Croissant power!So - here's for the 's secret santa.
I obviously got Ariana; belonging to , and I must admit it was a LOT harder than I thought it to be at first; mainly because I've already drawn her before...
But let me explain:
I wanted to draw something proper - not just my usual sketchy stuff, but a proper drawing and all. But that is very hard when you don't really know the character that well, and I do know *about* her, but I don't know *her* (does that makes sense?)
Unfortunately I do not have the time to read her fanfictions - not before the end of the submission at least -
but then yesterday I suddenly went all ´wait a minute?!; she's a magic-lady, she goes to the worlds of ´normals´; she should disguise herself as a modern happy-go-lucky-ducky lady... OR something...
No, I just wanted to give her some fancy clothing that wasn’t a dress; and this was quite tricky as I’ve never drawn ‘cutesy’ and feminine clothing like this before;
(I must draw attention to the fact that I got her clothing design from the very talented [link] (I could not, for my life, come up with such a beautiful yet causal clothing like that)
Anyhoo; Hope you like it nonetheless Amanda
Oh yeah, the butterfly is magical and Ariana belongs to
And pleeeeease – if you are going to fave please leave a comment - a lot of work has been put into these pieces!
Oh, I am not finished ranting - I feel like I should mentioned the songs I was listening to whilst drawing;
Suddenly I see by KT Tunstall
Faith by George Michael
Life less ordinary by Carbon leaf
Angels by the baseballs

She's really gorgeous. I love the unconsciously happy expression on her face, so sweet

DAH! LOVELOVELOVELOVE!!! I am SO in love with this. Absolutely without question! Even without reading her story, her personality really shines through here, and I am SO pleased that you were the one to draw her. I LOVE the outfit you chose, as I haven't really braved drawing her in anything aside from a dress (I'm SO bad at legs ;__; ), but she would TOTALLY wear something like this. I love the butterfly you threw in, too, ha!
Your idea sort of fits anyway, too, because she goes to the Normal world and SO longs to be a Normal like everyone else and NOT a magical lady. So this works!
Thank you SO so much. <3

No nada - I'm really glad I got Ari - I've wanted to redraw her for like forever, I'm not totally satisfied with the first I made, but this (without sounding smug) I'm really proud of.
I was going through aaaaaall sorts of different stages and ideas; some sister-stuff with Morg or her family, but decided for a single-shot, seeing as this is a special secret santa, and I'm not sure whether or not to incorporate other characters.
Aaaand my original plan was for her to have a 'city-background', her walking down the pavement, but it was way to complicated and way to advanced for me (+ I can't draw backgrounds to safe my life!)so I kept it simple...
Sorry bout the rant, don't know why I even started this; But now you have some sort of 'behind-the-scenes' Nonetheless, Ari proved to be true pleasure to draw, and I got to draw some fancy clothing - great excuse.

City backgrounds ARE hard, man! I've tried a few of my own, and given up. Yeesh! Still pleased with what you decided on, and I'm kinda glad you left her solo, too. (Although your last pic with her and Negs was hilarious!)
