Description This is a commission for . It's of her OC, Vicenzo. He's supposed to have a quiet personality and tends to get worried easily. He also has a pair of hidden angel wings, but I've made them visible here. lol~ He has thing for black roses and crosses (as you can plainly see). He's not a sociable type so I'm sorry to some people out there that wants to get to know him. XD

This actually took relatively little time to do. (Hooray, I am speeding up on coloring!) I really like her original character and it was a whole lot of fun to come up with how he should look~! If you haven't noticed, I spent the most time on his earring...which you can't even see all that well!! >.<

Well, I hope you like this, ~Jadenlove ! Happy early birthday and many well wishes! Thank you for the Commission!

Psh! You are so ahead in the game with your nail art though! >w<
I wish I could have fancy nails like that, but I've never worn nail polish before, so I wouldn't know how!
(Though maybe you should probably do experimentation on fake nails or something so that your real nails don't die...lol)

D'awww...well, I don't think fake nails are very expensive. But then again, I have never bothered to buy them since I never paint or decorate my nails anyway. lol~ So I wouldn't quite know!

If you buy one pair of fake nails...can't you just use those forever and ever?

kikitue In reply to Lumiphira [2010-11-10 17:03:32 +0000 UTC]

no cause the glue underneath stays there cause it's like adhering cement and if you were to use them over and over again your nails would look bigger and bigger each time ... like thicker bigger.

Awh you can find inspiration for nails from anywhere! Honest it's all minature details and stuff. Nothing big.

Lumiphira In reply to kikitue [2010-11-12 02:14:50 +0000 UTC]

Really? I've seen my friends use this special tape to adhere their nails. And the tape is easily removable when you no longer want to wear the false nails. I think these are more temporary than those glued on ones...but for your purposes, maybe that's better if they were more temporary? So you could change them more often?

Hahaha~ But even so, I have never painted my nails (except for that one time I put a little varnish on them because I was going to work with chemicals that could potentially harm my unprotected nails. lol~

kikitue In reply to Lumiphira [2010-11-12 17:47:21 +0000 UTC]

Lol, well I don't think I can get that special tape where I am. I've never heard of it before. All fake nails come in kits over here with glue so it's a pain if you're not ove 16 (but I am so it's all good n_n)

Lumiphira In reply to kikitue [2010-11-13 22:18:10 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha~ It's not a special tape. It's just a stronger form of double-sided tape. Usually, if you're not interested in wearing the fake nails for forever and wish to reuse them at a later time after you have decorated them, you use double-sided tape, just to show them off for a day or two.

I've seen my friends use it but when they're in the lab doing precision work, they usually take off their nails and re-attach them later. I figure since you're into putting forth different nail designs for show, it might be more beneficial for you to have just temporary fake nails and then you take them off to remove the nail polish before starting off on your next design.

Not that I am any expert in this, so whatever you decide is probably best! lol~ Best of luck to you and future nail arts! (They're soooo pretttttyyyy...if I ever paint get my nails painted, I want you to paint them! In that "Hisashiburi" style in particulars~)

[insert lolface here]

I would do! I wish to practice on other people but it takes such a long time it's like -_- so I've only ever done them on myself.

I'll have to look into the tape stuff. It sounds good

i think i would DIE if i got this commission from you. i wish i could add this to my inspirational collection like...A MILLION TIMES. i love this guys character design!!! i can't even begin to believe that this took only 2+ hours.... this would take me like DAYS to complete. it's seriously amazing. this proves that art can be beautiful with lack of color. and i don't see that you used COPICS AT ALL?! how did you complete this with watercolor so neatly?! i envy you.

Hahaha~ You should check out ~Jadenlove 's profile for her original pic of this character. Did the best I could with him. I'm glad it turned out all right.

It's a watercolour commission. So of course no Copics! >w< I have separate Copic commissions. lol~ Thank you for all the great compliments!
