Description
Normally, this is where I'd post something Shangri-La-related (being Tuesday and all) but I'm simply not ready for it today. So, we're going to take a week off this time around, but I'll be resuming character bios next Tuesday. Look forward to it.In the meantime, so I post something, I doodled this last night. It's been close to a month since I last drew anything seriously, so I just wanted to test myself and draw something inconsequential, rather important things (like character bios or comic pages). So I made up a character to draw. She's not from Rain. She's not from Shangri-La. She's not from Impure. She's just... someone I drew on a whim. Whether or not you ever see her again, I can't say, but I do hope you like her.
On an odd, mostly irrelevant note, this is the first piece I've drawn with my new DA name, so it kinda feels like a first step. To "what", I don't know, it's just supposed to sound deep and thought-provoking or something. ^_^

Very cute, I love the character design and outfit :3

She appears surprised.

She suddenly realized she was on several hundred people's computer screens being stared at.
I'd be pretty surprised too, honestly.

Wow, she looks really nice! I especially like the contrast between her hair, her skin and her eyes.

Very nice! I like the character and outfit designs.
And congratulations on your first piece with your new username! I don't know if it's a first step, though - you've been walking for quite a while, so maybe changing your username is like changing into a new pair of shoes? Either way, I hope they're comfy, and take you for miles to come!

You sure that she's not from the world of Idle Herald (perhaps subconsciously)? Those marks on her face are awfully similar to the ones on Priss .

Perhaps subconsciously. I use tattoos/face paint/scars pretty frequently actually ([link] [link] [link] [link] [link] ). In an effort to usually keep the designs somewhat simple, it doesn't surprise me that it looks so similar (and it does), even if it was unintentional. The major difference is that this girl only has the mark on one side, whereas Priss is much more symmetrical.

Well, having a symbol on one side clearly indicates that she's a secondary character, whereas Priss is a primary one. It's like earning your stripes in the military.

Ooh, interesting thing to notice! Perhaps the character came to Jocelyn in a dream... which would actually fit with how the world of Idle Herald is set up! Even if she wasn't from that world, perhaps Jocelyn could appropriate her to it, if Idle Herald ever gets off the ground (which I hope it does!).

I'm fairly intrigued by the concept of Idle Herald as well. Hopefully this picture was that world clawing its way out of her unconscious in the hopes that JCD will turn her attention to it after wrapping up Rain.

...She single *3*...? Oh wait I'm Doomdragon, MARTIAL STATUS NEVER STOPS ME
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
...Then again the barrier between real life and fiction has... Oh wait, NO IT HASN'T
and as to how is a well kept ancient secret

interesting, maybe you could make her a background character in something

I don't mean this to sound like I'm trying to make fun of you or anything...
..but you do know that the scene from Citizen Kane where that clapping animation is from is supposed to be ironic, right? It's where Charles Kane hass just thrown away a tremendous amount of money building an opera theater for a mistress who, frankly, stinks on ice, and he's just realized what a tremendous waste it all when when literally no-one else was clapping after her performance, so he applauds by himself just so SOMEONE is, even though he's burning up with humiliation.
It's one of the archetypical "slow irony claps"

In all fairness, you will probably need to relay this message to everyone who uses that icon, because if that's the origin (I never knew that; I've never seen Citizen Kane), then I don't think it's ever actually been used appropriately (and I think this is the most commonly used PLZ account icon there is too)...

...better...? o.O
What am I talking about. it's got a cute little bunny. Of course it's better.

Adorable! ^_^
I am wondering if that tatoo beneath the eye means anything, though. It looks important! O_O
