HoneyPossum

This image was actually drawn as my submission for Bullsnake's "Beautiful Girl Contest." I really wanted to draw something new for this so I got to work right away (I was actually pretty excited to do this).

I decided that I wanted to do a redhead, because you don't see them much. So I thought and thought, and for some reason, I had gotten Alice In Wonderland in my head. Then I saw some Wonder Woman stuff, and somehow, the connection happened and you have the sultry and sexy Queen of Hearts. ^-^

Every colour in this is based in red, pink, or orange. . . EXCEPT. . . the green eyes. The colour really did add a lot to the picture. I was contemplating just leaving it in black and white, but the addition of the colour (via coloured pencil) really gave it a new edge that I like.

What else? Oh, as much as I LOVE this picture, I don't think it'll win the contest. But that's okay. there a lot of really good artists entering (including Zakuman), who'll probably blow me out of the water.

But, thanks to Bullsnake for inspiring me to do this by giving me an invitation to his contest. I really do appreciate it, and I hope that he at the very least likes it. ^-^

Okay, just a quick addition. I don't know if you saw, but Bullsnake officially awarded me the "no prize". What that means is that I don't ACTUALLY get a prize, but I get some very nice recognition for being the first person to submit a picture which was made specifically for the contest. I appreciate it. ^-^

This is soo cool! Like you said, the red hair makes all the difference! Your Queen of Hearts is quite sexy and your colors work! Good job...

The Co-Judge SEZs:

"First off, the way you incorporated the heart element into this image is really nice. The chair matches her dress, cape, and wand.

The image itself is good on the whole. The coloring is a little scribblishous, even in places where I believe it's upposed to be opaque. The outfit is really sexy, and well designed. The hair is handled well.

Overall it's a good image. I can't find anything in particular that's problematic.

Compared to your other stuff, it's pretty on par, if not better than most. The only image I would have liked to see submitted would be "Nasty Red Riding Hood". That image, despite being NC17, is much nicer than either of your entries.

This one is suitable for V-day..if you see a Valentine's Day contest later on, make sure you submit her. XD "

Bullsnake says:

Pretty good. I think it'd be nicer with some bolder coloring and some heavy line-work. Having a consistant line-weight throughout a pic makes it look a little like something found in a coloring book.

Vary the line weight, make certain areas thicker and you'll increase the depth of the image.

I like that you added a background..and like Co-J said.. I can't really find anything terribly wrong about it.. nothing I can really say that you won't eventually learn to overcome yourself thru practice.

The scratchy, light coloring can be avoided by either buying some heavier paper (bristol board or an equivalent..something smooth) and getting some waxier CPs.. Crayola's don't do so bad.. you have to press down fairly hard to get a good color out of them though.

You won the No-Prize for quickest submission..but I'm afraid it didn't go all the way to winning an actual award.

Sorry, but thanks for entering anyway. ^_^

>> Woah! That is soooo cool! I love the color! It's really pretty! And I really like her outfit. e.e Before I saw the picture, I was thinking of the Disney Queen of hearts.
._. I'll never look at her the same way again...
Anyway, great job!
