Description For the Honor of Grayskull!

She-Ra was one of my favourite characters as a child. I can still remember the afternoon at my old house eating chocolate cookies and watching her adventures.

They're showing the episodes again in some channel here in Argentina and my younger sister (she was too little when She-Ra was on) saw them and asked me if I was ever going to picture She-Ra. So here she is.

I tried to stick to the original design for her outfit. Which led me to the following question: how exactly is the cape attached to her???

I drew her in a nĀ°6 drawing paper, scanned in parts and joined them with GIMP. Then traced the lineart (last time I ever do that... turned out horribly) and painted with GIMP.

Unfortunately my tablet seems to be defunct, which made it impossible for me to draw a decent background, so I threw two fractals: GIMP's Nebula (the blue one) and a custom Man-o-war one (yeah, I chose it for the name).

^^ I think the cape was attached to the back of the necklace...(at least that's how it was with the doll I used to have ^^ )

Hey!! Great to have you back. It would be awesome to have a gallery with 80s characters. I'll keep my eyes open.

Ahhh the 80s... big hair... guys in tight leather pants...

Wow your coloring is improving big time!

Also the sparkelies around the sword and the background are pretty sweet as well!

Thanx a lot!!! The sparks are actually the GIMP's sparks pencil I'm a big fan of it...

Unfortunately my tablet has died, so it will be a while until I CG-colour again....

Well you could always do some painting or marker-ing.

Yeah, I'll do some of that (though I suck at marker-ing...)
