Description she needs more than boots and a thong...maybe pants?

Now alot of you may recognize this "trenchcoat" from back on ~ruby69 (as usual). this happens to be what 'Nuka's wintercoat would look like if I were true to the idea. but other than the fact that its a bitch to draw and especially colour, it would be considered a "generic goth design". I cannot stand it when people say Im just a stupid goth....I may wear black, it doesnt mean Im sterotyped tho. *went off subject*

Something you may learn about if youre a close friend is that I strangely feed off my environment and/or surroundings when I draw something. out of the 4 seasons, "Fall" would be my utmost fave! Spring is too giddy and happy. Summer is way too hot and bright. Winter is freggin cold and has a lonely vibe. but Fall (to me) has this warm kinda calm thing to it. Its never usually too hot or too cold. The overall mood is perfectly inbetween Spring and Winter. which is wonderfully relaxing! lol. Besides noticing my "mood" changing with the seasons: youll see that my production of drawings changes too. During Spring im really busy, during Summer I sleep the hot days away and during Winter I cant feel my fingers long enough to draw. heehee

+ Original Sketch - The 1yr old sketch that inspired me. now check that out!! major difference huh? In just a lil over a year too.

Feel free to ask questions bout the design. Especially those who wish to draw it.

Aw, it's a shame you don't use this coat more often, the design is great. The high collar kinda reminds me of Auron... O__o Just a sign that I play FFX too much. Anyway, back to the art! The X stitching adds a great touch to the coat. I like the leaf and shaded background. Though it's relatively simple, it really adds to the piece.

I want her coat-jacket thingie too! Awesome design, .. kinda reminds me of Auron's trenchcoat, but black, and without all that junk auron had, ... Doesn't look goth to me--it's cool, is all I'm saying,

Oh yeah! And thanks for the devwatch too!

Emotionally beautiful! Neat coat, but I'm very interested in her face. Seems like autumn is a time of sadness (true for many of us). ^^

Wow! I really love her coat in this. Lovely design, as always Nanuka. Miss queen of beautiful yet simple punk/gothic designs! (and Raver too. )

I love her pose in this, and her sense of wonderment. I really REALLY wanna see more pieces like this. Ones that have more mystery, feeling, you know, stuff like that to them. Your generic happy stuff is nice, but this is more my style. Lovely job either way hun, keep up the awesome work! for sure!

It looks like a long warm comfy coat. It definitely take it for meh XD. I love Fall too, it's the middle season. When it rains it feels good, when it's hot it feels good, when the wind blows it feels good. I wonder what I missed, Ah, when it's Fall it feels good XD

*stops ~PaintedYoko from stealing 'nuka's jacket* ( just wait 'til it goes up for auction on eBay )
honestly, I like spring better, but that might also have to do with the fact that I'm from the Netherlands, thus, we have different climates... for me it's like this:
winter: way too cold, but throwing snowballs is fun though... that is, IF it snows this year... I always get sick during winter
spring: finally some good weather, no poisonous bugs ( wasps, I hate them >.< ), just perfect ^_^
summer: too damn hot! even though the max temp. is about 93˚F, 35˚C
autumn/fall: wet and cold, I don't think you'd wear that outfit during autumn/fall if you'd live in the Netherlands

also, my mom once tested my eyes on what "season-type" they were... spring type 2 or something like that
