Dewi's Dress :x

-- Awesome dress from/ owned by Dewi Woo @ http://ningyohime-.blogspot.com/
I decided to name the doujinshi "*ONiGiRi~". I made one of the main character's clothing made after Dewi's dress, and here is the unfinished product, haha. :'> Except, this is probably mainly a picture for Dewi and because I said i'd use the dress. But the character will not look like this. Her attire will remain the same, maybe with a few different designs, but her hair and face will not be the same. I'll be doing the character sketches maybe later today or tomorrow. But mostly likely of the second main character.

I was trying to figure out if I should color the dress using my black gel ink pin, but then you wouldn't really be able to see the ruffle creases. It would have been alright if I just sketched it, but I went on and inked it, then colored. I'm actually disappointed in how this came out, because in my mind, it was totally different. You can't see the line very well, since it's in pencil, but there in the background, there's suppose to me trees, lots of them, and she's suppose to be balancing herself on the train track. But it was late and I was suppose to get up early. It took me almost 2 hours to sketch and ink it. Then another hour and a half to color and highlight her hair. Speaking of her hair, it's horrible. The shape isn't so bad, since she's suppose to be leaning, but with the colors, you're suppose to form shadow and tint. Just like with the ruffles on the dress or any shadow or tint. But with the hair, there, I lacked completely. The color didn't even show much because I rushed when coloring it. It's suppose to be brown with red-purple highlights. But since the brown was too light, I added black, which was a mistake. Made it look dirty and thick. So I tried to re-lighten it with yellow, but it made it look like a red-ish pink hair color, lol.
The skin sucks because I used peach at first, but she just looked like an ordinary white girl. I wanted her to have a peachy yellow-ish golden orange type pigment like Dewi since she's Asian. A lot like Ayumi's skin in my current header.. So my dumb ass lightly added yellow, not knowing yellow could be so loud. And what makes it worse, the scanner added even more contrast, so now she looks like someone from the Simpsons, ugh. x/
The shoes were modeled after Jessica Simpson's (I have a pair of her shoes) but with a red sole and a heel. The originals are ballerina flats.
The leg warmers are also modeled after me, but the ones I have where the Onigiri is, was originally a star. I'm starting to think I should of just kept it a star. =/
The bracelet modeled after those big ball bracelets, I love them :D
Anyway, I gotta do the background. Her make up sucks.. she was suppose to be anime like, but I guess it's cool she's like more human, :P
All for now
See yah~
