Description Aw, jeez. I tried to submit this and I had a long descrip. but Firefox froze on me. D: Well, I mentioned something about me loving to color with purple. xD

Well, this is one of Star Labyrinth's background characters, Desiree. She's almost 17... and I kinda based her off me only I made her cooler. xD She sees things both musically and artistically but more musically than anything. She's one of Tourniquet's singers. Her voice is supposed to be really awesome. Her fashion sense is really out-of-whack, which is a good thing. She likes to wear lots of purple sometimes. xD 'Tis her favorite color. That's why her hair is purple too. lol. Her face didn't turn out how I wanted it to... mainly because I've never drawn her or even invisioned her in anime-style before. Her face looks too pretty when she's supposed to be a bit of a tomboy. She's also Kashuu's ex-girlfriend... they were together in 8th grade when Kashuu got all emo-depressive after being single for several years after his fiance Rosette died. (Kashuu went to school and still does as cover. He was a former villain and now still attends school to get a college degree and become a writer.) They broke up becase they didn't have a real relationship and at the time she was 14 and he was 24, so... yeah. Now they're bestest friends and her and Paluu are really close as well. It's cute. Kashuu and her met while they were starting up their band and Paluu was still gaining her lost memories so she was virtually braindead. lol. (haha, my story's confusing.)

Designing the outfit for her was really fun. The sleeves were a bit of a problem though... but still, it turned out pretty good for my first time doing a combination of stripes on loose clothing. I did this with my Copics and with PSP X because I couldn't think of a good BG to use. So I whipped up a cheap one using a pre-loaded pattern and some brushes. lol. It looks kinda simple but good enough. I might just give it a BG and re-submit it sometime. Ehh, then again I'm really lazy and I might just leave the original BG-less. This is good enough. Well, enjoy! You guys can use her as a reference if you wanna draw her for the contest too!

MATERIALS USED: Copic black multiliners (.01 and .05), Copic sketch markers, Prismacolor white charcoal pencil, and touched up in PSP X as well as the BG. Big star brush is (c) ~iconstudios [link] Check out her brushes! Nice selection!

Cool character design! I like all of the detail you put into her outfit, and her face and pose came out perfectly! Good job on this.

Ooh, I'm always looking for good ideas that I haven't tried in design yet. I like simple two-color motifs like this, and her clothes definitely portray an artist (albeit an eccentric one, IMHO). Excellent design.

This is actually quite a refreshing image from the stuff I’ve been forced to criticize recently. The smaller details that most people tend to overlook and find ways to get out of doing was well implementing here. The fold lines, outfit, hair and fingernails not only match quite well with the background you added, but are all well drawn and in accordance to the characters proportions.

The facial expression is also drawn quite well. Very suitable features for the character; most notably the eyes which always take precedence in images of this quality. However the jaw line seems drawn a little too far into the face of the character; and if you’d flip the image you’d note the jaw line could use some expanding out to really keep the heads proportions balanced for the neck and collar bones.

Thank you, that really helped. Yeah, I noticed the thing about the jaw line after I finished inking it... I was like, "Noooooo! D:" I'll be more careful of that next time, I guess.

Navarre-Sojourner [2006-12-31 19:37:52 +0000 UTC]

Very pretty. The upper body seems a bit static in this pose, but the overall flow, as well as the coloring and stylization, are very well crafted. Perhaps a slight tilt to the head would help, but trust me when I say that can be really hard to pull of just right (I've lost a few sheets of paper trying to do such a thing for my drawings).
