Artist's Comments
A belated present for ~skydestinies. She & I have the exact same birthday. So, clearly we're twins. And clearly I needed to draw my separated-at-birth-twin a 21st present.
This is her gorgeous character, Vanilla/Vanille. I've always wanted to draw her but never got around to it. Alas, she's supposed to be a coy & sweet, but it seems I've interpreted her as a vampire socialite/fashionista..? It was meant to be a speedpainting but I clearly got carried away with it. Some parts are rendered wayyy more sharply (ie. her face) than others (ie. everything else) because I swear to god I have Painter's ADD or something. And ooh man, I know there are heaps of mistakes/inconsistencies! My excuse is I did this at 6am, harhar? I promise to fix them up. This was really therapeutic, though. The colours are just so soft/gentle & I loved making this all girly 'n pretty like. Ruffles & lace & ribbons ohohoho my. EDIT; Changed the colours a bit. She seemed a bit too jaundiced for my liking. Also felt the creamier/textured background works better. More to change later (per all your crits EDIT2; Tried to address all the crits: rendered her arms/torso/dress in a little more detail, adding deeper shadows. Made her expression a little more pronounced. Wacom Intuos2 Tablet, Paint Tool SAI & Adobe Photoshop CS3. Reference used for the hand. Textures from CGtexture.com. Vanilla © ~skydestinies CommentsOh those ruffles!
The ring detail is such a sweet touch. Goes wonderfully with the colour palette. -- Shop Acrylicana FAQ wow this is so soft and beautiful!! I love the hair so much and the way you painted her face! The yellow eyes are so beautiful! <3
-- My etsy shoop UFO My ADORABLE icon was made by ~horribletak This is gorgeous, I especially love her hair/face.

All around excellent. My only criticism is that the neck might be a little too long and narrow. Doesn't really look like it could support her head. Otherwise great though.
