Description Fullview Pleeze

Even though it should be catagorized under "fantasy", this is actually fanart based from the lovely Elemental Goddesses series by *Keysha-chan , so if any of you start chiming in what a great character I've made, I'd like to introduce you to a certain furry little friend of mine with an infatuation for catnip and chewing on fingers

The pose itself, sans pink cloth, simply popped up during our drawing exercises in Marshall Vandruff's Draftsmanship crash course, and I knew that I had to use it for something. Can't for the life of me know why I did Kowahi, even though it fits her so well y'know? Bein' a wind goddess an' all, and her 'skimpy' outfit makes her look like a dancer -- she's so beautiful, I tell yas And I have a fetish for braids -- so sue me

However, I wished I've done some preliminary colors first before slapping it on together like this (my sister suggested the pink scarf thing like that, but I wanted to either use purple to go with the yellow, or some other two colors that would go well with it... can't remember which, tho' ). I'm getting better with the rim shadows with the prismacolor pencils, I believe; it made my mom drop her jaw, anyway

Hope you like it, Kai. This is thanks for all you've done for me recently and all. Sorry it took so long to post it, but I wanted to wait until it was officially over for the class quarter before I celebrate a victory dance

Update: Rescanned and resubmitted the image, because for some cryptic reason, DA refused to download the full image, even on my end

Eeks! Oh hon, she's just LOVELY! Very yellow, very sexy, very Kowahi! I did actually see her the other night, but was really too tired to write anything then. ^_^ As bad as it sounds, I'm reeeaalllyyy attracted to the waist down...her hips are so curvy and the silk material swaying around her hips just...wowzers! X3 I am seriously digging the feet, just the general shape and detail that's gone into them and the actual look of skin around the bone and how they're supporting weight.

You've even gone and done all the detail in the hair! (something I notice gets avoided by some. ) And her braids just...FLYING all over the place! The extra behind-the-head connected bead-earrings (never in the original design, but they seem to have stuck now. XD)

The rim shadowing on her skin turned out beautiful! I'm still just amazed and...whoo! Yes, your mother wasn't the only one suffering from a loose jaw. The pink for the scarf makes a lovely touch, considering how yellow she is in general (eh...my bad. X_x ). Yay! All the wraps around her limbs are so...detailed. XD I love eet!

Thank you so much, Mira! Makes my day SO much to see fanart of any of the girls!

I seriously should show this to Marshall when I get the chance if your reaction to the anatomy alone is this impressive *slow* Yes, yes! I LOVED doing her feet and curves -- it's so... Bob Rafei-ish influenced!

As long as you reccognize(sp) that this is a character based on something that isn't mine, you can babble all you want I just get tired of certain credits being given out to the wrong people, that's all...

So be sure to look at *Keysha-chan 's stuff when you get the chance, 'kay? She's awesome!

She is just beautiful! You've caught her image just perfectly too--and you're right about em braids, holy they are pretty-pretty! ^^ She does look like a dancer, and you know me, Rumple-Chan--I have a fetish for dancers! ^^ Colour tones are just sweet, and I do love her sexy pose.

Hand and feet details =

Fav! ^^
