Description Ok, Nicky, time to set Krampus on me. This is a whole month late .-.

Anyway, I got SailorAlcyone 's M70 for nickyflamingo 's Autumn Exchange this year. To be honest, all three options were daunting, I didn't feel like I could do any of them justice, not to mention, I have the most horrible time trying to find or think up original poses (if anyone has tips on that, please give me some ;w; ). For this being the first watercolour I've done since January (no, seriously, SS: Sailor Asclepios  is the last watercolour I did), I'm pretty proud of this. Of course, not touching my watercolours in almost a year means that I made a few mistakes, hopefully you can't see them >_> Maybe now that it's holidays, I'll get to play with them more :>

I pretty much covered the whole thing in glitter too, which you can see here

I hope you like it, and sorry about the horrible lateness ;v;

Thanks <3 It'll be interesting to see how I can grow from this though, it's super old now XD

And I guess they can be if you don't know how to use them, or use too much water. I always use just a bit too much water XD

I love watercolors but I often have no patience.
I mostly use less water

She looks gorgeous!  I love how her hair flows and surrounds her and the little curls spiralling off from it.  The pose and expression are lovely too--so peaceful and kind.

Thank you, K! That hair was fun to sketch, lots of swirls and a bit of scribble CX I'm glad I managed to get that feeling across too :3

YOU'REVERYWELCOME!! I'm really glad you like it! I'm still sorry it's so late. October was horrible, then November was kind of worse ;A; Plus, video games kind of happened XD

I'm glad I was able to communicate that feeling of warmth and calm through this, though

Well, she just exudes a calm serenity.

Serenity, that's it! She reminds me of Inara from Firefly. ^_^

UmbraScribbles In reply to LESimmons [2014-12-01 06:24:45 +0000 UTC]

Serene was pretty much what I was going for :3

Hmm, I suppose the way I've drawn her does make her look a bit like Inara :>
