my bb Veloce :> I can't tell what is it about it that I don't like! maybe she needs to be CRYING YEAH

details: [link]


I think this design suits her more than the red one I've drawn before, that one looks too serious/high class/extravagant/old on her and I want to keep a little youthfulness and restlessness to her. Obviously she's always serious and boring but beyond her demeanors she's not a very well grounded person.

I still haven't done much with this design so it's really unbalanced and that's probably why I don't like it. The most important part of this design is the yellow waist sash and is the only reason I made this generic design LOL. It came from the pope's attire, and I really like it as a religious symbol, I don't really know who gets to wear it irl or what it represents (I don't even know what it's called if it has a name LOL) but I want to incorporate this as something worn by high ranking clergymen, or people respected by/looked up to by the religious order in my world.

No, forget tears. Go for the aftermath of a rainstorm with her clothes all soaking wet and sad. In any case, I just think it would look cool with some painted water details. I'd also prefer to see this as a landscape painting and see the rest of the ruined stairs. Lovely bronze decorations. I don't think this outfit needs anymore detail. I could see her going to war in this, and while some flash is good, too much would be plain impractical for battle. That being said, extending those shin guards into full boots would be another part of practicality. You never know what you might step on in the heat of things.

I love your work! The textures are just amazing~ and I'm sure people have told you this before. :iconnosebleedingplz:

If you don't mind me being nosy, do you paint all the colours on one layer? Or do you paint them separately? Like clothing on one layer, and skin on another? There's so many different ways to colour on sai and photoshop I don't know which tutorials to follow. :icononionfailplz:

do whatever you feel most comfortable with, in other words: you have to try them all yourself and there's no shortcut for it~

I painted most of this on one layer. But I tend to start a new layer when I try to correct something or draw a new small detail (ie. jewelry) so that I can move it around freely, and delete it easily if I don't like where it's going. Generally when I'm done with that part I would merge it down.
