Description It's fanart of a character that hasn't been released yet! The flower queen belongs to ~Daggerfell , but I'm told those two crooks ~arctic-dreams and ~sirscalf contributed to the design. Anyways, it started out as a doodle, and morphed detail from there. It was difficult for me to get the colours to work, but I think it turned out alright!

Flower! Some WIPs:

Starlitdragon In reply to kradeelav [2007-11-15 05:55:48 +0000 UTC]

I don't really have a process. ><; However, I do start from very dark colours, and just stroke in the individual strands of hair with my Open Canvas airbrush. Then I take the pencil tool and stroke in smaller, sharper highlights. There's a lot of undoing and playing around. xD What I try to do is incorporate lots of different shades of red, orange, and a bit of blue (it's really a dark greyish blue, so its not easy to pick out), to give it as much depth as possible.

I don't know if that makes sense or not! xD

Yes. So much yes. <3 Wonderful details, fantasmic colors, and yet another astounding background. You're so good at squishing shiny things together and making it work, agh.

One day I'll figure out a rad colouring style that doesn't abuse the shiny- but hey, if the shiny looks coordinated now, that's awesomesauce! xD Thank you!

Oh wow. This is amazing. *w* I love the colors here, the reds and greenish-blues, and I love how you color hair (it actually looks like hair, lol). Awesome job on the outfit, too!

wow you do your bgs on one layer only? =o
Love the colors in here, and the shineyness.
...and of course, the bg. c: keep it up! -waves-

Starlitdragon In reply to Foxchibi [2007-11-13 04:11:58 +0000 UTC]

In this one, I did do most of the BG on one layer- I just forgot to layer the thing. Usually I have more layers. I started doing layers for the textures and some of the snow plants though. X3

Thank you!
