Description THIS IS NOT PERMANENT! Just yet...

+ [Here's the concepts page]

I can guarentee a few good "WTF?"s from long-time devWatchers, close friends and loyal fans. lol. Instead of drowning out a long ass story as to why I've changed 'Nuka -[ Reference]- like this...I'm going to put up a journal explaining everything once this is submitted.

It was nice to be able to finally draw out one of MANY MANY outfit designs I've wanted to put her in. x.x; This one's not finalized or even permanent either. With this overall new design I may just set some guidelines instead of making an "official outfit". Cause now, I even have complete free-range to all kinds of clothing designs and such cause just about anything looks good without clashing with her fur. I even have some cosplay ideas in mind already. XD

PLEASE no critiquing. v.v
I didn't really any effort into this and I know that the proportions, especially her face being way too low, is really out of whack. This was drawn simply to show the fur and outfit, not for quality.

OMG!

Nuka looks amazing! I know I commented on your journals and I glanced at this when you first submitted it, but when I came to really look and comment on it now, just wow. This is incredible.

I am in love with her clothes. They appear to be so natural, something you'd see at a store maybe, but if you look closer, at the fine detail, you see more, your creativeness I guess. The star theme is great for you I think, because you're like a star on here! Lighting the way and inspiring people to draw and colour as well as you do! (I can be metaphorical!) The belts along the side are cool and I've noticed how you like the short top. Who wouldn't with beautiful fur like Nuka?

Now, for her fur and hair colour. I do like the more toned down colours as well. I loved the more orange/red Nanuka, but looking at this, you look great, but almost dull to me. I dunno, maybe you could test it out and see how it would look adding a bit of red too...Not a layer like the older one, but just a bit over some of the brown. I dunno, I just know I love the red colour of a fox's fur. I mean, not all of them are red, but I like how the older Nanuka represented almost all the colours of foxes. Don't get me wrong, I love the colours now, I just would like to see some red in there somewhere. I feel like I'm missing warm colours, even though it's in the hair.

That does transfer my comment to hair though. I like the red much better. I loved the green and blue but to see the red now, I realize I like this better. I'm glad you kept the yellow because it isn't such a vibrant colour that it takes away from the picture, it's one that brings the fur and the hair and the eyes together, instead of being a blob of blah. (hah, bob = blob of blah! XD)

These are all my opinions though. Don't feel like you have to change anything, because this character does represent you. I think this looks great and you are so creative! Keep it up, can't wait to see you draw her like this more.

Nice. I am really liking this change; the colors blend so well and I absoloutely -love- earth tone kinna colors. I think the outfit idea is pretty cute too, with the stars. And, nice job pulling off black with brown, since that's generally a pretty hard thing to do.

I'm glad that you're exploring different outfit designs, I'm sure 'Nuka was getting sick of the same outfit everyday, hu? You should totally do more of this, I really like this especially because it isn't the usual


Anyway, I reaaaaallly like that outfit. It's so coordinated and just like, plain effing awesome. <33!

Nanuka In reply to mcatra [2005-10-30 22:35:06 +0000 UTC]

Actually...I have like hordes (sp?) of outfit designs for her....XD lol. I just want to have a sort of trademark so I kept the same outfit. I'll still draw that one occasionally but all her new ones consist of black, grey, white and either red, yellow or orange as accents. :3 sank yous.

madonnawayne [2005-10-28 13:25:39 +0000 UTC]

I like it hon! I mean really, she looks so content. <3 All the darker colors bring out a more mature, calmer atmosphere.
I liked that idea about hacing really dark brown instead of black on her fur...I know it's less foxy, but it does go better with the red in her hair.

I like the red in her hair a LOT. Please keep it or something similar! Oh and don't change her bi-colored eyes! That's like...so her. It's so pretty.

And that outfit is fantasmic. I so want it. ;_;

Okay, just took a comp to a previous reference sheet of Nanuka. I don't really notice any outstanding difference save for a change in hair color; the hair style and arrangement of fur pattern is the same. But hey, it's all yours, ai? ;9 Sorry for being a pain.
