Description .lease attempt to read the description to gain some understanding of this concept : P :.

For some reason I'd been putting off uploading this for months, maybe just being selfish?? :L

But anyway, here is my main protagonist character for a graphic novel I've been planning for years and years, it constantly changes and develops, so its actually moving away from what I first imagined it as, but I can tell you thats for the best
I hope, if I succeed in becoming a Graphic Novelist and concept artist, I'll be able to make my idea and dream come to life for everyone.
Pfffft, even if I don't get some miraculous break or where I want to be in the art world, I'll still make this :L

But anyway, major MAJOR design vamp because well.....her previous design was amazingly crap-tacular and a bit of a Batman wannabe
(careful not to be too shocked, I haven't drawn her since 2011 :L dragongirl787.deviantart.com/a... )

And I love this design and idea so much more, I spent so freaking long on it ;-;
It finally feels like this is her, like shes 'grown' into this.

Some quick facts about her ((not too much, most of my ideas are going to be kept under wraps for now ))
- she is, as her costume suggests a vigilante or 'superhero' albeit a reluctant one....
- she is not particularly skilled in fighting 'fist to fist' and shes also pretty useless with guns. So her main fighting attributes and skills rely on her weapons (which you can see sketched at the side), the dagger tail chain, and her vicious elbow blades (their design still isn't definite yet, I'm having trouble working out the mechanism which allows them to become 'unsheathed' and retract again.)
- 'DragonGirl' is the name of her vigilante persona


Still haven't really got a clue as to her colour scheme or even her 'true' name yet :L

there were other sketches on this page, but they were just some pose practices, might try some more defined ones another time.

Also, another random fact, my DA name, as many people think, was not intentionally created to show my love for dragons, (although it is equally as fitting for that reason) , it is named after this vigilante character here, her concept has been in my mind since....god knows when xD

ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE AWESOME

Yes, it was a very grandiose change from the uniforms! I personally like this one concerning the other had a cape...haha, that's just me though...
And her choice of weapons are pretty creative! I really like them too. also the idea of making this into a graphic novel is just a very miraculous idea! I haven't been planning a graphic novel, but I wanted to try and learn more about Animation production to try and make shows and whatnot.
And i'll be sure to read your graphic novels when they come out! ^^

haha, yeah, a change of epic proportions haha :L

but for the better I think


In the past I had tried so hard to make the cape fit in with the design, but it never seemed to really work and partially I think I only wanted it there as some sort of Batman-esque gliding device, but it wouldn't work with her character at all I think haha x3


Thanks! I spent ages pondering over the weapon choice and design, the basic idea in my head was that she needed something for close-up fighting capabilities and something with a bit longer range

Thanks again!! ahha x3

I've always wanted to go into comics and arty things like that

So whenever I get any ideas I write them down and keep adding to them, but this is probably my most advanced idea so far


thats a great idea! i think you should go for it! It would be such a cool experience!


haha, thank you very much! I appreciate it, when I eventually get them out, you'll be the first to know

Wow...that is like...a really big improvement
Regardless, I'm just amazed at her new design^^
Especially her choice of weapons! Those are really cool and bad-ass!
Perhaps you can study how batman uses his gadgets to figure out her blades?
Anywatys i think its always nice having your own personal projects ;D
I know with your skills and talents, you will bring this beautiful character to life one day
And I will read all of your graphic novels
Gah, Rebecaa you just keep improving and anything is possible for you
Oh and I would not be caught dead in a dark alley with her

hahaha, tell me about it! xD

Its about bloody time though! her old design was so outdated, garish...and well....blatantly a Batman wannabe xD



But anyway, thank you so very much, again Kassie!!!

you are determined to kill me with kindness TT____TT

and thats a good idea! ^^

the problem I was having was figuring out how they can turn from their small and compact sheath sort of mode and then extending the blades, because I'm not very good at drawing working mechanisms ^^" but I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be showing if its contained within the sheath blades.....agh it hurts my head xD

but I'll definitely look at Batman's funky ass gadgets, seen as though hes a huge inspiration anyways :3


pfffft, lol I have shitloads of personal projects.....that just never get done ;L


that means so much to me Kassie, thank you :')

pffft, you'll be the first to read them to make sure they aren't shit!!! :L

C': Β Β 



.....neither would I.... ;-;

I'm pretty sure all my characters could and would kill me....

but shes not evil in nature at all....but my stories planned for her aren't easy going ^^"

(Im sorry for the late reply on this it was on the last page of my replies ;__; )

I don't think her old design looked like a Batman wannabe^^

Stop being so mean to yourself


You're welcome Rebecca

Well Batman always has these weird gadgets that pop out of no where

I'm sure studying them will set you on the right track

Just practice and you'll soon reach perfection


I guarantee, you're graphic novels will not be crap at all!Β 

They'll be the best novels out there

Top seller too


Well, you just like to torture your characters don't you Β

NO I LIKE BEING MEAN TO MYSELF



yeah, god knows where he hides those gadgets.......lets not think about it XD

hahaha XD

I've got a long way to go, but I hope so ^^

DragonGirl787 In reply to myconius [2013-07-16 16:55:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

I wanted the design to be unique and so that it might actually function properly for manoeuvrability and defence, so designed it more in an armour fashion than maybe usual superhero designs

I'm always working on it! But I really wanted to make sure everything worked and slotted into the main design
