Description REDesign for October 2015...Hope everyone has a happy and safe halloween!

If you would like to make a suggestion for my next REDesign, please visit my current journal.  Thank you for your interest either way! : )

As I've discussed with the early members on ChromaViva, for most of the monthly fanart from now on I'll be taking the suggestions, picking my favorite as usual, but then also designing a new costume for the chosen character so it'll add a little unique spin on it.

This one is a bit inspired by two suggestions, actually...One was from TheeForsakenOne to paint Midna this month, but then Adahn5 suggested the historical figure Vlad Tepes who reminded me of Castlevania and I immediately started to envision Midna in clothing reminiscent of Castlevania art and *had* to paint it!
Though I looked through official art and fanart of Midna while painting this, I also heavily studied Ayami Kojima's art - both for inspiration and technique.

I love it Mandarin, the iconography and the colours, all very Twilight Realm-y, especially the cuniform-like symbols. The style is also really unique but it plays so well with your own artistic idiosyncrasies. It's lovely ^^

Thank you - I was trying to design something that called enough to the costume designs of Castlevania while still holding on to enough of the visual design of the Twili.

Really good job. Now I'm rather looking forwards to see what else you come up with in the future for these monthly fanarts.
