You got what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I could do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am"

Wooooooooooooooohooooooooooo!!!!!!!I cannot believe I'm finally done with this it took me sooooo much time and headaches,but I finally made it!!!I ish happeeeeh

This is my entry for #AnimeEssentials 's Mascot Contest .Her name's Iris Lucía Kiryu, honoring two friends of mine ,and I hope they don't mind me taking their namesIt's just that's an old habit of mine to create characters with my friends' names because I love them and I wanna always remember of them.
Took 30+ hours to make,for around 1 month.It was HELL to make not-rainbowish clother,I'll tell ya. As I told =AwsumZ ,I didn't want to make rainbow clothing for the mascot,instead wanted something more...well,normal.It was pretty hella hard but seems I was really able to do it.LOL.
Tools;HB,2B pencil for lineart+Photoshop CS2 for the entire coloring.YES,THIS IS A DIGITAL WORK.and it's mostly why it took me so much time as wellaltough I know coloring with a mouse takes much more time than coloring with a pencil I wanted to give it a try well...at least it's done,lol.
Not asking for critique this time as always because it'll be useless,since it's a drawing for a contest.But I appreciate your comments,my lovesthank you for everything

congrats for your first pic completely coloured digitally
there are quite a few things i like about this pic,one of them being the lace on her skirt/dress which is sooo awesome and detailed *u* also,i think you're starting to become quite better at drawing clothing designs and folds too. i like that this work is not all rainbowy like most of your other works .rainbows are cool but when they are overused they can become tiring for the eyes when it comes to using many colours or details in a drawing i personally prefer either colourful characters in simple environments or simple characters in colorful environments because that makes the chara pop out even more,you dig what i mean? XD
i find this picture to be quite calming to the eyes because of the gentle colours you used both for the chara and for the bg . they really uniformize everything ^^
congrats once again believe it or not you're better with a mouse than i am,hahah <3

VelCake In reply to Miss-Heart [2010-04-28 17:38:39 +0000 UTC]

haha,thanks so much girl
I knowbut I used `hellobaby 's lace tutorial,I admitI don't have that much imagination
well,yes I'm spending a lot more time in cloth designs and I'm often trying to make mah folds look more realistic
I know...but well,I just simply love making rainbows but seems that,as the time passes,I'll start out to mix them with other colors and such...as always,improving each time!
lol,thanks but well...I just did this because I was pretty much lazy to make a complex bg and such...so I just did everything similar
really?O_O;; omg,but I don't think soyou're soooo much better than me girl
