Finally it's done. I'm quite proud of the dress :)

This is Welue...you probably won't recognise her. In the last year she's transformed from a hair-phobic white girl with a height problem to a tall, lanky and severe-looking woman of unknown ethnic origins with gobs and gobs of golden curls. I enjoy revamping my characters and looking at them from different perspectives...the tone of this piece (I feel) reflects her personality better than I've managed before.

The crown is new too...I had a lot of trouble drawing different headpieces for each occasion, and realised that a nice old-fashioned crown would be better. Not exactly understated, but in a pinch, functional as an impromptu boomerang. I was inspired partially by Ursula's crown from The Little Mermaid =P

This was painted without any references, but when I was designing the dress, I had in mind a sort of kimono-meets-ballgown-meets-sci-fi. And since I spent a good bit of this week studying cellophane's effects on light distortion I designed a plastic-packing-wrap corset.

Hope you like! This is going on my website now :)

The crown is beautiful, brings to mind an Egyptian scarab, and the concept of "The horns of the moon", the divine femanine.

Wonderful design on the whole of the character, the headress is very striking. I love her elegant poise, her noble expression. Very nice indeed.

The hands are also very well done- I find drawing hands clasped together a real bitch.

Yay for delicate hands!!!

I often wish I had tapered fingers. My hands aren't really mannish, (well I hope not o.O) but I think they could be a bit moer... lady like. Lol HAND EMOS! :ohnoes:

Ugh my hands are oog-lay. I've got ugly knuckles and my fingers are short (but strong >.>;). They're dishwashing hands -_-
