another avatar doodle that exploded into a full blown illustration. i've got a few of these stashed for those slow times when i'm in a slump. this was when i had my avatar wearing simply the wind security blanket and the demonic pendant. i liked the atmosphere so much that i decided to forego the pendant since i thought that it would detract from everything else. this piece also signifies a collab between my boyfriend and i, since it's been awhile since we've put our heads together to color something. most of the time he's there to give me direction on detail, but here he did the clouds and the atmosphere, and i mostly worked on the girl and blanket and the overall design.

sketched and colored on photoshop.

I'm still conflicted about your style. Your technique is obviously amazing but...

well, I hate her face. I was all grown up before Bratz came out so it's not nostalgic to me. Could also be that I'm not a huge fan of the overly-made-up look in real life, so the caricature of overly-overly-made-up is an a version for me.

i sort of feel the same way, about the style. Now that he mentioned it, it does have that super deformed super made up quality akin to a bratz doll. I reall dont like those things.

otherwise, i think this is a fantastic collaboration. although i now little about your boyfriends work, i sort of gather that he's got a style very different than yours, or at least it's going in a different direction. It makes your collabs look interesting, both your techniques manage to come together really well.

I have to agree with the other comments said here. neutral Your coloring skills are pretty much genious and executed very well, but I just don't like the style of this character. She feels much too simple for such a detailed, lovely method of coloring.
