Description
Monarch enjoys both tea and coffee, but tea is something she likes to drink when she is calm and coffee is something she drinks when she wants something to soothe her nerves. Yes, there is a difference.I've never attempted a full-body shot in this style, but I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm going to keep practicing on the shading. Skin shading is my favorite though |D
Monarch C me.
And fff, I forgot her bangles DX

Ah, that paintiness... It really looks exceptionally beautiful on her soft skin. And her lips look really nice.

ahhh lovely. Great job on her arms and hands and the shading on her face. only thing that seems off is that her neck seems a little too thick, at least for a girl. I always find it weird to see those tattoos..she just doesn't strike me as a tattoo person. XD

Thanks c: |D The face is my favourite part.
Hmm, I've had that pointed out by someone else, too. I think I might have built it up too much on the right hand side.
She isn't |D Those are Zryin's makers marks. She puts them on all her clones (except A.I. and Ex). On the inside of the forearm the arrows connect to two 'Z's.

I can see why.
Ahhh... DX So the original Monarch doesn't have any of those marks?... >> *so going to check her arm next time I see her*

It's a very beautiful picture, and you really do get a sense of clam and tea.
My only critique is that her neck looks a little thick going down into the body, but that might just be how the sweater bunches around it. And I want that tea cup!:3

Thank you c:
I'm not sure what might be causing that, but I'll bear it in mind next time.

the possibility of gettin invited by "them" to a tea time is largely possible

maybe that'll be your idea for the request thing

That is such a cute outfit! (I'm not biased I swear! XD) I do the same thing, tea is a fantastic 'quiet time' drink, especially if you're a little chilly... Something I frequently am. XD Coffee's a great 'calm down' drink, which is a little ironic of me, I guess. I think the caffeine and taste helps me transit from whatever I'm feeling to calm, and whatever little boost in energy I get I gear towards collecting myself to stay that way. I don't frequently drink it like some people, but it certainly does help me think and relax. Weird huh!? XD
You should be pleased! She looks great! I love how thoughtful and content she looks, and how it looks like she's got wings~ <3

I don't know where in that statement I would get a biased feel |D
I don't really drink tea much, but I find it nice on occaision. The taste tends to be a bit withdrawn for my liking. And not really, I do the same thing XD
Thank you so much C:
Eehee, her antennae were supposed to give her a little of that look, but sometimes I get too lazy drawing them.

This is beautiful! I love the teacup. <3
But her lips seem a bit too large...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD I don't draw teacups often XD
Ah, one of my worst habits >.>

Well, you're good at it! xD
I can't draw well-proportioned lips either.

Oh, this is so beautiful...
The colouring is lovely... I totally get why my sister is jealous. XD
Seriously, I just sat there with my head tilted looking into her eyes...
I really like this! Peaceful and calm...

She's jealous? I'M jealous of HER painting skills XDD
That's a cool reaction

Monarch looks like she's all ready for Sunday tea. I can already tell one of my favorite things about your style is how you draw eyes and lips. Especially in this style.
Love those lip rings.
Looking at the lips for a second more I can't help feel that maybe their a little big, unless Monarch just naturally has big lips.

And biscuits.
Why thank you, that is good because they are my two favourite areas to draw and colour XD
Hee~
She has a mildly big mouth, but yes, I do tend to over proportion the lips on a face, one of my many bad habits that I must get out of |D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's good then. You're welcome and you always draw Monarch's lip rings amazingly, they almost look real srsly. :I
It's almost a shame they have to be smaller because her lips just look so pretty in this style.
And why yeeees, .

I rather like the painting type of quality. It looks especially good in her face. I know that the more and more you do this, the better and more refined the details will get.
The colors and shading all seem close enough in tone to have an even, peaceful air about the picture. Fitting of the title. The way the beads on her head stand out draw the eye immediately, but then you move to her lip ring, then to the tea cup, which gives you a nice downward sweep to see her face.
I like the way you layered some of your shading. The only trouble spots being the area where her neck meets her shirt collar and her hanging sleeve on her left arm, but both can be fixed easily enough.
Good job. ^^ Looking forward to further uses of this style

I certainly hope so, though I do enjoy a certain looseness at times.
Ah, I am glad that peaceful tone is coming through! I tried to make sure hte whole picture contained that calming mood.
Ooh, yay, unintentional line of motion (it seems whenever I do something smart it is entirely subconscious |D)
Ah, yes. Shading clothing unfortunately I am finding more difficult than shading skin or metal. The texture of it and the way the light falls on it is completely different to either, and there are so many kinds of material too. I need to work on that |D
Thank you, I am looking forward to that too ;D

xD; Gotta love the unintentional stuff, eh?
practice, practice. as they say.
You're welcome!

She is beautiful. I find the lack of bangles adds a complimenting simplicity to it all, given the hushed colors on everything save for the cup. I greatly enjoy her outfit; I think the full-body works very well.
As a whole she appears almost angelic.
Sigh, again with the painting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you C: Unfortunately, though I am glad they make it more aesthetically pleasing, those bangles are an essential part of her character design |D She shouldn't be seen without them.
I didn't give the colours as much thought as I ought to, really. The red sections of the cup should be orange, now that I look at it.
It's good that you think that. She dances on a very fine line.
Unfortunately, I don't think I would be the best to give tips as this is really all a new experience for me ):

But of course. It was merely proposed in the proverbial 'silver lining' sense. I still believe it all came out well, even if you are spotting out things you should have changed. It seems a number of people agree. Ah, well.
I suppose.
