Description Entry for 's Fire Priestess Contest

Uh, not what I expected for th' outcome, but it's not pretty bad, if I do say so me'self...

The scannerz're makin' it look like that fer some reason; but now that I think of it, dark skin on a priestess like that is a really good concept (I mean look at whats-her-name from El-Hazard ). Makes her look more... Aztecan/Native American, y'know? Wasn't my intention in the beginning, but hey, I was experimentin'. Goodness, it looks like MARIT drew this I did NOT intended to do that, honest! (it sux to be a 'flexible' animator)... I was thinkin' of one of my own characters, Galinda, with that face when I did this, since fire priestesses are generally... spit-roarin' fire

I love doin' long braids with poofy ends like that and I had fun testing out the blender markers on the feathers and wrap. The staff was the hardest to come up with to be honest. I was too focused on makin' it more 'dynamic' than anythin' that I decided to stick with the basics. With that big red ruby on top of there, I think it shows her status as high priestess that can still take on any battle put in front of her (at least, that what I thought when I went over the specs).

Usually I procrastinate on the last minute when it comes to contests... but there's so many competition for *Keysha-chan 's thing, I jus' HAD to jump in there as fast and best as I could don't get me wrong; I like it, I need this competitive edge, anyway

Traditional Media Used: Sakura Micron Pens, Copic Markers, Pentel Milky Gel Roller White (blech)
Image and Character (C) Lady Rumplestiltskin (subject to change)

I'm still a little overwhelmed about this I honestly thought I would only make it in just the top ten finals only (still would've looked good on my resume)

Oh, and congrats to you making it to the top ten finalist as well (I'll post that on your deviation right now...)

Whoo! I do love the ideas that have gone into this one! ^_^ The colour scheme (plus the tannish skin which really does work well with the fire element). There's a wonderful balance between the robes making her modest enough to be in such a high position in the temple, yet still showing enough skin to be sexy. The hair is wonderful and I ADORE her staff! I will add this to the list in a heart-beat!

Glad y'all like it I never peg meself to drawin' sexy ladies like that, but I was imagining one of my characters dressed in that get up -- like you, the only female characters I adore are my own

Sweetness!! I LOVE IT! *hoardes her costume* I've always been a fanatic lover of costumes, and I worship your originality! I especially do love that phoenix like tail-drap on the side of her hip. ^^
