Description FULLVIEW, PLEASE. KTHX. XD It's very off-season indeed. Who really wears a winter hat with a bikini? Paluu does. :<

Yay, new artwork. ^^ This one's, well, random. XD I was in Target last weekish and I saw this cool hat and this bikini type thing so I edited the designs of those and used them for the pic. XD I decided to give her those funky black beaded bracelets and necklace because I love the way those look.

Doing black and white is really fun, actually! XD I've never really done it before, and this was quite enjoyable. I like the turnout. Don't ask about the martini and the apple... it was just some random idea. lol. I was soooo confused about a BG for this one... this has to be one of the most unique-ish pieces I've done actually. I like how her left hand turned out, but the right one sucks. x_x And I ran out of the lighter skin tone so I had to use a darker one to shade the purple in the skin and it looks like crap but everyone's insisting that it looks "realistic". Uggh... lol I don't think it does, but if you say so~ xDD I think the boa looks realistic imho. It took forever... I cant draw fur too good.

This took about a week to finish. While doing this, my dull lavender died. I loved that color. I need a good set of Copic grays. I use them way too often so all the ones I got for my 13th b-day last year died so quickly. And that was when I didn't know how to use them. What a waste... :\ I also need some really good skin tones. I like skin tones. YR00 is too dark for me. And I used flesh for the shading which is really tan/orange. Ick. The reason why the skin looks grey is because I desaturated it quite a bit. I shouldn't have done that. It looks like utter crap now. Ah well... the original is better though. :B Don't ask why, but after finishing this I kind of want my first real nude piece to be a topless Paluu. XD I use her in almost all my designs; this has to be my best Paluu drawing so far!

Heh, I'm tired. I can't come up with a better description. lol. Well, I'll see yas. Enjoy! (or try, please, try.)

MATERIALS USED: Copic Sketch markers, micron 01 black inking pen, Prismacolor white charcoal pencil, white calligraphy ink w/ pen nibs, done on bristol board. Touched up with PSP X.

EDIT: Heh, this is a really random edit, but... do you know who the kid in my avatar even is? Answer: She's Rosie, Paluu and Kashuu's 21/2 year old baby girl. XDD; I drew it a while back and made it pretty.

Very nice. Love the apple in the hand. Reminds me of snow white. Kinda evil and S and M, but she's sort confused looking. Fault in evil but very awesome idea.

Sweet Christmas, this is just gorgeously amazingly done. The marker work is really well-done--I've been loving the whole black-and-white thing as of late, so this piece really is up my alley. Plus, bikini + feather boa + sexy winter hat = hotness. The jewelry and beads in the background are a nice decorative touch for both her and the background, and the addition of the martini and the apple works nicely. Awesome job!

Very good pic, I really like the colouring and shading, and the background is great- not too much but still stylish. Clothes look great, I want the boots and I really like the design of the bikinitop, especially the double straps, and it's a nifty twist with the glass. It adds an air of high class style The only thing that bothered me with the pic was that her knee looks kinda soft, like she doesn't have a kneecap...

Heh, you're right... it was semi-inspired actually by some of the designs I saw at a Victoria's Secret when I went with my mom to one and they all had wings like that. XDD; Then again I have a wing fetish... I can't stop drawing wings. x_x I dunno how to stop either...

Hey, the outfit for the character is pretty excellent as well as the winter hat. I just think the outfit has to be the finer point of interest in this piece, excellent work!

And no snow in Michigan makes me one sad panda. D:
