Description Sometimes everything works out the way I want it to.

Idk what the whole dress looks like, lol. Some sort of frothy confection for the win. Integra's allowed to wear frothy dresses on occasion.

Inspiration taken from several of Mucha's Bernhardt posters.

ETA: BY THE BY, if you've come from the far corners of dA to participate in any wankage, I'll be hiding your comments or reporting it as spam. The discussion, such as it was, is over.

Me: Integra, you are always going to be beautiful in my eyes. :3 Just...we might have to hide this picture from a certain someone, though. >.> He will like this too much...

Integra: -nods and tries hard not to imagine Alucard smirking at her because of this and imagining her in inappropriate outfits-

Alucard: Master, did you just call me? -sees the picture-

Me: O.O!! X.X!! Damn it! -runs away with the pic-

Alucard: -chuckles evilly and runs after the picture as well to get it back-

Integra: -facepalms-

Thank you bb! Art Nouveau is my roots. I learned how to do clothing folds properly due to just absorbing several Mucha print books one summer.

This is beyond gorgeous. The skin tone, the none-too big breasts, the composition, etc.

As for the wank: Curious, curious, despite of what "fans" say, the official sources (and canon interactions) sell Integra as a beauty, a lady, sometimes with less-than-polite compliments (which are all feminine: Babylon, slut lol Jan, etc). Anderson sees her as a lady he must escort in a dangerous night, she's called milady by Walter, 'miss' Hellsing sometimes by Alucard, Major's also charmed by a beautiful woman, Hirano insisted she was beautiful even after 30 years. Her official description is "cool, beautiful and quick to anger" (Seras and any other female characters, on the other hand, didn't get a pretty description by Word of God).

Pretty!Integra wouldn't be IC, I know, Beautiful!Integra on the other hand describes her as an adult. While cute as a little girl.

I haven't been around for a bit, but I finally found this, and WOW. A gorgeous piece and an entertaining flamewar to boot!
Her face is perfect. Sort of how I would imagine her if was depicted more realistically. The pose is spot on and hints to her deceptively young age and sexual innocence. Love the splash of red at her hand. Could it be a bleeding heart? It feels symbolic.
The only thing I would have to crit is the line quality of the figure compared to the background. Just a little too sketchy. Perhaps you might do a bigger, grander version of this?

Artema In reply to Stagsleap [2010-07-28 17:35:40 +0000 UTC]

It's a shame the discussion became as ugly as it did. Integra's well-balanced androgyny is what drew me to her in the first place. *le shrug*

Ahhh, ilu Antlers, your in-depth critiques make me happy!

You're right, the line quality isn't up to par. I would like to do something similar in the future, likely a variation on the same theme v a complete redraw.

But then again who knows? x3

kaylakirby [2010-07-27 12:49:32 +0000 UTC]

i think the glasses force you to think about the figure more in depth, makes you consider her intelligence as well as pleasing appearance giving her a more developed character.
