Description
*Note: Not Vector Art. See media description*Fourth of a 12 piece series that will become the 2005 Retro Girl Calendar. I love the rain, and 'April Showers' was the first theme that popped into my head for the month, though around here, we hardly ever get rain that late in the season
This piece is dedicated to and , the wonderful people who watch me who have their birthdays in the month of April.
Medium: Original sketch drawn over in Photoshop with the pen tool, not vectors since the lines and shapes rasterize. It is similar process, but by devart definitions, anything that rasterizes is not vector art. Details added with brush tool.

The colors are lovely! I like the soft orange with the blue, very spring like. Loven the trench coat ^_^.

She... reminds me of Helga from Atlantis. Probably her blonde-ness and the tan coat. I don't recall if Helga actually wore a tan coat during the film, but I have a figurine of her wearing one. Anyway, this is cute. You're great with picking appropriate themes for the months!

She did kindof in one brief scene, when they're in the snow, but I have that toy The one from the European Happy Meal also made her trench tan for whatever reason.
As for reminding you of Helga, wait till June

Too cute! Only thing that bugs me is that she has no white in her eyes. Dunno if that was intentional.

GoblinQueeen In reply to InsertRandomNameHere [2004-11-02 06:40:05 +0000 UTC]
Yes, that was intentional, that is my style. All of the ones I have done like this have no eye whites.

I don't know what it is about this one, but thus far, it's my favorite. Something about the colors and the linework together... I dunno....It's just very striking and subtle at the same time.

GoblinQueeen In reply to brandiyorkart [2004-10-30 16:12:31 +0000 UTC]
The colors are far more subdued than any of the others, giving it a much calmer feel.

Stil lretaining that 50s retro look; good. I think it's almost safe to say your vector-type art is mostly like that. Which is very cool. Definitely reminds me of 'Singin' in the Rain' here. I find it interesting how your depicting the girls of each month. You could almost make a calender outta this.
