Description A birthday present for a lolita friend of mine! Her party is on Saturday, and I'm really excited; we're going to a fancy hotel for tea *A* which I've never done before. I'm like, ironing out my outfit as we speak ... *nerd nerd*.

Anyhow, I don't know if you can tell from the smaller version of this picture but it TOOK ME FOREVER, and now I'm depressed that my canvas size is only half the size of a piece of paper (5.5 x 8.5) *A* I need to teach myself to draw on larger canvases, if I ever want to put things in a gallery and NOT stick to making postcards ... *cry*.

This is my new style, folks! I hope you like it ♥ It's been a while in the making but this is the style I'm going to be following along from this point onwards : ) It allows me to be a lot more creative since I don't have to color in the lines, but I've still got the 'safety net' of drawing a sort of sketchy linework to help me out.

While this is a birthday present it's also sort of a thank you/tribute to my idols, Sakizou (from my journal) and ProdigyBombay. I've been snagging bits and pieces of their style for a while now, and I think this piece shows it pretty blatantly XD; I hope to develop something my own from this! : >

Fabulous! I love the soft colouring and the eyes! However, the hips seem far, far too low, anatomy-wise. It doesn't detract from the picture however.

She is so amazing *_* How beautiful. You've totally outdone yourself, patternfatcory!

I adore her outfit so much, it is so detailed and stylish. I think her stockings are my favourite part. And I really love the old fashioned look- the arygle background looks great.

Senshomaru [2009-10-17 07:20:40 +0000 UTC]

That Back Ground is really beautiful, I love to use that as stationary.

The Hair is really well done! They look like waves rolling of her head.

I love the shading you did for the knees and under her bust, it makes more levels in your work.

The Hat and dress match perfectly, colour wise and that really pretty chain. ( looks more like a locket)

The luminosity of the eyes is just right giving off the reflection of Happiness, ( as if she loved what she wore, and any one couldn't possibly hate it)

I also really like the flush colours you have been using for the elbows and face. it works really well and your putting dabs of it in the right places. Its not too much either so it doesn't take away from the picture but only adds on a more human-ish level

You're getting better every single day~

I am loving your new style! The eyes and the hair is more intense and I love it. I liked your old style because of a) the beautiful creative lolita clothing and b) because of the cute poses you drew. I am glad to see that aspect of you has remained.
I hope the birthday goes well! I am so jealous!(I am a vancouverite :3) I have yet to have gone to an official lolita gathering. *emberassed*
I wonder, will you be selling these at AE this year? I must get new ones to add to my collection on my wall!

patternfactory In reply to Cidien [2009-10-15 19:52:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I hope to build on what I learned before but take it in a new direction, so I'm glad you're still seeing the things you liked in this newer style : )

Haha, it's not really a community meet, it's more a smaller personal birthday party for Kimmy, haha : > but you should come to one of our meets! I hope to host one in early november. ♥

I'll be selling at AE this year for sure, but I'm going to be doing fan-art only for this year. My lolita artwork really didn't sell very well. If you'd like a copy of anything you see on my DA you can ask me closer to the convention and I can print them for you personally : >

Cidien In reply to patternfactory [2009-10-16 15:57:07 +0000 UTC]

Cool! I definantly would be interested. I am sure i'll see it if you post it on EGL or w/e

As for your art, I am glad to see your evoloving in your style. Keep it up

You know, you could be even a mode stylist, her
dress is really very nice and her face very pretty.
The pastell colours very nice as well.
