Description
Well, the costume for this year's halloween wallpaper has still not been decided. It is a choice between these three. The wallpaper war associated with this is at Cyantian Chronicles. It isn't up yet.We've got the strongminded pirate gal. The certain 19th century american frontier lady doctor as I refer to the "cowgal". And the mischevious fairy as we jokingly call the pantsu-err-, I mean, tooth fairy.
Did you spot the pun?
The bid war deadline is set to after my exam in automatic control, which should be reasonable enough time for me to draw and paint the thing.

*laugh* Wow! That's just so cute on the mischievous masked marauder that mirthfully makes men mad. You always seem to convey Quinn in a way that's fun regardless of anything else, and this was a serious tribute to that attitude she has. The pirate getup is both colorful and fitting for such a peace-plundering person, and though I usually think of gold or some type of metal for swashbucklers, the pearls work surprisingly well. The tooth fairy outfit is cute an silly, and I really can't see anyone but Quinn wearing it for the fact that she wouldn't have any form of embarassment doing so (that girl has less inhibitions than me!). But the Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman outfit is by far the best in my opinion, being both form-conveying and conservative while still showing a sense of that wild-eyed Southwestern behavior we love here in Arizona. >D
Question:
I was debating for a long time with this question, but now I think I'm just gonna blow right through the wall and ask ya. The way you draw the Akaelae girls is very fitting and the translation always works. However, the girls' Christmas picture made me realize that Quinn is consistently the most... developed, up top; she always has a considerable amount of cleavage. It's not inappropriate or unfitting or ridiculous by any means (and I know ridiculous! It's my business! ), I was just wondering if this was something you translated from the comic, or if it was just a random transformation undergone from what you see in their young ages versus (what I believe to be) your usual slightly-older takes on them. The ratty hair also gets my attention, and I love that as well.
If I'm being too wordy or indirect, I apologize; I'm as to-the-point as the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. Still, absolutely great work.

Together with Syke we created Quinn (aka. Muerte) in a paintchat session. There wasn't any plan, she just showed up in our own puzzlement together while we were working on Collin's (her brother's) design. And I made the first halloween wallpaper shortly afterwards. This was months before she would show up in the comics and this puzzled the readers a lot. I guess her popularity came from her rather mysteriously mischevious appearance. I remember that the first wallpaper she was depicted with a see-thru netting and goth accessories with a cauldron (if I remember correctly), pumpkins and candle lights covering her up.
Back then she was depicted with lesser cleavage and with rattier hair. The reason was that we originally wanted her to look like a gothic punk rocker. So the first pictures of her was gothic with chains, rivets, spikes and such for accessories. She was transformed slowly by Syke into something else when she got in the comics. Goths aren't usually associated with fun and happyness like Quinn usually tries to convey (amidst the confusion she also usually generates).
I don't know when Syke decided Quinn to have a big set of honkers. But at one time when I drew her, the readers gave me a big fuss about how small "they" were in the Shivae Studios forum (in comparison with Syke). I didn't mind that she had bigger breasts so afterwards I corrected myself into drawing them a lot bigger.
There was a discussion on the Shivae Studios forum about Quinn's cleavage. It was stated she was a C-D cup. (Which is the same size as of my sister's).
Well, just wait for the final halloween wallpaper. I won't know which costume it will be until the 20th october. If the wallpaper war go well beyond our expectations there will be a more naughtier variant made of the winning costume. :3

Wow. So you're telling me you had a hand in the creation of the greatest character known to furrydom? All in all, I'm VERY happy with the way she turned out (Goths are kinda annoying).
This piece is awesome, as usual. But I thought Cyantians didn't have fingernails. What gives?

I just wanted her to look elegant. Fingernails do that. :3 I'm not sure if cyantians have claws in their hands or not. I believe they do but I might be wrong.

Hrm, to be honest, I'm slightly leaning towards the pirate, seeing as "Talk Like a Pirate" Day was a little while ago...and two of my friends will be doing that for Halloween as well.
And yes...yes I spotted the pun

There is something appealing with pirates to make them popular for halloween. I dunno if that would be because of the secret of Monkey Island maybe? :3
