Description Okay, so here's day three. Slime.

...I'm not that into slime girls. I was a bit stuck before I thought about a being that took on all the filth and negativity around her, so affected it became part of her.
That kind of emo idea was scrapped and became a being made out of tar.

...I ate jello while drawing her without thinking. Then I thought about it and got grossed out.

Her name is Mira, by the way. Hurrah for puns.

For theme 26 of the #100ThemesChallenge , variation 4.

I saw someone doing the same theme challenge as you are! They did a slime girl ([link] ) and it backs up my opinion that your monsters are more creative than the stereotype X3

Haha, well... I'm glad you think my stuff is creative! n_n;
Another artist I stumbled upon who did this challenge was ~stringmouse , and her creativity just blew me away!

Working with shapes and refining them in a painting style is actually a wonderful creative exercise. Time consuming, though. c:

very very well done, my friend. What beautiful contrasting colors to create an emotionally charged despairing image. She's a really cool character...I hope to see more of her soon.

Is she voracious or dangerous? Or is she looking sadly at the bones of those who perished in the tar pit?

It's up to your interpretation, really. Though my goal was the latter. c:

Good. So she's friendly at least. Is she friendly?

In a rather withdrawn manner.

What do you mean by "withdrawn"?

Subdued.

SIERRA-116 In reply to drawitout [2012-08-10 05:50:26 +0000 UTC]

Are you saying she's depressed and perhaps a bit "emo".

No.

Then what?

drawitout In reply to SIERRA-116 [2012-08-10 05:58:37 +0000 UTC]

I'm saying she's subdued in mannerisms. You asked if she was friendly, and I agreed that she was a peaceful being at least but not one that is particularly outgoing.
Being subdued and withdrawn doesn't equal depressed, or emo.

SIERRA-116 In reply to drawitout [2012-08-10 06:00:25 +0000 UTC]

So she doesn't really socialise?

drawitout In reply to SIERRA-116 [2012-08-10 06:01:57 +0000 UTC]

She's a bit confined to her tar, so nope.

I can't believe I feel sympathy for a tar lady (well, she looks like tar anyways ).

(And the title of the deviation and description mentions tar. eue)
I'm glad the picture evoked a reaction from you, though. I was hoping for it... but given her alien look and lake of much facial expression I wasn't certain it would work. xux Thank you for commenting.

Great job on conveying her sadness. I'd be depressed too if I was made of tar.

Thank you very much, given her lack of much of a face I wasn't certain if it would work. I'm glad it did.

...Yeah, me too.
