Description This is a small gift I made for ClaretClarinets of her character Catalyst, who has a gorgeous design!
She is a water homunculus, and I had so much fun trying to figure out how to do the waves behind her. I just had no clue.

Claret has helped me a lot as an editor on Reign of Winter and I wanted to make something for her.

I hope you like it!

Thanks so much! I love smooth shaded art and I am trying to lean towards that ^—^

Her expression is so neat too! You sure are now one of my inspiration as a traditional artist!

Thanks so much! You have a good hand with facial expressions too! They show the personalities very well. To me, one of the biggest flaws of some artists is that, despite being technically awesome, they fail to capture any expressiveness on faces!

Oh do you really think of that? ~~'-'~~ I think my characters are mostly without expression

This is so pretty Leila, I love all the blue colors! Her eyes speak, I love it! The water waves behind her give her some sort of "waterbender" vibe Haha Her outfit as well! I love her pretty hairstyle, she looks cute and lovely in your styel!

Stunning!! That pose, that smile, that stellar shading style Aaahhhh~! Hmm now I am curious, for how long have you been drawing, Leila? :3

LeilaAscariz In reply to Astral-Chan [2018-04-08 17:36:38 +0000 UTC]

Since I have a memory. I started drawing clowns when I was 2 years old, copying a simple design. I stopped drawing for about 9 years and got back to it last year when I got my life sorted about being through some complications.

I am already rather old hahaha

Astral-Chan In reply to LeilaAscariz [2018-04-10 15:46:19 +0000 UTC]

Wow that's so coooool! Do you still have some of those drawings? O.O That's one of the things I regret most, I didn't save any of my old art :c

I'm happy you got back to drawing, your art is so awesome!

And heyy you're not old lol, and thinking of all your lovely elven characters I can't help but compare you to them and in elven years you're very young! This is only the beginning~

LeilaAscariz In reply to Astral-Chan [2018-04-10 16:02:06 +0000 UTC]

I do! Not from when I was 2, but from when I was 6-7. I have a looot of art from my childhood and from when I was a teen.

And in elven years I am a little child hahaha

Wow, me encantó!! *____*
Siempre me pareció super interesante la magia elemental en retratos, y la forma en la que las "olas" complementan la silueta de la chica es magnifica. Me recuerda a algún tipo de carta de personajes, similar a los juegos de fantasía que las obsequian, y el atuendo me hace pensar que es parte de algun tipo de sociedad o tribu que se basa en este tipo de magia. Aunque quizás esa soy yo forzando la perspectiva de avatar en todos los que usan magia elemental

LeilaAscariz In reply to candemarzat [2018-04-05 19:25:38 +0000 UTC]

La tribu del agua xD

Ella es un homunculo, un humano creado artificialmente con afinidad por el agua. Por ello su atuendo y sus ojos (creo).

candemarzat In reply to LeilaAscariz [2018-04-05 19:46:51 +0000 UTC]

Entonces era más original que mi deducción cliché (?)
Pero suena como una excelente excusa para agregar olas de agua gratuitas a mis retratos cuando no sepa que fondos hacer, que es basicamente más de la mitad de las veces, así que quizás me robe la idea

calicocatx [2018-03-29 23:22:54 +0000 UTC]

I'm still in love with how you took one art style and brought it completely into your own while still retaining the original character's beauty. So much talent, and SO MUCH WONDERFUL BLUE!! I'm really digging the hairstyle as well. The browns and blues are so powerful together, I feel like it's a combination you don't often see. Nice job!

LeilaAscariz In reply to calicocatx [2018-03-30 06:37:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the original design had those sea blues and earthen skin and hair, which seemed like a cool combination to me. Thanks so much!

Forgive me if I scream for a moment but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Leila she looks so incredible! I love the movement in her hair and skirt, the detail in her eyes. her expression is perfect and captures her personality, and I love the nod to her abilities with the wave in the background.

I love it so much. Thank you, thank you. <44444

Not at all! <4
I really liked her relation to water so I had to do something with that. I still believe that the result is a bit more blurry than it should, though.
