Description

This is my entry for the wonderful *Lasaro and =pandabaka's contest. Basically you had to draw a character (could be an OC or someone else's) cosplaying as someone else. And... well... this is my entry.

I wanted to use Pearl, as I drew a model and then realised it couldn't be Krystal or anyone else, as all the proportions were wrong. And I suffer from the hate of mass pink. And you know what? All the good brunettes wear pink. Go look. Tenten, Aeris, Kairi... So that sucks for Pearl. In the end I decided to go with the uber cool Princess Ai, who is blonde, but I was desperate, and I love Misaho Kujiradou's costumes. This particular one is the dress from the title page to chapter 2. The splodgy things are my vague attempt to mimic the background as well, although when I tried adding anything else it mucked up. And since the original image is b/w, it meant that I could chose whatever colours I wanted. And brunettes look pretty good in purple. It's not that pink.

Anyways, I genuinely hope I win. The prizes on offer are an art book from *Lasaro and a piece of gift art from =pandabaka and I would soooo love them. As would all the other 70+ entrants.

Media: WHSmith watercolour pencils, Faber-Castell PITT artist pens, Gimp for the lace. The lace is my own pattern which I painstakingly created just for this. If this should be in a different gallery because of this, I shall move it.
