Description Am I Pretty now?
Based off Uglies, Pretties, and Specials buy the best young adult scifi writer EVER: Scott Westerfeld. He rocks my socks, and I can't wait for his new book coming out SOON (I hope).

So, yeah. In case you haven't read the books: In a futuristic world 300 something years from now, on your 16th birthday you go though an intense surgery transformation. They replace your bones with this airplane plastic that is SUPER tough and doesn't break. Your vision becomes perfect, even better than 20/20. Your face is reconstructed to be perfectly symmetrical. Big eyes, full lips, small nose, flawless skin. You become so perfect that in today's society you would be considered scary. Anyone that hasn't had the surgery is an Ugly. Everyone who has had the surgery is a Pretty. It's society at the worst, where you can't love yourself for who you are, but for how you look.

Anyways, I was inspired by [link] by ~crystalbtrfly07 . Hers is WAY better than mine (Don't download mine if you know what's good for you! It's rather bad...). I might be doing more of these...

Cheers everyone!

P.S. The tattoos on her face are supposed to spin and move with her heartbeat. It's called a "surge" and is really popular among Pretties. It's like normal tattoos for us, except animated.

Veery Nice
It's almost like a tribal tattoo. But diffrent

An idea would be to shade out the edges of the hair and her shoulders to melt more into the "blackness" So it doesn't look so supercontrasty.

Thanks! I really should have fixed the outline of the hair... but I spent freaking hours on this, and got lazy
And, actually, the tattoos ARE from a tribal tattoo set I just used them becuase the face was too boring.

Myes myes, the mortal enemy of all artists... laziness!
Well... If it had been just a face... It would have been boring... Wait... Isn't much of my artwork just a face without anything on it or around it?
No-no! I spend a lot of time getting the expressions right! Mhm... Well... You also needed the tattoo to get it right for the backstory on the picture ^^
