I loved doing this seasonal piece of Dramira 's OC. She picked out a really awesome pose that captured the mood and subtle sexiness of Dramira inside and cozy on a cold snowy day. She also picked the color of the room, drapes and outfit as well as the design of the outfit....
we went with a more wholesome colorscheme all around to give it a vintage holiday illustration feeling. hope it worked!



Author's notes

What Dramira's Gift-Giving Holiday Is Like:

"This is celebrated in the city Dramira primarily lives in. It does not exist in Thainvraak (Lorrdyn's) territory. Dramira has explained it to Lorrdyn who sees the tradition as pointless.
It's similar to our X-mas but with no religious origin or religious theme. Long ago, a wealthy man spent the year's earnings giving gifts to poor children on a winter night and continued to each year on the same day. It inspired the holiday simply called Giving Day. People exchange gifts to show appreciation, love, friendship, and so on. To keep it as something we can relate to, similar decorations and colors are acceptable. To be Santa-esque, the giving man is described as an elderly toy-maker and wore a red winter coat and had a big white beard. But no, he won't break and enter through your chimney and then eat your cookies or anything."

Festive! My god you rock!

I so love Dramira's stockings! Keep her legs warm from the chill. Such design and stunning display. The reflection looks so real, one of your best works! "Baby it's cold outside" comes to mind!

The background really gives it a spirited feel and is so vibrant and cheerful. Nice to see, given Dramira's usual dark atmosphere. You never fail to make her drop dead gorgeous!

If I bombard you with ideas I blame it on you!

ooo thanks for the kind comment.

yes it was a nice change in page and intentional lightness to this one to attempt being wholesome - though suggested that she still wear a jewelry piece that is occult - so her pendant is the necromonicon symbol

I appreciate the encouragement and support and looking forward to bombardment

Very nicely done, as usual. The textures are great ad so is the way you worked the pose. The background and the way her face reflects on the window... Awesome eye for details

Stunning. I tend to say that a lot with your pieces, but it really is breath-taking. I second Mord's comment that there is warmth to this image of Dramira -- it looks almost cozy. More great work from you, SYoshiko!

I think I might like this one the most of your Dramira images because of the reflection and the general cosiness. And the scale I like that you show the whole window. The only problem for me is that her left shoe seems to float over the windowpane. Maybe some deforming of the cloth beneath it or some shadows would help. Just a minor detail.

youre right, when I brightented it some of the shadow under the shoe was lost.

Absolutly stunning does not do this peice of magnificent art any justice even the small details like the reflection are perfectly crafted. Very well done !!

Okay.
Where do I start? How?

This is exactly what I wanted. There is not a single flaw I can find on it.
This makes me so happy, excited, thrilled, pleased, I'm just beyond words.

You understood everything I wanted. The room, outfit, mood, scene, feeling. You have this thing where I try to describe fashion designs to you and I can struggle with it but you intuitively get exactly what I'm saying and you do it flawlessly.

It's her. This is without a doubt her, a living presence, her face, her features.

You brought Dramira to life for me and your style lets her look like the real person I see her as.

You did amazing with the colors, composition, textures, jewelry reflection in the window-- EVERYTHING.
I think this is the absolute best and most accurate picture of her.
I'm in awe of it.

This is so beautiful, so perfect, just everything I wanted for it. I never thought someone could draw her so perfectly. Thank you for it all. I could cry I'm so happy. There is no good enough word or expression to show you how appreciative and thankful I am.

Thank you, so much.
