EDIT=Mascot Contest Entry: Help Part II! [FINISHED PRODUCT]

Joamette Gil's picture
Help! Joamette Gil - Friday, January 5, 2007 - 23:24

Here's the finished product guys. I might change it some more later, or I might just leave it this way--depends on how I feel. :) I could've done more with it, but I'm happy with it overall. You don't have to critique if you don't want to; I just wanted to share with you guys. ^_^


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alrighty, guys! I've inked this sucker, and I'm ready to start coloring her. :D The drawing is still definitely flawed, but I would like to kindly ask that no critiques be given in this thread. I'm fully aware of what mistakes are left (and the new ones I made x_x), but time is of the essence. Those of you who have no idea what the hell I'm talking about might want to read this.

What I would like from my dear boarders now is some suggestions on...
COLOR!

Hair, eyes, outfit: the works. I would also like to here some suggestions on what to do with her shirt (the original butterfly-ish ornament on it didn't make the final cut). Should it be left as is? Should it have some type of pattern or design? Should a new ornament be devised?

Thanks in advance for the help. :) *hugs to all*

Her wings remind me of my wingies! Gwee ^_^
Do you want fellow MPer's to take a crack at coloring it? or just suggest colors? I need to practice coloring, so would you mind if i took a crack at it?

I LOVE IT!!! The Face, The eyes!!! IT"S SO PRETTY!!!! *sqeee*

Ok, I love orange hair... but green hair is truly funky (in an awesome way!) I like the Shirt as is, it reminds me of the sailor scouts suit (just missing the bow) I always loved sailor Jupiter's suit, so maybe those colors could be used for the top (dark green and pink, or orange and blue). Oooo, and the patch on the parasol could be red with white dots (like a hobo!) I don't think the skirt should be black, because it would blend in with the boots too much, so Green?! I don't know... I think I am adding too much green... geesh. But I am leaaaning towards the colors of Green, Red, Orange, Black + a little pink here and there!

AWESOME!!!!

I am printing this out to use as a coloring sheet!

I'd have to color it myself

Joamette Gil; Saturday, January 6, 2007 - 07:18

I'd have to color it myself since it's for a contest, but you're welcome to color it for fun, Niela. I can't wait to see what you do! ^_^

I'm glad you like it so much, Iko! :D And yeah, I kind of noticed your fascination with green...;p but I'm not even sure if the boots will be black (that wouldn't work out to well if the con people decide to put her on black t-shirts...x_x).

I was considering coloring her in a rainbow-ish style, kind of like a "raver." I'm still undecided about that, though.

If I do the rainbow thing, I'd still have to make sure the colors don't completely clash with eachother. ~.~

Color......*O* *faraway

Caramel; Sunday, January 7, 2007 - 21:42

Color......*O* *faraway gaze*

*cough* Okay, color. RED! Red is most eyecatching. ^^

I think a little purple on the parasol would do nicely. And some other color for the wing with feathers (White is so...white. Pink, green, blue, maybe? Gold?).

Ah, hair. I saw a waiter with patches of green and blue in his black hair (When I say 'patches', they're not perfectly like a lpatch. Um...). That was cool. So maybe black hair tinged with blue or green at the bottom?

Brilliant.

I'll keep that in mind, tk, thanks! :) I certainly won't be making her blonde, then, if staying away from the common is what I'm trying to do.

Unofortunately, my friends,

Joamette Gil; Tuesday, January 9, 2007 - 14:05

Unofortunately, my friends, due to my poor time management skills, I was unable to make the deadline for the contest. Woe is moi. :(

I only hope that whoever does win does a better job than I; that way, I'll feel content that a) something even better than what I came up with will be on the shirts and b) be consoled by the notion that I probably would have lost anyway. :)

I'm still going to finish it and share with you guys, of course! Later today, God-willing. ;3

I recommend...

quamp; Tuesday, January 9, 2007 - 23:53

Blonde hair (the headband is reminiscent of Chii from Chobits,) a red or pink blouse, and a light pink, white or yellow skirt. The umbrella should be pink, and the feathers a white or tan color.

Joamette Gil; Wednesday, January 10, 2007 - 00:12

As a matter of fact, I made her hair whitish... platinum blonde I think it's called? Although it's a bit late for color suggestions, I thank you all the same for your input, Quamp. ^_^*

I doubt I did it in the way you had in mind, Ikonowi, but the main color of the piece is green. :)

I love the colours!

There are completely different from what I thought they would be, the good kind of different.

You don't usually see darker skinned people wearing green, at least I don't, she looks really good in green.

Hee, just out of curiosity, what'd you think they'd be Reiko? ^_^

Thanks! I like it too. I actually picked the color green by mistake when I was about to start her clothes. When I saw the green and brown next to each other I had one of those "Duh! Of course!" moments.

Hmm... she looks like a Christmas elf... dressed up for Halloween... with a stolen unbrella from the Easter rabbit......o.0

But seriously...

I gave you permission to color it yourself if you wanted, Iko. I never said you could alter my finished product.

Joey is not happy.

In a good way! ^^
You know, like when you pull out a blade of grass and the inside tip is white and stuff.

(and nice copyright2007 thing... my bad... I took the time to color it on my own, not to add salt to injury or nothing. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g31/ikonowi/ASPMCE_LINEARTsample.jpg )

Well, I was playing around with the lighting options on Corel Painter wanting to get that effect but it diddn't work, so actually I used the sharpen tool and adjusted the shadow and highlight and it just turned out to be a nice effect.
