The Draconic Damsels

Posted Oct 25, 2005, 11:33:15 PM UTC

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALLIE!

I did actually have this done on your birthday, but the site was down and I couldn't upload it... *pout* Oh well, here it is.

From left to right: LadyAnime79, Mallie3, and Minimaid (me!). We are a medieval gang of kick-butt-ers! HA!

I had fun doing this. Trying to think of something simple for the background, though. It was a pain trying to get our faces to look right. I hope you like it, Mallie luv.

Robin! You did a marvelous job on this. Are the heights accurate? For some reasonI pictured you as the tallest in the bunch, Oh well. I must say though that the faces are dead on as I recognised who was who right away when I first looked at this. You are so darn good it's scary.

  No, the heights aren't accurate... Though I don't think I'm the tallest, am I? That would be REALLY weird. I'm not usually the tallest, being 5'3" and some-odd myself. But then, my wife is only 5' or something.... Anyhow, the fact is that we're all very close to the same height. I think Mallie's standing on a hill.
  
  I'm glad you recognised our faces! That was the tough part, and Kristy wouldn't cooperate! She kept trying to look like some annorexic supermodel. Not nearly as pretty as she is now, anyway.
  
  Sweet dreams, buddy!

  Oh that's so good to hear from you, Susie! I think it would be a lot of fun to do fantasy portraits of Paper Demon members, actually (other than the three of us, I mean).... That's a project to look into for the future, too.

  yeah it's such a great idea. Stealth Nerd did something sort of similar with her Glomp series.

  I guess she did, didn't she? That was so neat. It's fun to see those sorts of things from different artists, too, don't you think?

  Yeah I don't know what it is but something about it is just so facinating.

  perhaps it just makes us feel closer to people we're never very likely to meet.

  lol yeah that's it exactly. It would be cool though if we could all meet each other. Perhaps at a big anime convention somewhere.

  Yeah, it would be cool.. but those of us in different countries aren't likely to be able to make it. I know I don't have the money for plane tickets...

  I know you're short Mallie! I took in some artistic license for compositional purposes. You're wearing big tall boots. Or maybe standing on a hill...
  
  You're right, though. I think I DID make your torso too long. urgh. Your hips are twisted around al ittle, but I think they're ok. It's just the height of the torso... Damn. I don't think I can fix that one, either. *sigh* Oh well! I'm glad you like it. I hope you can live with those errors, though. Otherwise I will have to start all over again.
  
  Any particular (simple) background you might like to see?

Wow, this is really well done Robin! I love how the three of you look, the outfits and the expressions are wonderful. This makes me think of a Quidditch team, and it's some team you got here! You all look good but especially I loved how LadyAnime looks, spot on! Anyhow great job!

  *grin* Yeah, Quidditch in chain mail, hey? That would be something. Yeah, Lady Anime and I are pretty much spot-on... I'm not so sure if Mallie looks right, though, I'm still waiting on her opinion.
  
  Thanks for the coment, Maria!!

  The concept of it was Mallie's. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, and she asked for the three of us depicted as amazon warriors... I twisted that a little bit to give myself some artistic variation, but basically stuck to the fighting trio.
  
  Thanks as always for your comments and critiques, zac! I'm glad you like us.

  I didn't completely have to imagine it - you told me while I was making the cards which body types looked like yours, I think, and I took it from there. And yup - that's exactly how you put it.
  
  I rub you too! I hope Mal sees it soon - I'd like her opinion. I hope she looks like her...
