Description [edit] ... I won second place...

...so, as promised... ---> [/edit]

My uber last-minute entry for 's contest of her extraordinarily beautiful character, Cyan. I swear, I didn't do her justice.

Half of the contest requirements was a drawing. The other half is to describe an envisioned personality for the character drawn. "She can fly faster than most dragons and is very agile in the air." A direct quote from Cyan's ref.

I instantly felt like sticking her in the air in an insanely elegant aerial pose, looking free, fun, and confident in the air.

This... is so not that pose... but I think it's close-ish. XD

In the end, I think I spent way too much time on something I didn't end up being very satisfied with... but ah well. It was a learning experience in the end!

No critique is really necessary because I have very little intention of fixing all the mistakes I know are there.

Excellent work I love the colour. How did you do in the contest?

Oh good grief, this this is ancient. Stop looking at it! XD

But I came in second place... and hey, come to think of it, I never got a prize! XD

Well it's still a good piece! Exams coming up too, eh? Argh, I know the feeling. Well maybe after they're over then concentrate on passing first.

Tsk, cheated out of the prize? The nerve of them.

It makes me shudder, truthfully, and want to hide it away. XD I still can't draw wings for beans, but my general anatomy has gotten a bit better. Doodling this up like the Time Warp piece actually sounds like quite a bit of fun!

Yes, well... real life is evil, and all that jazz. XD It's not the only time it's happened, and it certainly won't be the last. XDDD

The wings aren't so bad -- a little uneven maybe but I put that down to perspective/their position. Wings are are, I've always put in the effort because I love them so much though.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you come up with if you do choose to do the time warp again.

Work, taxes, housework... you're right, it's just dastardly

Yes, the colors! o.o

I like the long format and the rectangle in the background.

The gorgeousness can be blamed on you- Cyan is extraordinarily beautiful to begin with! XD

But I'm glad you like it.

OMG Beautiful! The colors! The pose! I this! She looks like she's playing tag in the air! If fun was the personality you wanted to show, then kudos!

Good luck in the contest!

XD Thank you much!

*crosses fingers* I have no intention of winning, but if I place at all, I'll probably faint from the shock. XD
