I-Redeemer-I β€” I was hoping you'd show up.

Description "You look really good, by the way. I was hoping you'd show up. I'm, uh, glad you're here, to be totally honest," he remarked, his tone approaching that of a question, as though he didn't quite know if he was being appropriate with something so personal.

Her eyes flitted to the floor and back to him, an awkward smile peeping on her face. It had crossed her mind whether anyone would say anything about her change in appearance or not, given how she usually presented herself, but this wasn't what she had imagined. She felt her cheeks and ears flush, and hoped it was only a little, but the tell-tale warmth was there. It was most likely obvious. She attempted a response.

"Oh uh, really? I'm not really trying to- I mean, I'm also-," she cleared her throat, using that snippet of time to mentally kick herself. She subconsciously brought her hands in front of her, and lightly toyed with her fingernails. Anju had always accused her of fidgeting when nervous. She tried again.

"Thanks... I'm glad as well... and I thought I should make the effort given the nature of tonight's events. If we're going to boost morale, we may as well set a good example, right?"

"Right," he agreed, his trademark grin surfacing, "I'll try to do the same. I should uh, probably go now - but we can catch up later, yeah? Tell me what you think of the show."

"Sure. Good luck and have fun!"

"Thanks!" he waved as he left. She returned the gesture, then headed towards the rest of the crowd, the sound of the band tuning their instruments echoing through the hall. She had never felt so stupid.

^ Stupid snippet of a scene in my story thingy. Nothing like having a gig to make everyone feel better when stuff seems hopeless, right? Music's a pretty powerful thing.

This is a commission I purchased from , since my 25th birthday is approaching and I wanted to treat myself a little. He drew the lineart, and gave me permission to colour it as I wished. Working with this artist was simply amazing, he was so professional and friendly, I would recommend him to everyone. And I hope to purchase from him again in the future. Thank you so much!

omg I can't believe I missed this ! I remember you mentioned you commissioned art for Freya and I was like impatiently waiting to see how it would turn out. Can't believe it has been poster like almost 3 weeks ago and I didn't see it oO Anyways, very cool ! I love the dress, the little details on the bottom plus the fact that it's asymmetrical. And those shoes, I want the same ones Β 

Very very cute !

I-Redeemer-I In reply to Maz-Zeldette [2014-04-14 16:27:54 +0000 UTC]

Hahahaha no worries! At least you've seen it now! xD

Thank you! I designed the dress and shoes myself, the shoes inspired by a vintage type of boot that I've always liked.

As you can see, her arm fins aren't here because I really need to draw them first. I can't just tell an artist how to draw them because they're hard to describe and it's just too much work. xD I'd be kinder to provide a reference. XDDD

Yeah kinda like these :Β www.google.fr/search?q=chaussu… right ?

I noticed for the fins ! But I didn't know if it was on purpose or not, I didn't want to ask because I didn't want to make a mistake lol.Β

Yeah! You know, I had a lovely pair of brown boots like those, and my friend borrowed them. She stopped talking to me because one of our mutual friends, who was also my flatmate at the time, caused a lot of bullshit drama. Then she moved away and took them with her! Lame. :/

And yeah! But the fins aren't hard to imagine. Imagine this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…

but smaller and coming from her wrists.

Oh my ! I can't believe she took your shoes ! That's clearly unacceptable.

Oh okay, I was imagining in my head something like this :Β upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… but the shark shaped one is cool

I-Redeemer-I In reply to Maz-Zeldette [2014-04-22 12:19:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, she took those shoes and a pair of boots too... my dream boots. Never found a pair like them since.

It's very like that! But just the shape is a little different. That's a really good reference picture though, thanks! xD

Can't you message her or something to get them back ? Quite a delicate situation :/Β

I-Redeemer-I In reply to Maz-Zeldette [2014-04-22 14:39:19 +0000 UTC]

We haven't talked in years, I bet she either wore them until they broke or just threw them away. Too bad, but I guess live and learn! xD

It's like money problems... Once I lend money to a friend who needed it... Took me several months to get it back (it was a few hundreds euros). It seems so impolite to ask your money/stuff back. But in the end, it's just the other person being rude.Β

For some reason, what my eye is drawn to the most in this picture, are the shoes. Those are some gooooood looking shoes. The shirt as also extremely cute!

Aww thanks! The reference I sent to the artist were just black shoes but I redesigned the colours and pattern... So glad you like them! ^^
