Artist's Comments

I've seen so many people around here on DA with different personas they draw themselves as, i thought i'd draw one side of me, a girl who i'll call Scarlet. I guess she is the real bit of me; rebellious, crazy-haired and a love of industrial/bondage-inspired styles of clothing. She comes out of me quite a lot (ask my boyfriend after he's had a beating) and i guess she is me.

Well, just a little bit of me, anyway ;)

Referenced from a photo of myself, but yes, i know the legs are a bit wonky ;) Pencilled, inked, scanned and photoshopped.

Hey! Nice! ^0^
The coloring and cell(cel?)-shading is very clean and professional, and I like the pinks and brown/blacks (or, rather, the sort of black a black cat turns when it's left in the sun too long). All-around, very cute! No real problems I can see here; her legs are a bit long in proportion to the rest of her body, but I know that a lot of artists do this as a stylistic quirk and I don't see that as a bad thing. ^^
Aaaanyhow...very cute! I hope you have fun with her. ^^

I heard the door close
not slamming, but slinking shut
in an unfortunate and unhappy desire to be undetected
as if secrecy could lessen the pain....
