Description
This is for 's monthly contest, the theme this month was "elements" and I couldn't resist being a little toungue-in-cheek about it.I spent a lot of time on Autor's boots, so you better appreciate! Once I had flattened the image and done everything else I moved it over to MS Paint to work on them, I haven't sprited in a while so it took forever.
Choosing who was which classical element was a bit tough, both Fakir and Rue have passionate personalities, both Mytho and Ahiru can be air headed, both are also aquatic bird so either would have fit for water, Rue is also a bird and so could have worked for air as well. In the end I rather like going with the elements I chose for them, their costumes match their eyes. I chose yellow for air because it seems so silly to have blue be two different elements and yellow is a nice, light, airy color. I also have personal issues with representing earth with plants but since Fakir turned into a tree in one episode (omigosh, spoilers you gais!) it seemed most fitting that he'd end up dressed as Puck.
Princess Tutu and all related characters belong to Ikuko Itoh
If you want to read more about why I went with this toungue in cheek idea and some of the rage that feuled this you can read it in my latest journal, which is all about the four classical "elements" [link]

Yeah, for the most part I can just sigh and let things go but if I was going to actually perpetuate the one peeve I hate most of them I felt I needed to go have my little soap box moment (in an optional manner) and then put it back in its box and move on. There really aren't any existing words in the English language that would work, I'm sure we would have switched them over by now if there were. So sad.
Ha hah, thank you! I had a lot of fun working on it and I'm glad I got it done so quickly! I didn't expect it to get so much attention either, I'm so happy everyone else likes it too!

That was really the best way to add the rant, so people could choose whether or not to delve into it. Much kinder than I usually am in that way.
English: we need more words for things.
Again, it's very clever. I'm really thrilled for you to see it's gotten so much well-deserved attention.

May I ask how long it took you to come up with the costumes?
Because I spent the better part of a year trying to come up with good elements costumes for a play....
Gah! So jealous....
But yeah, everytime someone talks about elements, I go "Periodic table!" ^.^

It literally took me a day. I sat down on my day off, opened up the file that had simple stick figures to map out the poses I wanted, grabbed some reference art for their faces, and just started drawing. I rather dislike Mytho's costume, air always gives me so much trouble. I wanted it to look like feathers but I don't think that came out right. Maybe next time I'll make him covered in clouds?
I know, right? We need a different word for the classical "elements" XD

thevoiceinyourhead-x In reply to Nanenna [2011-09-08 04:08:38 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, the only things I could think of for air were feathers and sheer fabric...which would make for an interesting outfit ^.-
But then again, my "air" person was a girl, so it made it easier...

Yeah, Autor was a character that was not meant to be liked. I've kind of softened to him a little and he was just so perfect for this. Thank you for the kind comment and the fav. ^_^

It could've been worse. You could've submitted something like a can of Sprite soda with "fire flavor" or something like that.

Heh - yeah, me neither. I just thought it would be funny. I like the idea - you could just use this for homework when you go back I've all but decided to scrap the concept of ever making any money at anything I take in college at all, and just finishing with a degree in art. What the hell, right?
I like these shadows
And YW
