Description This is the original character Una who belongs to

When I saw her design I felt that this was a character I would have a hard time making justice (well, that is always a problem when one draws characters who does no belong to oneself - after all, one is trying to capture and make a worthy interpretation of an intention/a feeling/an image that someone else tries to express through the same character). In this case, I felt like this because of a very pitiful reason. Details and I do just not go together. The pattern on Una's skirt, for example, are mostly spontaneous and I considered ignoring them altogether. There are a few bigger problems that I worry more about, like the hands (as usual), the stiff leg and I swear that the feet looked okay until I tried my hand at those shoes. But when I had got this far I could barely touch the work without smudging it out. Even when I was paying close attention to where I put my hand it felt as if I was walking a tightrope. If I fall it's over and I'll have to climb back up and start over.

I am not sure if it is appropriate to put that fairy in there as, of what I have understood, Una used to be a Great Fairy of Twilight but is no longer? I really liked it though, which makes it rather strange that I did not draw the beautiful designs on it - but one can simply have a look at 's art instead

Well, here she is, and I hope that my laziness can be excused If not, or if it is too big of a disappointment with all the things I decided not to fix - or if the whole concept is just insultingly bad - I will be happy to make a second try. Don't hesitate to tell me, VanEvil.

Ahh~ I recognized your lovely style right away when I saw the thumbnail for this. You made Una look gorgeous!

I mean, she's a beautiful character anyway. But in your style she just looks super lovely! Her face and pose are really nice, and those folds make me faint they're so well done!

Thank you. When I looked at art of Una I thought to myself that there is no way I can draw those clothes In the end I did cheat a little but I am very happy to hear that they might still pass.

Spelarminlind In reply to Mikhal-Strange [2011-02-12 20:21:59 +0000 UTC]

Well... How to say this? Basically, I lack the skill. Even if I were to only make a sketch I would not be able to draw the character in a way that makes it unique. The only way I can make a face look different from another is to change my style completely. Add that I am quite lazy, take an awful long time even with the simplest task, often make rough works, avoid details, cheat whenever I can (hide things or draw so many lines that the mistake is partly concealed) and do not mind hideous anatomy or uninspiring poses that do not even hint that a scene is going on.

Spelarminlind In reply to VanEvil [2011-02-11 17:51:31 +0000 UTC]

As long as you like it that is good enough for me I was very unsure about drawing her in profile rather than having her look straight out of the picture. In contrast, the second I saw that there were no ears showing I knew exactly how I wanted to draw the hair - and I love to draw long flowing hair so Una was a very nice character to draw in that sense. I am so glad you like it! I was quite anxious you would not. Thank you!

I am happy I got away with the fairy too.

And you are very welcome.
