Description ^___^ Yaaaaay! New work! And, ironically, I just hit 30,000 So this piccie is dedicated to all those who've watched/commented/faved/yelled/spit/ate/smexed/fought and... Uh, wait, what was I talking about again? O_o

Oh yeah. XD

Sorry, my minds be dizzy from coloring this thing. About this work now... It was created for a horror contest. Winner gets 50 bucks and a free table of the Horrific Film Fest happening here in San Antonio. *____* Sooo, the mission was to create a Gothic Queen. I'm pretty sure they wanted the garments black but... Ugh. That's typical, ain't? And I like color. T_T

Heh, I confess. I have a thing for the Goths. e__e Any time I see some person sporting Goth gear, whether it's with metal and studs or Victorian-style clothes, or just dark clothes, I blush. I adore this style so this contest was really fun to participate in.

Inspiration for this came from a mixture of things. But I was highly inspired by tattoo designs. Aside from getting rid of the usual black clothes, I also wanted to present my Goth Queen with a new hardedge spin, as opposed to the usual fluff-fluff we're used to seeing. >_> And what the hell, seeing as this was for a horror contest, I wanted to make people a bit unsettled looking at this chica. Even when she's staring away and you're free to look at her, that large kitchen knife pretty much tells you a bit about her. So be forewarned.

Yaaay! I'm super happy you love the blood. It didn't scream 'horror' enough until I added more blood. e__e But weeeee, I'm very pleased you love her design! I take pleasure in designing clothes and seeing whether people like them.

I hope you win! Black is so overrated when someone hears "goth," and this has a touch of eeriness which the colors accentuate. >u<

Sorry for this very belated reply. But many thanks for the comment here and on agreeing that being 'goth' should just be about black on black. Granted, it's gorgeous, but I'm also a sucker for setting new trends. many thanks for checking my pic out and always supporting my work.

Beautiful! Tho it's hard to see the detail in the detail (which I can tell there's lot of) due to DA's new viewing windows. I think this looks totally awesome! I love the colors too. Course, I think I've said that with about everything you've done, but seriously, the colors on this piece is magnificent.

The pixelation, in particular, annoys me when I want to see someone's work. :/ It takes a goooooood while for the picture to become clear. This sucks because the average person checking out work doesn't want to spend a minute or two waiting for something to show online.

Heh, thank you! I'm pretty proud of the colors here myself. I've been making more of an effort in creating good contrast along with a tighter color palette these days.

Tee! Thank you! And yaaaaay, another comment from you. How's the art coming along, btw? It's a lot like bike-riding, isn't it? Once you get used to it again the process becomes easier. Eventually, you ride your way up to the hills. Which is what I'm doing. Ugh. My calfs already hurt

Dark-Sephiroth2 In reply to RadiusZero [2010-05-20 19:46:20 +0000 UTC]

Art is coming along kinda slow. Haven't been in the mood for doing much lately, but I should pick it up eventually. Too lazy to go riding up hills at the moment
Plus I was never very good to begin with, so not much art skill to pick up really.

Its so true though, when people put so much effort and detail in their art, it shows, and you should definitely be proud of your work. It just makes me want to work harder, to reach this level of talent.

RadiusZero In reply to Ace093 [2010-05-20 17:14:15 +0000 UTC]

Yaaaaay! I'm glad you love the outfit! I'm not a fashion designer, but I'd like to think my designs were cool enough to like. I'm an in-the-closet Goth, I think. Meaning, I rarely go out and wear Goth clothes. Perhaps at conventions, but never at school. It only makes sense, then, to dress up my characters and make them wear the most bizarre but also beautiful clothes I'd personally would want to wear.

RadiusZero In reply to greyhare13 [2010-05-20 17:10:30 +0000 UTC]

Heh, there are so many levels of irony in this image, I can't list them all. The obvious one, of course, is how we typical view sexy Victorian-Goth chicks. Normally, they're just sitting there, looking pretty. You see this chica and think it's safe to check her out too. But then your eyes gradually wander to the right side and you realize she's holding this big-ass, boody kitchen knife. O__O

The other thing that immediately caught my attention is slightly controversial. At least in the religious sense. I won't get into that, though. >_>

But yes, this image is really full of irony, which I really love and hope people get. It's funny, though. I had originally wanted to just come up with an illustration. However, I felt guilty in doing that. I can't just draw something and not have it say something. I guess it's in my blood to try to make my art, not only cool-looking, but also meaningful.

(Don't mean to snoop around in your comments but) I'm going to have to guess that the second form of irony that you mentioned is that the picture’s composition has a striking resemblance to the virgin Mary. harhar

Love the pinstripe and the colours there's something semi-retro and victorian about it

Tee! I'm extremely pleased to read this comment. And you're right, it's got a semi-retro/victorian feel to it. I noticed in Goth, there's Victorian. But rarely will you find anything bright and punk about it. It's got a punk vibe. Of course, my inspiration had also come from tattoos. They're all about bright colors. It was really fun combining these styles together to produce this. Makes me want to make a series of pin-up Goth girls even.

Flane-Erenaeoth In reply to RadiusZero [2010-06-06 15:22:51 +0000 UTC]

Its a great combination- I'd love to see some more in this style. There's something quite disturbing about it that smacks of the abandoned British seaside- punch and judy shows and all that slightly weird Victorian entertainment. Also- anything that manages to combine well a colour scheme of bright pink and green is a definite win.
