Description With not a lot of time to do bigger projects like I usually do, here's something simpler and quick. This is why for the classic IZ style too.

Same Irken from "Dreaming in Sound" though in a more formal looking outfit and playing a musical instrument that is a holographic harp-piano-like thing. The little dots on those "string" you can press or tap to produce sound, or run your hand across it like a harp, to which when touched it glows even brighter as well. So, something fun to play with and glowy!

...I want one now.

I had the idea for a while and wanted to do a more bigger picture of it... but didn't think I had the time. So here.

And yes, I know, a lot of purple. I like purple. Might make one less purple-ly...

no preoblem! ooh, that would be cool if you did one with like a violin or something...i dont know, just a random thought

I did draw a character with a violin ( [link] )
Though for this one, I have considered it, though like this sci-fi piano/harp like instrument, I would most likely design a violin like instrument to fit the sci-fi theme. Though currently that may have to wait since classes will be starting soon and I may not have much time to focus on too much else.

A couple yes, while others no. Though chances of people here seeing them are slim being that I'm in school and also I don't want to post everything onto this particular site.

The truth is relative depending on the person.
Seeing as you're getting back to drawing Irkens, and such. Best wishes to you.

The idea for this is crazy cool. A digital harp? Yes please! I feel as though you had a lot of fun with this, because I have fun looking at it Interesting to see a more IZ-style Irken from you! It's odd, but also still very pretty and I enjoy it just as much as I do your more realistic Irkens :3 That outfit, as usual, contains your style of grace and pretty and win. I love it all! I even want to point out that I enjoy the background blues and violet hues. You really are a girl after my own colorful heart <3

serenadefox In reply to Krimzonite [2012-04-21 22:24:51 +0000 UTC]

I really did XD As I told Kharn I am planning to try a full realism piece with this one since, well. I am happy with how it turned out but... it's not my usual.
Still, thank you over all :'D Glad you loooooooove it and your heart looooooves it tooo!

I love the concept of this instrument and the character looks lovely as well. Great job on those strings; how did you do it?? o3o

serenadefox In reply to Kintupsi [2012-04-01 21:23:55 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you
How I did the strings? I am not sure how to explain it well. In photoshop, there are brushes that fade depending on pressure. There is also the pen tool that allows you to make straight lines if needed, so using those together can create those lines.

Kintupsi In reply to serenadefox [2012-04-01 21:39:06 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome, and thanks for the impromptu how-to! I was just wondering if you drew them all by hand or if you used a brush, and now I know.

Looks like she's playing on a futuristic piano. Also, is that a treble clef in her antenna ? **

serenadefox In reply to CamimiZ [2012-04-01 14:13:04 +0000 UTC]

You are correct. And if you look carefully you can see I also tried to incorporate the bass clef as well.

serenadefox In reply to fangrim [2012-03-31 20:51:01 +0000 UTC]

For my standards it is
I normally post here lineless, anatomically correct, close to being realistic I can get with Irken figures, which take a while to do. For pictures with lines and some that are like this, the classic IZ style, then I can easily get done with those in a fraction of the time.
