Description

Submission for [Emerald Star]'s art contest on Gaia, of her original character Emerald.
Pencil sketch, line art in Photoshop, CGing in openCanvas and Photoshop. <3


Phew! I did not plan to do this at all. A long while ago I bookmarked Emmy's contest thread thinking I might want to draw for it, but other things kept me busy and all of a sudden there were only nine days left. Since I am very sick right now and also actually busy for someone else (at my own pace though, because she is a wonderful person :heart:) it seemed clear that I won't be able to make it for this contest.
But when I looked at the submissions there were only so few!! It is really sad; I think Emmy definitely deserves to get more art. I know I do not stand a chance for a prize because even though there are not many entries, some of them are extremely beautiful, and I only have a headshot to offer, but that is not my objective anyway. ^_^
I think it is the nightmare of everyone who holds a contest that there might not be enough participants. So yeah. This is +1. ^_^

Considering how long I take for pictures these days, this was a real quickie. o.O I started only yesterday morning and it's now past noon. Whoa! *feels a definite breeze*

Sadly though, I think I totally missed the character's um... character. ^.^; I think she looks far too mellow here. T-T
She actually looks a bit like my own OC, except that I never get to draw her in any half decent way. (I think it is because I try too hard. ^^;)
*worries* I hope Emmy will like it anyway. >.< *twitches*

I wonder if there's anything else I wanted to say... @.@ I talk too much. ^^
On the whole, I am really happy now, because I finished this and did not give up, and also because it helped me to grow more calm yesterday after I had been crying so hard.

Edit, May 3:

o.O When I logged on to Gaia less than an hour ago it made me curse very violently. That was entirely due to the waves of surprise and utter disbelief washing over me when I saw the trade and the description saying I won first place.
*is flattened to the ground at this point*
Just... whoa. @.@
I totally stand by everything I wrote here before, so you may understand why my mind still boggles. @.@ I hope the other participants are not mad at me. >.< I hope they do not think it was unfair! But at the same time I am so overjoyed that Emmy must have liked the picture!!
Mind you, there were not that many submissions, but some of them were really great! I'd never have thought....
Well, I said it already. ^^ Enough with the repetitions.

Another interesting thing is that generally people coming to my dA page seem to like this picture best of my gallery. ^^ Who'd have thought that? *happy confusion*

That's a great drawing! It's so weird, because my name is Emerald and I have blue eyes + brown hair! X3
