Description This character is an anime representation of myself, or you could say it’s a self-portrait in an anime way I haven’t decided her name yet, but it will most probably be Crysenna lol yesh my current screen name I'm going to use her as my Deviant ID in the future.

I don't exactly know how the idea of the outfit came about. I wanted her outfit to be fairy-like; to be somewhat soft, flowing and appealing. So the design I created emphasized different layers and colors of see-through sort of cloth/material. And the colors I chose this time are more towards a cooler palette. I love purple, so her hair and eyes are purple for this obvious reason.

Then the idea of the small flowers and flow-like ribbons came constantly. The flowers started from her hair. I somehow began adding more all over unconsciously But the ribbons are intentionally there XDD It definitely added alittle more detail to this piece, which reminded me of The Gift of Love XDD


The only worry that I had during the process of inking and coloring was the background.

I wasn’t sure how the background was going to be at first. But then yellow and orange hues were my final choices for textures. Orange is not an easy color to work with(for me) I hope I chose the right color for the background that brought out a nice distinction to my character but still it not too bold and prominent.

The whole composition is to give an enchanting and dreamlike feel, kinda like floating in a dream most atmosphere. Some details are somewhat lost through the scanning process as usual, so those tiny little flowers (maybe daisies?) scattered everywhere are not very apparent in the preview.

I can’t remember how long this piece took me, but a full view is necessary to fully appreciate my hours of painstaking efforts.

Also lots of s and to those who comment and fave this piece

Another masterpiece! just wow
ahaha..i still dont know how you did it..the colours like melt into your drawing..so smooth...
no matter how many time practice i still cant achieve that smooth blending..everything would come out grainy...sigh
like always so that i can droll some more XD

Crysenna In reply to syaiz [2005-09-08 14:40:32 +0000 UTC]

heheheee...you can reduce the graniness of the texture by smudging it with tissue paper; works all da time for me but sometimes it can be alittle time consuming
Thanks for the wonderful comment and fave as always; you're one of my favourite fans Luv ya so much

syaiz In reply to Crysenna [2005-09-09 18:21:18 +0000 UTC]

As always, the color and detail are fabulous. Tedious work, it is, but you make it look so nice despite the fact. I love the almost watercolor look it has thanks to your wonderful blending skills. An excellent piece!
