Artist's Comments

Oh. My. god. The detail the detail!
This took me so long to finish ;-;

The lineart was done by the sublime =Michelle84 and is actly pencil (:O) Thanks so much for letting me colour! Had to much fun (and hand ache) with this! :heart: Though not allll the lineart was done by her... ;) im hoping you didn't notice when looking at the picture (as was my aim) but the character on the far rights lineart was done by me! I added my anime character Fluke to the mix, trying to make it in the style of the others, I think I did okay, she looks slightly different but the colours bring them all together (I hope) XD Did you notice? I hope you don't mind Michelle ^^;

Okay guys, if you didn't already know each of the people are diffetrent peoples characters :D From left to right:

Vanilla © ~showkaizer
Iris © =Michelle84
Lotus © ~BlackLotusPro
Lilac © =frozenlilacs
Fluke © *DestinyBlue ~me!

You may think my characters name looks a bit odd as it is the only no non flower name, but fear not! By scary coincidence she has a flower as her middle name; Rose, awwwww. Fluke Rose Luma-Nigh in all :D It makes sence really XD

At first I was going to colour the characters in exclusivley indian colours, like brights reds and greens and things, but it looked a bit uninteresting so I decided to use the main colour from their original designes on their outfits in this picture :DThe result is a but eclectic, but I really like it and hope it makes the characters personalities come throught more and makes them more recognizable ^-^ I also gave them henna! I hope no one minds, its the safe brown type so it wont hurt your characters ;) hehe, I just thought it was a nice little touch with them being in india and all ^^

30 hours.
This was alllll done in OpenCanvas with no textures or special brushes :P That fire was evil to do >-> im still not 100% happy with it.

With this picture I wanted to do two things: to have the initial *wow* impact (hoppefully achieved by the fire but only made possible by the superb lines) and also to get people looking at the detail and finding new things each time they look.

Normally I don't comment on collaborations, since I feel DeviantArt is first and foremost for developing our own skills, but you've done some excellent coloring.

Wow. O_O *<--initial impact*

That picture is so amazing! The detail . . . the colors! It's incredible! And only in OpenCanvas? I commend you, for you are amazing. I adore the shading in their hair and on their skin . . . and the tattoos on Lilac right there up front? *faints* You are amazing. The only thing I really have to say is that Fluke looks a bit forced in (her arm around Lilac looks très unnatural). Besides that . . . *FAVS*

<3

Yay! *dances* at least I got the 'Wow' impact I was hoping for! :hug:

Yeah.. I know ^^; fluke does lok very stiff in comparison because Michelle has the amazing power to make her figures look so fluid (somthing which im woking on) and as michelle didnt draw lilac for fluke to have her arm though it looks a little odd also XD but I anted there to be interacton between the characters so fluke didn't look to tacked on ^^

Anyway thanks loads for your comment and :+fav:

Big :hug: for you! hehe

Wow, the level of detail is amazing... The colors and designs are absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful characters, and awesome b/g. I just can't get over the detail you put into their costumes and henna, though, it's just stunning. I especially like the blue-haired girl.
