Description NOW FINISHED!!!

Augh.... as predicted, I had about two more hours to put into this piece before getting it done, but I went to see Toy Story 3 instead of finishing it... BUT IT'S FINISHED NOW.

Soooo.... my entry for round two of #The-Fanart-Challenge which is was Gankutsuou. I decided to draw Haydee and The Count because they ended up being my favourite character. Especially Haydee :3 I wanted to draw her with the Count with the Count being his creepy self. but it ended up looking very bland when I finished it, so I added in his Gankutsuou face tattoo thingy and well.... blah.

I pumped SO MUCH TIME into this piece. At first I was just going to have flat textures like in the original show but after doing Haydee's dress I decided that was going to look AWFUL... so I shaded.... with the textures..... oh my god. It took forever and I think I've been looking at it for too long because I don't KNOW how I feel about it.... so.... here it is.... it's done.

Also, there's something super special to me on Haydee's dress. Cookies to the person who can find it!

Anyway... ENJOY!!

CREDITS: Because I refuse to be the sort of artist who uses a shit ton of stuff that isn't theirs and then TAKE CREDIT FOR IT.

Lots of the textures I found on mayang... others I found with the google image search.... I didn't paint the stained glass on Haydee's dress. I just re-appropriated the textures I found.

I love the dramatic flow of his cape! Actually, I want his cape! I think I may have to steal it. First, for you to cartoonize me! *Hey girl can dream!

Thanks so much!

I don't have any tutorials just because I use a really simple technique in photoshop that you can find on an tutorial (poly-lasso, fil, rinse, repeat) and for things like this, it's just too sporadic for me to explain how I did it so.... MY SORRY ;____;

There's a mermaid tail, looks like. Y'know, I have to give you credit- it's because of you that I watched the whole show. Loved it, although the manga is.. raw. (As in- can't read it!) And now I want to find it on DVD- stupid Geneon.

Myrcury-Art [2010-06-20 18:11:18 +0000 UTC]

This is interesting because its super saturated colors, which is unusual to see from you. I love it though - you've done these colors beautifully! I'm not familiar with this show/series, but I'm really drawn in by the extreme amount of detail, and all that time you pumped into it really, REALLY shows. It just looks fantastic. I love it.

MegziePegzie In reply to Myrcury-Art [2010-06-20 20:18:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! To be honest, using such bright colours feels weird to me since I try to keep the saturation of the colours I use pretty low. But I had fun with it anyway! Thanks so much!!

This is just breath taking.

The colours, both dark and yet bright, harmonious and yet contrasting. It's like a visual feast XD. The textures and colours you've chosen, not just WHERE you've put them but where you've NOT put them, fantastic. I looooove love love the count's hair. That's probably my favourite part. That and her dress- WOAH her dress!

I am a lurker by nature, I only comment when a piece really does TOUCH my inner art geek, which is not often so... that's... a good thing? I guess is what I'm trying to say? Haha. The amount of effort and time you've put into this is well worth it!

Oh my goodness, THANK-YOU SO MUCH!! I know what it's like to be a lurker/faver who only comments on the really GOOD stuff. And really, I would rather get one or two realy well thought out and appreciative comments (like yours) than a ton of "omg this is cool" comments... lol... so really.... THANK-YOU SO MUCH!!!

I only now noticed after the fact, as I was staring at this, appreciating it some more- you've used my brushes in the background. Thank you! Can I ask you to please credit them? That's all I ask for regarding their use.

tahliadenae In reply to MegziePegzie [2010-06-21 12:09:23 +0000 UTC]

Haha, that's absolutely fine! I'm so glad you enjoy them, that's exactly why I made them. It makes me all giddy just seeing them being used - especilly when I see them in artwork like THIS! Be still my beating heart

I know exactly what you mean about really appreciating those few, well thought-out comments. I am happy to oblige, it's you who has gone and created something amazing and shared it with us- it's the least I could do to show my appreciation
