Description
"And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness, for the things I've done you blame me for..."--Elphaba, Wicked
Just the newest piece I'm working on. I tend to work in trends of what inspires me (as you may have noticed).
But there is one reason why I totally hate this picture. And that would be that I worked on it at only a 150dpi resolution!!! *cries* I cant believe I did that!! It wont ever print properly. ;-;
I might be able to bump it up to 300 and then start to really blend it and refine it from there, which I think I will do.
I'll let you know how it works out.
Once again, I tackled curls. What am I thinking? I doubt Glinda's curls will be any more refined that what you see here. I hate drawing curls. At least I can cheat with this black background again. XD
I love these black background reference images I nab!
And for those of you who know Wicked really well (and I know some of you are going to do this!), no that is not Kristen Chenoweth as Glinda, that is Jennifer Laura Thompson. Shoot me, for it, if you must, but let me at least say that I couldnt find a good reference picture of Kristen and Idina together in this scene!
I think the green skin is going over pretty well this time. Although there are only creamy greens in this image. No yellows or browns or reds...or blues.

I just saw this show last saturday in Chicago and OMG I freaking LOVED IT!!! It was so incredibly awesome, I can't even describe. You capture the mood of that song so well in this drawing. It really takes me back to the show. What an amazing job. Keep it up! BTW I just bought the soundtrack so I could enjoy it forever lol. My favorite song is defying gravity, I could listen to it over and over and it makes me remember the show at that point really well.

I saw it in NY, and I loved it even more after seeing it, which I didnt think was possible. This image is going to get finished soon, because I just pulled it off of my old computer's harddrive.
For Good is my favorite song, but Defying Gravity is the closest second ever. I'm waiting for tickets to go on sale at the end of this month for the San Diego performance.

Both: And none of it seems to matter anymore...
Yes, I am obsessed with wicked as well. When was it... ah, yes, last night that I was singing For Good as Glinda with my temporarily green friend as Elphaba.
Fun. OK, I'm done being obnoxious for now.

A friend and I are currently working on the costumes that Glinda and Elphaba wear in For Good. And we never really listen to anything other than Wicked when we are together. It's a very dynamic soundtrack.

RedEarthofTerra In reply to michiruokami [2006-03-13 04:36:29 +0000 UTC]
Same here with me and Raven767, in real life. we always listen to it and sing it: She's always Elphaba, I'm always Glinda. She's always Raven, I'm always (usually) Terra, and if not, Jinx. So, it's quite fun.

I'm really worried about getting tickets for the San Diego showings. I know they sell out quick. I'm actually blown away that they sold out so quickly.
I check everyday, but not often enough to catch seats before they sell out if they go as quick as 7 hours. Plus San Diego is the last leg of their tour. x_x I'm doomed. My friends will never see it.

I'm planning on finishing it. My only problem is that it's on a different computer, that is currently dead/dying. I have to set aside a whole day to pull files off my old computer and and put them on my new computer, without contracting a virus.
Hopefully around the frist week of March.

>_> I thought you meant the compression. I forgot that I wasnt complaining about that in this image.
I actually did manage to bump it over to a 300dpi, and the continuation of this piece has been done on a better resolutional scale. I will be able to print it well!
