Description This is my own version of

My initial thought was to make a sort of pin-up art-nouveau style illustration, all standing up and looking lovely and with lots of hair floating everywhere. But as I roamed for reference poses, I started thinking that it would be more interesting if I made something more dynamic and a bit disturbing.

And, if you've read =Yzabel 's description in the initial version of this, well, she is kinda crazy and she can manipulate Mind and Space with her magick, using the cat's cradle thingy as focus. Which I thought was a *brilliant* idea to begin with and that's why I wanted to make this. And she's supposed to be dumped in a looney-bin. Thus the smudged up Silent-Hill-y bgr and the -hopefully- claustrophobic format of the pic.

So, u tell me if I achieved the right atmosphere for a WoD theme

Done in PS with lineart in AI after the initial penciled sketch, which was based on this >>[link] by *Tasastock (And just to make things clear, I made a pencil drawing out of the preview, so I hope there's no exclusive stock rules infringement there?)

Miss Valentine obviously belongs to her Author, Yzabel Ginsberg.

Enjoy!

Whoa, you can tell I'm late in checking my dA account! I hadn't seen it until now!

What can I say? It's just perfect. The atmosphere conveyed here is exactly what you describedβ€”the part of Bedlam where she was locked in was clearly Silent Hill-esque in many regards, and it's just so fitting that I'm in awe. No, really.

Thank you. ^___^

Aaw! I'm really glad you liked it! Means a lot to me I could convey the right atmosphere -in her Author's eyes too!! And I had soo much fun doing this one. Thanx a bunch sweetie!

You're welcome. I just regret I hadn't seen it sooner! Between being sick and revising, I'm not spending a lot of time combing through the deviations waiting in my watch list at the moment.

...I bet the players who met that NPC drooled when they saw it too. Because, of course, I had to share the link.

Oh, hey! Thanx luv!

Don't worry about messages though! I've got like a gazillion deviations from my watch list I'm too lazy to check myself, even without exams and being sick!

Really, it's just a matter of having a few hours ahead to catch up and writing those novels, I mean, posts. Soon, soon!

Novels! And then you could perhaps store these "novels" in a place like>> [link]
(because I *had* to share this one! )

Yeah, definitely! I had Jay next to me when I saw it for the first time and we were both " ... *_____* Wooaaaaaaaaah awesooooome", basically. Jay (Floyd's player) was especially impressed by/approved of the claustrophobic atmosphere. Said it was definitely how he envisioned Bedlam ^^

No problem It's so nice to see one of the most striking scenes in that story drawn so nicely! ^____^

You're a sweetheart, really! But in any case, the theme itself was very inspiring to me, plus I have a bit of MtA experience myself to be able to understand all the implications.
Now I just wish I could have witnessed that part of your Chronicle somehow!

Hey, who knows, maybe someday I'll write about it (or translate the account of it wrote on the Shadow Nexus website! ^^)

Oooo, that'd be sweet! I've been keeping an eye on Yza's stuff anyways, but if that ever happens, try to send me a link I suppose?

...And that's why I tweeted about my drawings from 2 years ago being so ugly. Mine definitely pales in comparison.
