Description This is a result of procrastinating homework.

Okay so I said that my next work with Victoria will have more focus on her features, so here is her face..
I will probably do a proper character sheet later on though, so i can give her more detail.
I took the title 'Always by your side' from the lyrics of 'Trust You' by Yuna Ito, which so happens to be the new ending of Gundam 00. It's a great song and the video was epic, and I wanted to do something with that concept.

So Victoria likes someone. Who? I'm not saying. (more like i haven't figured it out)

And its not Lockon. Because I just realised the white dress could be a reference to the AnewxLockon/Lyle scene.
I just drew it because white represents purity.

I tried a new colouring style this time, I'm still experimenting with different styles. But yeah, sorry for the messy lineart.

I might make this a little series, with different characters, and the title deriving from the lyrics of 'Trust You'.

I might.

Hope you guys like it

NICE!!The expression in her face is just beautiful. You're trying new styles?That makes 2 of us then , except for me I'm trying 'different' styles, coz I don't even have a style yet (does that even makes sense?)

yesh, it makes sense xD
Thanks for your comment! I'm trying to see which works for me, and I'm also trying to improve my CG-ing :] I'm not very good with it (hurry up dad and get CS4 xD).

Beauuuuutiful! ;o;
I love Victoria's white dress, and how you've drawn all those elaborate folds in her clothes, and how her hair looks so silky (what shampoo? 8D). Holy snap!

Also, I like how she's the main focus of the picture. The background's really nicely done because it hasn't clashed with her, but it compliments her. xD I like how it's white in the centre, getting a little more splotchy down the bottom, but doesn't take your eye off Victoria herself. And her expression is so nice, and the CGing so pro!

HOW DO YOU CG SO WELL
I AM VERY VERY JEALOUS

Sorry for the long comment! I decided to ramble on. xDD

It's ok! It's always great to have some detailed feedback :] Helps me improve~
She probably uses Vidal Sassoon >_< Just like in their new Japanese ad with Namie Amuro in it
I was really going for some other effect for her hair but i guess this way is nice too!
At the beginning I was planning on having the shoulder of someone else at the right, but I decided against it xD
Her expression took me..5-7 tries?

Scissordog In reply to aqua-ice-water-drop [2009-03-26 05:18:09 +0000 UTC]

All these hair products that I don't know about.. XD *shotshotshot*

But I do know about Namie Amuro! >:3
And really? What were you going for? It's funny how sometimes you try to draw one thing and it ends up looking completely different, but in a good way. I think the hair, along with the expression, is one of my favourite parts of the picture because its so detailed. *w* And how some of the strands blow in different directions... just gorgeouuuus!

And right! I think she looks really brooding by herself, too... and not having the person by her side makes 'always by your side' sound more mysterious... like... WHO IS THE PERSON? 8D

I rambled again D: ////

I love Namie's music She just released a single, and two of the songs were used as music for commercials, one of them was for Vidal Sassoon (VS)[link] that was just one of the versions)

I was looking for a more reassured look, with just a hint of sadness, but it ended up looking well. like that. The hair took me forever to do, and the ends are kind of messy but i guess it adds to the effect..that's what you get when you do crappy line art xD

But then again the finished result wasn't too bad either
thank you for having that view on it- my brother thinks the picture makes no sense :]

people are dying, and it breaks my heart to see the couples being broken...

I wonder who setsuna has to face in the movie? A new innovator?

It breaks my heart to see the couples in 00 broken up.
