Description
I finished reading Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins the other day. It was pretty good. I decided I wanted to try my hand at some fan art. Sort of. I actually imagine Luxa to be much more pale than this--with almost translucent skin. Okay. so now that I read the character description... she pretty much looks nothing like this... oops. oh well. she looks pretty anyway... xD"Hands down, she was the strangest-looking person Gregor had ever seen. [yeah, I didn't make her "strange-looking" at all...] Her skin was so pale, he could see every vein in her body. [I was gonna try to color veins on her, but it didn't look right.]"
"At first he thought her hair was gray like his grandma's, but that wasn't right. It was really more of a silver color, like blonde hair with a metallic tint. The hair was woven in an intricate braid down her back ans was tucked into a belt at her waist. A thin band of gold encircled the girl's head."
M'kay. so I pretty much completely disregarded the character description all together. I forgot the braid... and that it was tucked into her belt... eh. She took her hair out of it for me to draw her. yeah. that's it. xD
Edit: okay. I just went back to photoshop and desaturated the heck out of her skin and hair. She was still too blonde and rosy before. I think that's a bit closer to the description. Isn't fan art fun? ^__^
Oh. And it also says that she's got purple eyes. I tried to be subtile with her eye color only because I'm not a big fan of obnoxiously bright unnatural eye color.
enjoy! ^__^
P.S. I might decide to try to re-draw her again later on. You know, with the braid and veins and stuff...

you're absolutely welcome! ^__^ I'm glad my drawing was able to help give you some ideas for your project. If you have a drawing, I'd like to see it if you get a chance to post it to deviantART? That'd be awesome.

iluv it...do u know that in the book it said her skin is nearly transparent??? either that or well ita hard to draw veins
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I had, in fact, attempted to do the translucent skin thing with the veins showing through and all, but it was lookin' really funky as I was trying to color it in, so I decided to opt out on that. ^__^; Yeah, veins are tricky to draw.
thanks for the comment! ^__^

really pretty! although(no offense), why is she blushing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the blush lines are usually just a staple stylistic choice for me, though I may have overdone it with the pink. Adding no pink color to her cheeks would have made the color look very flat though.
Or maybe she's blushing because she's annoyed/flustered/embarrassed by something smug that Gregor might have said? xD

I like your rendition of her XD Everything else is her in jeans and whatnot >_< She probably doesn't even know what jeans are =_=
I don't care if it doesn't fit the book's description perfectly. I like this way better than how the books describes her anyways XD
