Description This pic was fun to do but had bad things happen in the process, I like it that way. Art is no fun without a challenge.

So this is Melinda Fox an OC by . You should go check him out! He has some awesome art. Whenever I see it I get in the mood for a martial arts flick.

On a side note, I think I got a little carried away with the red layer of hair.

Done in: Prisma marker and pencil

Wow, that's so very cool and such a surprise! I'm so very pleased!

Great detail work. That chain is very time consuming isn't it? Cool pose and I love seeing the shaded tones here. I rarely shadowing or shade any of my pieces which really adds to my appreciation of this piece. Melinda Fox is a very detailed character, a challenge for me many times and I've been drawing her for a very long time.

I so very appreciative of you taking your time to draw this piece. It made my day. Many thanks indeed!

I always get warm fuzzies when I make somebodies day, so you're welcome!
I know for sure that you put more time into the chain than I did Yours is way more detailed than mine. I never noticed until I was researching your pictures that you don't do that much of shading but yet you can get away with it, your pictures look great without shading.

Your characters have always been fun to look at and I could not help myself but to try to draw one or two of them. So Thank you!

Thank you so very much for the kind words. Sorry too about the mis-spellings in my first reply.....I was excited!

It's such an honor to see this. What a cool pose you have her in here. Melinda Fox is certainally one of my favorite creations.

She is pretty darn cool! Though I must admit the hardest part of this project was choosing which character to do! They are all pretty awesome!

That's so very nice of you to say. Did you have any trouble with drawing Melinda Fox? Looks as if you got all of those fine details others sometime miss on her jacket, outfit. This piece looks like it took some time to create.

Ihha In reply to LavenderBlade [2009-02-22 16:56:55 +0000 UTC]

The markers caused some problems. The bloody things kept bleeding all over! It took me about 6 hrs I think. The really hard part was finding the right pose for her, and especially how she was holding her weapon. Other than that I kept on looking at the artwork you did of her so I can find all the details. I think the one thing I goofed up on was that red layer of hair, I guess I was seeing it totally different than how you designed it. Oh well, I think its looks pretty good!

LavenderBlade In reply to Ihha [2009-02-24 17:23:54 +0000 UTC]

Poses can certainly be tricky. I like how her hair looks kinda tousled, as if she's just taken off her mask. Her hair can be a challenge with the layering, but you did fine here. Maybe I should do a character sheet of some of my principal characters for better reference?

Looks pretty good indeed. So who were the other characters that you considered drawing before deciding on Melinda Fox, if I may ask?

Ihha In reply to LavenderBlade [2009-02-24 19:23:05 +0000 UTC]

They were JC Fox, Valerie Fox, and Gina Nackiomi.
I guess I chose Melinda Fox cuz she is strong, and bold looking, and she has such an awesome outfit.
To tell the truth I have another sketch that hasn't been colored yet. It was one of the original ideas for Melinda Fox but it didn't fit the attitude I wanted it to have, but it fit another of your charcters nicely.

LavenderBlade In reply to Ihha [2009-02-24 20:03:42 +0000 UTC]

You couldn't go wrong with any of those characters.

Boldness, strength, power, intelligence, and being overall conservitive in her dress and nature is how I see Melinda Fox. She is my muse, her two sisters very much so too.

You've got my curiosity going regarding this other sketch.

Ihha In reply to LavenderBlade [2009-02-24 20:22:35 +0000 UTC]

I thought you might be, but I have a painting I need to finish first. So you'll have to wait a little bit.
I must admit I haven't read your story yet, but I hope so soon. But even though I haven't read it, your drawings themselves make the characters awesome!

Any fan-art is a valued gift no matter when it comes. I was so surprised with this Melinda Fox piece. I'll be happy whenever any new pieces come.

I have several short stories I wrote over the past few years on my current website. More indepth stories are in the works. I hope to have a revised website up by April. Would it be okay with you if I share this image in the fan-art section with links to your page and any other created you'd like?
