Description this is Mona, one of the main characters from =Nicc593 's comic, Random Encounter.

=Nicc593 and i both share a love of retro zip tops, so i made a weird retro outfit for Mona... and topped it off with tube socks and Jimmy Choo lookin' shoes (which is my favourite part of the whole ensemble, haha). i'm picturing her in one of those trendy nightclub/cafe's that use grungy industrial themed interiors. i was going to have her in a retro themed nightclub but the patterns were getting too much, haha.

this might even be going in =Nicc593 's Random Encounter trade paper back when it comes out, either that or the revised version of the .mica. picture.

technical info:a 4B pencil sketch (i used the wrong pencil but couldn't switch half way thru >_< ) that i CG'd in adobe photoshop CS2. i used a few textures from mayang's free texture library, and some from my own personal library. the pose is inspired by something i saw in a japanese fashion magazine.

moonstruckdragonlass [2006-02-08 15:20:22 +0000 UTC]

sweet! i love it, but in my opinion it kinda looks like she's in a bathroom..... i think it's the tile. but i love her shirt! but not her shoes... i dunno i have no fashion sense what so ever so maybe it's just me.


it's cute how you guys have matching icons... sry random thought....

The perspective on this fascinates as me, as well as the stylistic anatomy. The positioning of her legs is really interesting, and I'm impressed by the dirty look of the wall tile. :') It's a visually intriguing piece, yay. <3

This is hot. I really love her face for some reason. And all the textures are fun for the eye.

guava In reply to madeline-marie [2006-02-08 04:44:54 +0000 UTC]

her face was bugging me, but i'd draw it too small to really get in there and fix it. nicc liked it though, so i kept it.
and yeah, you know me and my textures :B

I like the textures you've been using. It's refreshing - not from your old stuff, I mean - but from other stuff that pops into my inbox.

Since you're going retro, how about some more red and yellow (for that psychedelic look)?

missyC [2006-02-04 10:11:50 +0000 UTC]

You're really into orange at the moment! You make it look repeatedly sexy, along with the fact that it's a lady with nice, substantial sized feet Most people back away from that, and draw tiny droplets of feet. I strangely really love her outfit because im not an orange person, but the colours go so surprisingly well with each other and her hair~
You have absolutely pinned down your new style; you're really workin' those textures! Which makes me more than a little jealous actually, haha.
And of course I love the background; the colours are super- complete retro feeling!

wasserfee [2006-02-04 08:13:19 +0000 UTC]

Sweet!!! Im so diggin her shoes ^_^ so cute and pointy! And shes daring to be wearing socks with them ^_^
I love all the texture and pattern on the walls and floor. Particularly on the yellow tile to the left.
Nice perspective on the leg too

just out of curiousity, where is she? it kind of looks like she's sitting on the edge of a bathtub, but not really...

for some odd reason her lips fascinate me, along with her knees...

now that i'm done being completely weird, i'll just toddle off.

like it says in the description "i'm picturing her in one of those trendy nightclub/cafe's that use grungy industrial themed interiors." she's just sitting on a seat that has been built into the wall.
