Description
I don't think this can be considered mature since you can't see anything really so, I'm not marking it lol If people think it needs to be then let me know but I've seen worse here on dA without a filter. I'd let my kids look at it if I had any.Anyway, posting this now since it's a Christmas gift for my little sis Gem! I used it in my 2014 Summary of Art which, I'm posting on the 30th or 31st so it'll be the last submission for this year. I figured I'd post her gift early just so it's up and she can enjoy it for Christmas.
So like...last year I was practicing anatomy by referencing poses. I mostly used my character Dawn but I think I upset Gem or she was just having a bad day, one of those, so I decided to try drawing one of her girls when I found a nice pose. A lot of the refs I was using I WOULD have marked mature, but since it was a gift for her I tried to find one that didn't look so bad. Not to say any of the poses were bad I just...wanted to be respectful XD Plus Yuu here is a VERY shy character. You can see her blushing just with this pose.
But it really suits her. Yuu is one of the older Guardians, along with the trio members which consist of the 3 Jewels and two Guardians, a male of Light and a male of Darkness to balance and protect her. Yuu is a pseudo Jewel. She's got powers like one and even boosts their power without being one herself. She's a very pure and innocent spirit, full of light and compassion. Her fate is a very cruel one, being tortured and murdered in a horrible...unspeakable way. However, in the RP she is reborn as the little girl Kaliya, and yet her "adult" spirit lingers. She is supposed to eventually merge with Kaliya and be lost forever, something that saddens the ones that love her.
Before this can happen, she's granted a body to live in and enjoy living for a short time. While this happens, she encounters a boy named Brian, the grandson of Kashkie and Kylie, coming from their son, Basil. He spends time with her, likes her, and is sad when she talks about leaving and never coming back. He tries to stick close to her while he can, and be encouraging and comforting, and eventually, well...they turns into something more XP They've now got a little son together, Celios, giving Yuu something she always wanted, the chance to be a mother.
Yuu's a very special girl, and going back to the original sketch it was just one I always loved. I did the lineart but never finished it. I figured it would be nice to finish it to make a gift for Gem. It was just too nice of a picture to not finish XD
Here's the reference in question, I'm just glad I was able to find it.
Anyway this was a lot of fun to color! I did Yuu's hair a little differently than how Gem does it but, that's just my style XD I think the hair especially came out beautiful and the background I was just thinking of a sunrise with the clouds around her for extra coverage. All in all I love it. I did most of this while watching Tangled and Sleeping Beauty XD
So, Merry Christmas little sis X3 You're awesome and I just need to do more and more lovely pictures for you because you deserve them <3
Merry Christmas to everyone else as well! You're all awesome!
Yuu belongs to GemzyBabee
~ Halo

Don't mind me, just going through your gallery, looking at the stuff I've missed from the past years! I can't leave comments on all of them, but I wanted to leave a few on the pieces that really stuck out to me, so I'll start with this one!
The thing I like is that while you used a ref pic, you didn't just copy over it - you turned it into your own art. ^^ I love the overall colors in this pic. The background really complements the character very well. Also, I love the inclusion of the fluffy clouds around her (it's a good way to incorporate her into the background, and like you said, add some coverage to keep with the innocence of the character).
The hair turned out really great! I love shine in hair, so to me, the more the better! If I remember correctly, you had just started with digital art right around when I took my long absence, so it's kind of cool to see how you've progressed all these years! ^_^

Oh no I appreciate it! I appreciate someone looking at the "real" artwork, since all I've had time for is quick little RP pictures done with a reused base I made and then people assume that's all I do. So no comment and browse as much as you like! ^^
I try not to reference too much but really my best anatomy comes when I do...I'm still having to learn it for myself. This was completely free-handed though just referenced...I'd never be one to copy...like trace Yes I was going for something angelic looking to suit her character and yes it helped with coverage. My friend was kinda shy when she first saw it since this was her character and I was like, but it's beautiful! lol it's always been a favorite of mine too.
Yep! I believe that was February 2012 when I started? I really appreciate it ^^ And I loved the colors and everything in this too! Thanks!

Ha ha, you're welcome!
Oh, and I have nothing against using references! I sometimes have to look in a mirror when I'm drawing to check on a pose, so nothing wrong with that! I just have seen a lot of artwork recently where someone traces over something to make art, and that to me doesn't help in developing as an artist. But I knew by looking at the pic that you didn't do that (I probably didn't word myself very well lol). ^^ References help to develop your artistic eye, so no probs there! ^_^

GASP...then you could do Athena! I wouldn't have suggested Athena since we'd be uneven but if you did Yuu we could do Athena and have the complete set...the 3 Jewels and the pure spirit that increases their power~

Maybe something similar so they still look like a set...maybe have them sitting on their legs or something...of course Niena sort of is already XD

I love it, and what we could do then is put Medula and Niena on either side of them with the thumbnails so it's like a row X3
