Description Comment if you fav.

My first piece for the 100 Themes Art challenging is ‘Night’.

I was originally going for ‘Introduction’ but one thing lead to another. Oh well, we’ll give it another shot down the line.

Saint got a hair cut.

I like her new hair style very much, so it’s staying, regardless of anyone else feels. This actually gives me two characters with similar bangs, (my dragon lady, Zan, has straight bangs too, but I’m giving her a major overhaul so that’s about to change) both Saint and Colette (my vampire). But such is life!

I have these type of bangs in real life, and I love them, and I was aiming to inject Saint with more of my own personal tastes. It was just getting to the point where she looks too sloppy, to rough, and that’s not how she is. She’s quite girly, so I am.

Oh yeah, no more black mixed in, it’s back to being simply purple.

Anyway, I like this piece; it was pretty fun and came along quickly. I had to take a small break from trades, I just needed to do something for myself! Maybe I’ll do one more Theme picture and then jump back on the art trades I need to finish (and start in some cases)!

I guess I’ll update Saint’s reference sheet sometime, but in the mean time I’ll just direct people here.

Vanilla’s feeling so tired and grumpy right now. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

EDIT: I forgot to draw her eylashes through her hair last night. So I did it today. And I added her makrings! Well the one that you can see! On her knee there! Whoo, no more edits I hope!

Wow hunni, I love her eyes so much! ;o; They got me instantly when I saw this, the expression owns so much! Her hair looks awesome, but to be honest I liked it more with the black mixed in but oh well, your character and your choice x3 Just my opinion Your lineart is as awesome as ever, The lines are so smooth, and they go so well with the shading! The shading in her hair is terrific, I love it! Her outfit is so awesome, your imagination always amazes me! <3 I love her thighs, just the way they should be <3 I hate todays anorectic models, females should look like fully women and not like some bonebags ><;; But back to the pic, the schyte looks awesome! Just one crit though sweetie, you should shade it a bit more metallic, it looks a bit like plastic right now :3 Aww, what am I talking about, I have no right to crit your art, it is perfect! xD And the background is just awesome! Well, I'm off now, and I'm sorry that I haven't commented on your pics recently, I have had so much to do! ;o; <3

Looooove, Saint's little makeover came out beautifully~!!! I like the plain purple, I always thought streaks were a lot of pain. e_e Which is why Kuru has only 1 streak, haha, and it's thick enough so as not to cause me trouble. *such a cheater* Anyways, I must wonder: have you taken away her white belly and complicated markings, too? I don't spot them here~

BUT I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW HAIR OMG YAY. *dies* This is so pretty Van, great work!!

Vanilla-Wicked In reply to NakuruAngel [2007-04-15 23:23:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh and her white belly is still there! But with her arm it is kind of hard to see the bit hat pokes outta the top of her dress! Trust me! The only thing that's changed is her hair!

well i think the 'night' is a good start. that theme fist with you beautiful character. hehe and of course you drew her amazingly well as always. you know i like her a lot. shes a very interesting and of course very sexy gal. as always you did a great job on her sweet face. those eyes and those lips always. hehe and her hair style is just adorable. i cant forget to comment about her outfit. the style of her clothes is great. i like her dress, its pretty shorty. hehe. to bad we almost cant see her hands. i really like they way you draw them. well those gloves are pretty nice. the necktie is a pretty nice and very cute touch. hehe and dont think i didnt notice her body. coz i really love the way you drew everything. her hips and her waist look pretty nice like that. and of course her big and cute breasts are very well done as always. hehe i can see its a cold night ( again, hehe sorry i couldnt resist ). and i dont need to tell you how much i like the coloring job. everything is fantastic and pretty well done. nice job on the bg too. hehe wonderful pic sweet. keep it up. and good luck on this challenge thing
