Description Sketch commission for of her fursona, Jenir.
She gave me a few references to base the dress off of, one for the corset and the other for the bottom of the dress. She wanted a Victorian-type dress and I added the fan to go with the theme.
At first I was just going to do faint shading but as I progressed, I really liked how her dress and form were coming to life from the paper. I added darker shadows. I really enjoyed doing the lace and fine details. I was going to leave the background rather empty....but added some texture with my markers. This gives off that antique feel to me and I like it. ^^ *rubs hands* whew...

Est. 4.5 hours

Very well done with all the blending of the pencil strokes. Did it really take over four hours?

Wow. This is beautiful. I love the dress especially. Must've been a b*tch to draw though. Definitely worth the effort.

^_^ Good job on this! I believe you've earned a +fav.

Oh...the shading...
I only think the nose is funny, maybe it should be at the middle of the mouth...

There is some considerable amount of fine detail in her dress there, particularly with her corset and fan as the floral design of the said articles is absolutely outstanding to the eye. Iā€™m very impressed by how well you portrayed the design, but I also felt you did well on the other parts of her dress as well, such as the folds of the top cloth portion of her dress, the frilly portion underneath, and the trim of the gloves as well.

That was really well done Alicia, and great work on the pose as well, as it seems fitting for a elegant lady in Victorian dress. Awesome work there.

Wow.. I'm amazed. When I saw the sketch, I assumed that that was it, really.. I wasn't expecting this level of detail. I guess I got lucky, lol. I think you did an absolutely fantastic job. I love the way the dress and corset came out. The fan makes a lovely addition with the matching print.

What I also love is her expression - how vain she looks. The background is nice, actually. It doesn't take away from the details of the character, but it's not overly simplistic.

You did a great job on her hair. I think it's just another part that really makes this picture what it is. I was swept away by this image. I can't thank you enough, Guyver. Really! Thank you so much. ^_^

^_____^ I couldn't just leave it the way it was. I really enjoyed doing the details for Jenir. Anything for you

I'm not sure if you want me to mail this to you or wait until Chris and I can meet up with you and Mike. I'm not sure when that would be, heh. I'll need your shipping address via note.

Chibi-Mika In reply to guyver47 [2006-11-18 07:33:26 +0000 UTC]

Aww. ^_^ Thanks! That's really sweet of you!

We can wait until we meet up, if you'd prefer. It will prevent the cost of shipping it, and prevent it from possibly getting damaged. If you'd like to meet up, talk with Mike about it. We have a break from college coming up in December, so we can probably do some long distance driving/travel then.

Um, pardon me, but I'm not sure where you're getting the "vain" part. She looks alluring, yes, but I'm not sensing any vainness.

Eh, guess we just see the same pic differently. Either way, she looks beautiful. ^_^ He did a great job, didn't he?

Chibi-Mika In reply to BanditRingtail3 [2006-10-27 00:31:56 +0000 UTC]

lol.. Her expression, in my opinion, looks snooty. She looks rather full of herself, as though she were convinced of her own superiority. But that's what art is all about, different interpretations. To me, it's as though she's looking down her nose, which I've always taken a sign of vainity.

Yes, Guyver (she, actually) did a wonderful job on Jenir.

I always get confused on artist genders. Thanks for setting me straight.

And yeah, she did do a good job. Should add her to the list of artists I'd like to commission...

Chibi-Mika In reply to BanditRingtail3 [2006-11-18 07:27:50 +0000 UTC]

lol.. no problem.

Yes she did. This was actually the piece I commissioned from her. She's a pleasure to work with. You should commission her if she ends up getting some room on her list.
