for dragonwhishes
This image is for dragonwhishes, and it's of her original character - or at least, how I imagine she could look.

I hope it's something even vaguely right for you - it's hard drawing something out of someone else's head! I'm not sure if she looks like how you would have imagined her, but if not, just think of her as inspired by your character. But I hope you liiiiike! And I'm so so so sorry it took so long.

FUN FACTS:
• here is the black & white sketch, which I still really like.
• never watch a Massive Black tutorial midway through a drawing, you'll just cry.
• this is the first full-body rendering type thing I've done in forever and ever.
• this was done entirely with the chalk brush in photoshop.
• it nearly broke my head for some reason, maybe it's because I'm HIDEOUSLY OUT OF PRACTICE WITH CLOTHES.
• the final PSD file had 63 layers. WUT.
• thanks to speep, fluffyduck and also Dan and tachikoma, all of whom helped me find things to fix.
• Why is this list so long...?

So yes.

And the photo shoot went well - all that remains is to find out if the editor liked it. They're on holiday, but if I'm lucky, there'll be an email for me Monday morning going "YAY". Well, words to that effect.

Also I am so tired. And in love with the new Future of the Left album (<3 FALKO). And I'm moving house soon, how exciting is that? I should do an actual life post update some time soon...
