Description
Wooo! Finished it :3 I really quite enjoyed drawing this, and this time I didn't have to worry about a background so I loved doing this.I did struggle a little bit with the colour scheme, but in the end I went for my favourite colour, green! I hope it suits her
In her description it said she liked decorative things like bones and shells and feathers, so I tried to decorate her in a whole load of bones and gold jewlery
I even tried to design a necklace, but...er..well you can see for yourself that it isn't exactly the most amazing necklace design (so I definately need to work on drawing jewlery XD). Also I tried to design her outfit around her markings (she's got really pretty ones, and I didn't want to cover them up). So that you can see them at the front and behind
I loved her tiny cute little horn! To me, it was one of her best features.

i love character design ... *orders chocolate and starts talking to your picture*

Thank you! She was quite a hard character to design clothes for! She had to have gold jewlery, and she likes feathers, bones and shells- so matching this up with her sultry dark skin and finding a colour for the rest of her clothes was a challenge
But it ended alright (even though my bf said there wasn't enough detail XD after which she made a mildly disatisfied face at the screen- ah, friends forever hehehehe).

lol but the guidelines really were hard. seen this way its amazing what youve done with the values and hues : D I can tell that sometimes when you have to do a character by description its really REALLY hard to make it look good. especially since the customer dont always know whats a good design at all °_°' all on our shoulders TAT

Ah, sounds like you speak from experience

Oh, wow, this is fantastic.

Oooh! Thank you! It makes me so happy when people say they like the colour scheme, sinse it was the matter that i agonised over the most when drawing this design XD
Are you, maybe thinking about entering as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I considered, but I fail quite utterly at costume design, so probably not. XD

Ah, you're much too harsh on yourself, you've got some lovely designs in your gallery :3 But it's your decision

I totally love her outfit, it's very well done and detailed and original. Great job indeed

OMG I love this Candy!! I am so thrilled you entered too, thank you so much
I think the whole outfit is really fitting for Fig, and I love that you paid such close attention to her description! The long pipe looks lovely with her and I know it must have been difficult choosing colors for her dark color scheme, but for what it's worth - you did a beautiful job! The green is really flattering against her skin and it makes her eyes stand out even more
I think it's really clever too that you found a way to feature her markings and worked the design around that. It's quite flattering looking on her and I love that it's so strappy and exotic looking! The long, dangly earrings are great and I like that it ties in to the bits at her waist - and same with the rest of her jewelry! Very nice looking and right up her alley. And you did her little stubbular horn so well hehe, it's too cute
Excellent job Candy, I love this and I really appreciate that you took the time to enter! THANK YOU!

Wah! Thank you so much for such a long comment!
I wanted the outfit to stand out and be slightly unusual, since she's quite an eccentric person. And also I had to bear in mind that she's going to have tough competition from all those other amazing Unavisi outfits (belonging to characters who already exist). So it was tough (especially since i firmly believe that i have no fashion sense at all when it comes to designing XD)
I also had a little portrait of her in the top left corner, before i decided that it didn't survive the inking process well enough to be featured in the final drawing. It was supposed to show in more detail, where the four piercings are positioned on her ear, and also make it more obvious that she has a nose piercing (which is a bit difficult to see on the current piccy). Maybe I'll put it up a bit later in to my scraps gallery (if you'd like)
Thank you so much for your comment

Thank YOU for doing such a great job and taking the time to enter, I sure appreciate it!

Me too! XD I can't help it, I love drawing smokers :3

Psaaw! XD I try, sometimes it's good, other times it's a disaster (but I don't show those piccies to anyone XD)

Ah! This is really good! (Unexpected since I was trawling through pictures at random)
Outfit, color scheme, and well just about everything are just completely awesome.
Only thing I don't like is the gradient pants. They just don't work with the shading style on everything else.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah! Thank you for your feed back XD The gradient pants were actually a bit like my venture into the technologically innovative ground. I got inspired by my friends flip-flops XD I personally think they make the design a lot better than just bright green on it's own :3

She looks very cute! I had a bit of trouble with my entry since I'm not very good at details. xD

Oof, I think know where you're coming from- I had to pull all the stops out with this one, since I strugle with jewlery and such (cause I don't wear any myself, I have no imagination with jewlery designs).

lol yeah, same here, save my 7 ear piercings. xD
