Vexed's Things and Doings

[Vexed]

Oh cool! I'm not familiar with the anime but doing a google image search - I like her! She looks like a proper bad-ass red-head. I can totally see the resemblance hehe.

My personal take on the colors:

Spoiler

I'd add a glam detail to the bottom of the dress (I randomly picked silver stars, but something significant would work better probably).

 

[Vexed]

Ooooh cool! That certainly gives me some ideas! Thanks Luna

I'm gonna steal those ideas experiment a little later. Right now I'm starving!

it's not you it's me. I have higher standards than most people about modesty. I still like your art, and I don't totally agree with your aunt, I could just understand her point of view.

Smoking is cool ergo CJ is cool.

Always love your artwork Vexed, thanks for sharing! You do an amazing job of balancing details and not making it look cluttered, that's really unusual for a chibi style.

 

[Evan Finkel]

You have incredible works, Vexed. Love all, CJ, cool concept. SHE SMOKES!

I love how your characters are cute but still exude strength and badassery. I actually quite enjoy the colors on your most recent girl too... and I don't find her to be hoochie looking. Her skirt is short, but part of the chibi style is exaggeration. My brain automatically makes that translation for me, so I envision her as someone more like this (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z3P45_3Aut0/UQmGKd-PDhI/AAAAAAAAJTI/0T7kDOetgHk/s640/IMG_1914.JPG) than this (

).

[edit: Just thought I'd add that maybe you can punch up the emphasis on the dress by making the material shiny. You can maintain your color scheme but the textural difference will draw the eye to the center.]

Thank you! So kind

@Spectrum - Yeah, I have quite a few characters with vices and bad habits. I grew up around a lot of smokers and worked in nightclubs and lived in really rough neighborhoods so to me, people with vices are the norm. I in no way encourage or endorse smoking or any other potentially deadly habit but at the end of the day, I smoke and so do other people

@Pocketmole - Thanks Yeah, definitely closer to the first image than the second was what I had in mind haha.

I really like the idea of making the material a little shiny. I'll try that out when I have a little time to go back to these - which will hopefully be soon~

@Vexed: That sounds cool though.
