Description It's done! *collapses* I swear I haven't had a harder time choosing colors. Especially since my sister was *not* helpful at all- I asked her what color dragon she wanted to be, and she couldn't figure it out. So I suggested a nice, cheerful, light yellow, as that describes her pretty well- cheerful and bubbly and happy (for the most part ).


But she flatly refused.
Then she suggested that I make her white with hints of all sorts of colors all over.

My turn to flatly refuse.

As you can see, I ended up making her yellow, as I am the artist and she is getting this as a gift so she doesn't need that much say in it anyways.
Plus, I asked my mom, who is an avid scrapbooker and therefore a good second opinion on color, and she liked it and said that my sister probably just couldn't visualize it properly.

So she's yellow.

Btw, this is my take on a photo of the two of us- you know, one of those really fun (and really expensive) old fashioned photos? I'm my persona [link] and my sister is a Bubble Dragon (she made them up- they're fat little dragons that blow indestructable bubbles... but I left out the 'fat' part ). It's sorta fitting, actually, that we're both dragons here. 'Cuz like, we're going to go see "How to Train Your Dragon" for her birthday on Tuesday, and very likely tonight as well.

So, to take a break from other people's characters before I jump right back to drawing them, I'll have to try to figure out whether I should do something exclusively black and white, or attempt to start and finish a KoP page. Any suggestions?

Characters are mine and my sister's, art is mine, don't use.

This is really cute and I can't believe how much stuff in here I've never actually seen.

This is really classy looking.

You weren't going for a western dragon pun there, were you?

The clothing, especially, is wonderfully elaborate and elegant. The image is very detail-rich, too, which I like.

Also great to see you incorporate your family in your artwork like that

I could see you using an "old photo" filter/color to really make it shine.

Absolutely beautiful, my friend. I don't even know where to begin. The colors, the poses, the style-- everything is "just right". ^^

I see somebody gave herself a gun. >3

Thanks! Haha, of course- just in case. After all, what can you do with a fan? Give someone a papercut? XD

Well, martial artists have been using the fan as an extension of the arm for centuries... ^^

Truuuuuuuue... but why bother getting into that sorta stuff if you can just take out your opponent at a much greater distance? After all, I don't want to get blood on my nice clean white dress.

Because you can punch faster than you can reload. XD

But if you're an accurate shot, you won't need to reload. >

Absolutely. "One shot, one kill", and all that.

This is really nice! Even just visually you two seem to have very distictive personalities shine through. The costumes are lovely <3 I really want to do one of those historic photo things one day, if I ever have the money!
And oh wow! I cant wait to see that movie, its coming out in a week or so, it looks really good!

Yubria In reply to Naoru [2010-03-29 00:27:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm wondering how accurately this shows my personality. XD These photos are really fun to do- if you ever get a chance, though, make sure you go to a place that lets you pick out your own costume. It's way more fun that way.

The pinnacle of Victorian gone totally... right. The expressions are so suiting, what with your sassy eyes and your sister's more youthful stare.

Whoa, just noticed the pistol. That just completed the whole picture for me. xD

You draw those giant dresses so well. The art itself is also quite clean. Magnifica!

Lol, thanks! I was going for more of a mischievous look on both of us, but that sorta didn't come out, and I don't like inking enough to redo anymore.
XD I insisted on the pistol. It made for awkward posing (you know, making sure I'm not pointing it at my sis or something, although it *still* looks like I'm pointing it at her knee XD). Big dresses are so much fun!
