Description Nestly: This kinda came outa' nowhere. >.o; Sketch I started in Artgrounds that I linearted, colored, and then liked enough to stick in a purdy background. I know I went font crazy, I know she's too SHORT, I know the tree looks like an overgrown shrub, but I don't care. :B Though feel free to give suggestions if you can tell me a good way to fix somethin'. ^~^ Might go back and fix some things I crapped up on.

Been workin' on Haruka's story. Most know that she conceals her wings with that scarf, but they're a lotta' things I haven't revealed yet. This scene has multiple meanings in different ways. I'll let you people figure them out. Ha ha. X3

Yeah I know, I kinda went overboard with this picture. Been roleplaying Haruka a lot lately... ;-; MYEH!

Sin would also like to share to you that Haruka is flippin' OBLIVIOUS. XD
Either that or overly denying everything. =B Sorry Keru!

Programs: Sketch down in Artgrounds Sketcher.
Lineart, coloring, background, font etc. done all on Open Canvas 3.
(No fancy photoshop brushes, did that grass myself. @w@)

Edit: 5-27: Kay. Took peoples opinions, and I fixed stuff up.
Namely her eyes look better. Aslo added some more detail with the grass, trees, and glow around her wings.
Thanks for your help! ^^

Ooh! You should make this her petpage background. ^^ This is very good, Nestly. I like it. She just looks so lost and alone, and afraid. Like she has no one. Of course, I haven't read her petpage for a looooong time, so I know pretty much nothing about her. XB

Me a draik fan. I shall get one someday! *shakes fist*

Nestly In reply to Arytha [2006-05-27 05:45:52 +0000 UTC]

Nestly: Awwwww.. n_n; she does feel like that sometimes.. even though she knows people care about her still. She keeps everything to herself.
And don't bother.. XD There's nothing on her page anyways. ...I really should work on that.. ._.;
Yay! <3 Draiks are my top 3 favorite neopets. <3 Course I only have the one because they're so flippin' expensive. XD

It's still pretty though. I like it a lot~ Though it feels like poetry. :3

Your welcome. But usually, it's hard to read through a lot of the post if it's really long. @-@

I know, but I just thought there were a lot this time. I'm off to work on another drawing. -feels ashamed- I haven't really worked on anything but profiles in a long time. ;-; My drawing skills may get very rusty. ;-; Wait, they have been rusty. XD

Ahahhaa, XD Not for me. Sometimes I get overwhelmed though and leave the post for a while until I make myself get to it. XD If I start typin' a response I can do it, it's just getting around to it. >3
Naaa, not really. n_n; For the effort I put into this drawing, I really expected more comments/views/favs whatever. n_n; But whatcha' gonna do?
well get to it then girl! XD Gotta keep in shape! 83

q-q I never find it easy to read long posts. Sometimes, I might daze off when trying to read it. DX

Aw, well, you can think of it this way, your art is so good and it gets a lot of comments. :3 Some people, even if they work their butts off, they may not get too many comments because others may not think of it as good. D:

Yah, I got to get drawing again. >> XD

Aww. ;-; Sorry to hear that.

I don't fav. anymore because... of laziness. XD I don't need to prove I like something by faving it, I can prove it by loving it. :3

I've got to start drawing more. I'm just sitting on my duff watching the computer moniter, expecting something to happen. D:

Nestly: It's fine. XD You know how people are.
And haha, well then do what I do. XD I rarely fav. Only when someone has drawn something for me I like enough, or if I just plain love a certain picture, and only after I've given a long comment. Recently I've only been faving things of people I know, and if it deserves ze fav. xD
Well then get off that duff and do somethin' silly! >XD You'll feel accomplished! <:3

Jeebus cracklersDklJK! O__O
This is NOT the type of picture I expected- omg Nestly..
Awwww... ;__; This was worth it- I'm glad I had left in time for you to finish. <:3

So this is it! It's very very nice! n__n Haruka always reminded me of May in a similar way with the skin and ears- but somehow in this picture her apperence looked alot different. I like it alot- my friend Katie right next to me just was complimenting about the wings, and Brendon was like: Woah what is that? o.O;
Me: Tis HARUKA! D8<

And its a good thing that you did another one of the .: :. pictures- it's about time that people started to see something besides the KOI. >:K!
I am now inspiried to do something that has to do with drawing Trees- ..ki!. ^o^ I am VERY proud of your INDIVIDUAL STRANDS OF GRASS. D:<
Well deserved for the effort- nice work, I think I'll work on my group pictures now.

Nestly: Ohhh, thanks so much Minty! n__n; I'm glad you really like it that much. :3
And really? XD I told you I was gonna make it a .: :. picture. What else didja' expect? ;3
And awww.. thanks for that.. n-n; I felt really bad though when it took a while and you had to leave.
Really? o.o Actually yeah.. her skin color is the same shade about. XD May's might be a bit lighter.. but yeah they're both pretty shy.. o-o; I never realized how alike they are! XDD
*laughs* yay! XD
Yeah I know... n_n; The only .: :. pictures I've done before are with Din, Ephidell/Mhirou, and Ray/May. XD (background purdy pictures) So I'll stick this one up in featured soon as I finish Krystal. :3
Inspired to draw TREES? XDD *laughs* Nice.. that tree is retarded though. >D
GRASS was a PAIN in the ASS. Nyeh!
Ohh, thanks for the fav Minty. <3 Group pictures? =3

*as soon as she saw the title she knew it was a Haruka pic ....
HOLY CRAP, NESTLY. O_O I LOVE THIS PCTURE. I dun see nuthin' wrong w/ it. Infact, it all looks amazing to me. The shadning is awesome, and I love her uber shiny hair.
I REALLY like that glowish-sparklish effect her wings give off. I mean REALLY love it. And her wings in general look splendifferous.
It looks really neat, all those different fonts.
The pale colour of the grass compliments the rich brown tree colour. That just sounded like some art teacher. xD But it does. And it looks cool how the grass sort ofish blends in with the tree trunk.
Overly denying everything. Haha... Oh, poor Keru. xD

Sprakles are splendifferous. xD HAR HAR.
