot in my works. Even for pencil pieces with digital bg’s. MAGIC ERASER TO SAVE THA DAY O:

And yeh some of the tut’s were intriguing c:

o.o I've used the magic wand but not the magic eraser...

I haven't looked through everything on those lists yet...xD If I do the 30 day meme thing I'll probably use them then xDD

KitaeKat In reply to Hirahime [2012-02-29 03:46:04 +0000 UTC]

o-o I use the magic wand too a lot too. Especially when I need to see if I've coloured everything in full.

Also lol I mostly went for the painting tut's. owo!

Other than the face being the only thing without the grainy effect, this is really really good, it just makes the face itself seem like the only thing to look at, which is obviously not that case.

Hirahime In reply to Kairu1 [2012-02-20 21:32:25 +0000 UTC]

Lolwut. Nothing has a grainy effect except the background... xD I think what makes her face a focal point is all those red curls...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Kairu1 In reply to Hirahime [2012-02-20 22:06:09 +0000 UTC]

Her face looks more clear than the rest, like a shade brighter or paler. Like if you compare it to her handd.

Hirahime In reply to Kairu1 [2012-02-22 18:04:04 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh yeah, just a little bit. But I always make the faces a little brighter. It just feels like they're supposed to be bright. xD
