Description Loooookout! It's a magical girl!! Complete with magic wand and silly magical girl pose! xD

I was going through my folders a while back and noticed this. It looked so sad, this incomplete magical girl. ;_; So I went ahead and finished it. ^^
Actually pretty happy with the way it turned out. The background is really pretty, but maybe I went a little to brush crazy? xD Hmmmm...!

Backstory time!!:
So this is Peridot, who is always being called Dot (Such an old lady name!!). Dot was born with silver hair, and ever since she was a little girl, she's been made fun of, being called an old lady. Now older, she has absolutely no confidence. What she soon realises though is that her silver hair was because she was touched by a fairy, who imbued her with magic powers! And her power is the power to give confidence to others, because that's the only way to destroy our personal demons. Shame she can't use it on herself. xD

Her hair's supposed to be more silvery, but I shaded it pinky purple so I'd blend in with the background more. C:

Either way.

Gotta love those fuzzy boots. XD

WHOA!!! OAO;

For an older pic this is pretty great! You really have a knack for color co-ordinations (which I definitely don't, but Guky'll teach me! >3<; )! XD The lineart looks awesome too, movements are considered, clothes are well rendered too, and I'm liking the background! Great job, dude!!!

Now to learn colors... TAT Man I suck!!! XD

Really!? xD Oh gee, thank you!! I'm really happy to hear that! And I just really love the colour green, and pairing it up with other colours is a lot of fun! XD If you want to make your colouring look more impressive, colour it as you usually would, and then put a gradient on top and lower the opacity. It's pretty simple, but it's a pretty cool effect!! xD

Thank you so much!! I appreciate it! <3333

Your colouring, it's so great. What program did you use, and how long have you been using it?

Snow-the-Wanderer In reply to shaunC [2010-05-27 14:49:14 +0000 UTC]

Oh thank you so much! I use Photoshop, and it's pretty much the only thing I've ever used. I do however, look at lots of different colouring tutorials all the time, so it might be that. C:

Hahaha~ I don't think you went too far! It looks very shiney and magical girl-befitting! I like all the fairylights. So pretty. *__*

Snooow. I absolutely love your coloring as always. And the detailing on this is really great! You can really see the fringe and the fluff and the fuzzy boots! It's great!

LOLOLOL! That poor girl! I think Dot is an adorable name! And I like silvery hair~ Always have! No shame in having silver hair, dot! No shame!!

Oooh, thank you Mercari! Actually though I'm getting so jealous of other people's colouring I feel like I'm not doing it good enough and have to keep improving! Work work work!! And YES!!
Love those fuzzy boots.

Dot the old lady-girl.
Poor old Dot. And everyone knows that silver hair is only for villains or old people!!
