new version 2/09 just small tweaks...
Natural Memories... Unnatural Dreams?
Symbolism... the lemon tree symbolizes friendship.
The contrast of red and green could be inorganic vs. organic (tree vs. machine, greenery vs. metal).
You can see some papers at the bottom... the poem that the doctor gave Dot is there.
There's more if you like to read into images (: I'll let it speak for itself.
This picture of Dot & Ermine was inspired by the Comic Circle, written by *indecision. Beautiful work
This literally took about 2 weeks of hours. I loved it to pieces, but I am glad to be done. Magic. I learned even more efficiency with this program... (if that's possible)...
Also, I didn't use dodge/burn.... why is that tool considered such a sin??? I don't use it often... but sometimes for speed and darkening existing shading... it would be nice. I might cave & make a second version of this.
Hmm... I even researched albinism to make Ermine look realistic. His eyes may look odd at first because his eyelashes are very light.
This file ATE my computer, sometimes it chalked up to 2GB in program, and that's all the RAM I have to run it!!!! D: fun times, hahaha
All in all it was a great experience. I hope you love it, Josceline!!
the GIMP 2.4 + scanned lineart
All textures are from my personal files, which includes royalty-free textures from this site and others... (perfectly fine for printing). I also made several brushes... whew.
Dot & Ermine (c) to *indecision Josceline Fenton
Art (c) to me =Catiris you can't even touch it without my permission!! x,D
The original is HUGE. Download for a scaled down version that still shows the details.

I'm so antisocial it's not nom nom nom nom nom
It's amazing. All of the colours, the patterns, the design of her dress... Everything! It's beautiful.
It seriously was a huge effort. But I loved drawing the details in their costumes and everything.
Thanks again! <3
Symbolism is one of my favorite things to bury deep in art. I wish every one of my pictures could tell an intricate story.
we have to pick any piece of art and i have to criticize it. and i wanna use urs. [im not saying that its bad or anything] i just wanna showoff ur art. lol.
Though I'm curious, are you going to print it off?
If anyone asks about the artist you can always give them the e-mail I have on my dA page C:
Huge dress is huge.
BTW, do you know if M. Alice LeGrow has a DA?
haha.... HUGE indeed. As in hugely detailed fun.
I just found her dA the other day! (scrolls through 5min worth of webcomic pages in browsing history). That would be *sadwonderland
Oh hey, I remembered (well, more like rediscovered) the manga I was talking about, the one that was one of my first introductions to drawing characters like dolls... It's called "Alichino".
Beware of massive "pretty"
You and your details.
That's great- thanks!!! My friend (the one that gave me my tablet) is a HUUUUGE fan of hers. She adores Bizenghast.
That's teh animal-turny-humnan one right? I think I remember.
Tablet = best present ever.
Yes, the "Alichino" are demon-like creatures with the power to shapeshift. So one of them has two common forms, an owl and a little girl.
Agreed.
I remember.
Ah, not really. It was quite vague, at best. It got a little more curious as it developed the side character's history, but that doesn't look very promising for the main character. Still quite vague, or just not deeply developed, at best. Although it might have been, if the author could have continued the series. I read she broke her drawing hand and decided to abandon the series.
I'm curious, do the colors look very highly saturated? On my monitor there are a few rich shades that are not extremely vibrant, for contrast. But sometimes when I print the colors look very bright.
^^ i like the details so much
The details were very fun and time consuming Cx
Voting is open, by the way x3 [link]
I will definitely keep it up
The contest voting is open now, but no pressure [link] ._.;
Best wishes for your BA!
