Description September 2, 2012.

Ballpoint pen, JASC Paint Shop Pro 7.

A sketch commission for of her 5 lady characters~!

I hope I did them justice! It's really hard to go back and fix anything that goes wrong when trying to freehand sketch with a pen! XD

I had references for all the ladies luckily (all their costumes are so involved!), except for Wynona, who is a rebel-tomboy-princess-pirate-monk.. So I had to kind of wing her costume and look. I hope she looks a little like all of those things!


Brief descriptions from Luxiosis herself in case you're interested:

Almira: A cold-blooded assassin that takes great pride in her skills. She's always serious, and hardly ever smiles except occasionally around Cyrus, who she has grown to have feelings for.

Wynona: A rebellious princess that is first introduced as a reckless pirate captain. She seems brash and abrasive but is in fact very observant and bright. She yearns for a life where she can roam and travel freely. She has a general dislike for men.

Sealiah: She's a sweet, kind, compassionate, and inwardly strong-willed person but a bit naive of the real world. She endeavors to learn more about life outside the royal court.

Alice: A noble girl who forsakes her title in search of adventure. Alice oftentimes proclaims that she is a lady of manners but can tend to act otherwise. She's lively and enthusiastic and not held down by anyone, doing whatever she wants.

Viola: A very skilled nomadic swordswoman. She is soft spoken and appears very calm. Viola is incredibly strong and outwardly kind but masks a deep sadness and loneliness.

Ho........this is super beautiful!! *__* All those details are great, man, as is the way you texture details and SHININESS~ How do you draw so precisely without uncertain lines going everywhere? XD

Thank you! XD
Yeah~! Shiny hair and metal hatching~! LOL

LOTS OF PRACTICE. But with a pen, I also very lightly draw out the frames for things too and then go over with darker lines. After correcting the brightness/contrast, most of the stray light lines disappear anyway, so only the dark intended lines show up! (you can kind of see the outline of Sealiah's right hop beneath her armor skirt for example).

I love the rough sketch style, and you do it so well! I think you did the characters justice, based on the description provided. I hope the creator thinks so too!

I am very used to it since I do it so much, but yeah, it's still a pain when you make a mistake. XD And if you are using the wrong pen.. (the one I used for this one was not very good.. I had to press so hard because the ink wasn't very flowy and my hand hurt so much by the end!)

This took me about.. hmm.. 3 hours, I think. About half an hour for each person? It would have been faster if my pen wasn't a huge butt. XD
