Description For a long time, I haven't posted any digital art. But remember when I said I was studying and working on my art style? I felt like I needed to take some time to learn new things and seriously work on improving for a while. I've never been able to do vector lineart before, it was so difficult for me to figure it out on my own, and I struggled with this for years, but I finally did it! I forced myself completely out of my comfort zone and didn't give up. This is the end result of many long hours spent struggling and getting frustrated, lol... But it was fun to work on and I'm actually a little sad that it's finally finished now. This is me giving it my all, maximum effort! I hope you like it! :3

She's my OC. Recently I've been revamping a lot of my old characters and their designs. She used to be known as Kaline since I couldn't think of anything better but I really don't want to have a character with the same name as me, so here we are. (Truthfully, she was my first OC ever and means a lot to me. ♥) I've made some changes to her design and re-named her Kalaya. Her full name is Kalaya Bastille, and she's a Caracal Djinn. (More specific than a cat goddess or demoness, eh?) She will be in my upcoming novel and has a very important role in the series. But she'll probably make some appearances in fanfics here and there too. I usually write her as a very chaotic neutral type character. Her colors are light pink and silver. She's a mischievous creature who grants wishes and she can shapeshift, her true form is a blue-eyed Caracal. If you want to know more about her, feel free to ask. 

She's become my go-to character for experimenting I guess. The very first time I drew her was 10 years ago when I was a bratty little art noob. It's neat because you can see how she's evolved with my style over the years if you've been watching me since that time. (Hah I doubt it...)
The last time I drew her was in 2015, so have this crappy ref from 4 years ago: Character Reference - Kaline (ancient version)  
You can see that she is very different now, so this reference is no longer accurate, obviously. They're not visible in this pic but I've changed her shoes too. They're open toed silver high heel sandals instead of the weird boots. She does still have her tail ring but it will have the same swirl patterns like her cuffs and leg band. And her outfit has a different design that I vectored myself just so I can use it again as needed.  

Would you like to see more art like this in the future? It'd help me out a lot if you'd consider supporting me on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/user?u=434054
(I will also probably be opening new commissions soon, so keep an eye out for that!)

Sorry this is so wordy. I'll go now. xD

Overall, this looks pretty lovely. The pose and facial expression suit her nicely. The hair and especially the eyes turned out very nice. The shine and sparkles on them really make those parts stand out. Would be nice if her skin and outfit also got a bit more shine.

Aww thank you so much! ;w; I'm really glad you like it. Thank you for the honest feedback, I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time. I was a little worried that I might be overdoing it with the sparkles but I'm glad to know that wasn't the case.   I think her hair and eyes took the most time out of everything. xD

The deviations tagged "mature content" are displayed in the feature if you have in ON that option, otherwise they are not visible. To be able to feature images with mature content, I must have the option in ON when I'm doing this feature, otherwise, in the folder where I save the images of this feature, in Eclipse only, I don't see them and they are not selected but in the current layout (green), they are visible with the tag even if i have the option in OFF, so issue resolved!AAlways, ForeverIt does not matter

OMGGGGGG KALIIIIIINNNEEEEE!!!!

This is just fantastic! It makes me so happy to see you drawing again! This made my day. Your style has improved by leaps and bounds since you first started, I can attest to that. This is the best artwork I've seen from you so far. I cannot praise this enough but I shall try....

I remember when she was called Kaline so it'll be hard not to think of her like that but I think re-naming her was probably a smart choice. Wouldn't want people confusing the two of you. Her design is so beautiful and cute, but if I remember correctly from reading about her before, she has a dark side as well right? She is lovely. I love the way you work with light and the shining effects in this piece really highlight her ethereal beauty. From the design on her clothing, to the little silver coin tassels hanging from it, to the intricacies of her eyes and hair, all of the tiny details come together to create a masterpiece. 

How long did this take you to complete, if I can ask?

Awww thank you so much!   That's really sweet of you. I still don't feel like I've improved enough, but that's another thing altogether. 

Heh. I'll always miss those days... You are correct, she does have a dark side but it will revealed later on. She may look cute but it's very deliberate, to throw people off and catch her enemies off guard. ;D I'm glad you like her design. She's changed a lot over time and she'll always be special to me, regardless. 

Hmm I'm not sure exactly but I worked on this for a few hours a day when I was feeling up to it, over the period of a couple of months. In total I'd say probably 30-40 hours of work.

Oh sweetie you've improved plenty! I can see a very obvious difference between your art from years ago and the art style you've developed now. Yeah those first OCs are always unique and special. I can't wait to read your book! It's been a while since I've seen much from you, are you okay Kaline?

Whoa that seems like alot, I had no idea how much work an artist could put into their craft. There's alot of love there. I mean I can't draw for a hill of beans but hey.

I'm glad you think so. I don't always see the improvement but maybe I'm biased. And yeah, I'm doing ok... Don't worry. Things have just been hard and kinda gloomy, but I'm not giving up. I never will. And I'm sure you could draw if you wanted to, btw. I couldn't but look at the crap I do now. xD

Awww thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. It took a long time, but I had fun and in the end I was able to make something that I'm satisfied with. I plan to upload more drawings in the future, but I don't want to neglect my writing either. You know me, heh.
