All betas >D
Inconsistent design/details are inconsistent!!!
So the design is the least of my problems, though of course I might still change it a bit and I WILL add more details and colors XD
My very problem with Mathilda is the colors!
So like Michael , I made THIS!
These are so far the color schemes I have thought of. I didn't want to use blues/aqua/tropical colors too much and I wanted to stick to the rosy colors while not making her look monochromatic XD I tried staying away from dark colors as well. Accents will be added, though they are not shown here. I guess comment on which you like best/the closest you guys like. You may suggest color schemes as well XD and stuff, you know the drill~
A - My very FIRST idea of her color scheme. I had second thoughts when I realized it looked like Hilary's color scheme WAAAA
B - The colors I used here purple, anyone? XD
C - Since Mathilda's design was meant to mix the flower+ribbon+pixie thing... the way the laces and stuff are shaped are done to imply Valentine's!!!! With her chest part in the shape of the heart and her arm warmers designed to look like bouquets (yeah guys, there are faux flowers inside those XD) So I decided to go for the classic red rose + white bridal colors...... might be too bridal though??? Or the white makes her outfit look like lingerie? (Not that I mind though XD Her design was meant to look like "sleepwear" though at the start HAHA!)
D - I tried following her anime color scheme by playing with the colors of orange and violet... but not everyone likes totally opposite colors XD
Other points;
"Antennae" - She has it in the anime, she didn't have it in my previous sketches of her... tried it here... approve? disapprove? XD Emily maintained hers!!! XD
Outfit "too revealing"? - I wanted to keep her innocent look while making her dress in something suggestive= confusing viewers about how she really is. Must be some symbol for "omg I'm a kind girl but some boss is making me act like the bad guy" ROFL XDDD
Pixie Wings - Color may change XD Really HAHAHA! And they're bigger actually... They're just small here to fit the screen XD
Ribbon headband - I used to draw it short, like the one on her neck and bloomers. Here I tried drawing it long... I wonder if it compliments her hairstyle? Maybe I'll make it a bit shorter? XD Yeah... I guess...
Stockings - Her stockings were originally supposed to be transparent but, as someone commented on her revealing outfit, I made them opaque then! And so I added "semi" mary jane shoes in the end.
Length of transparent "curtain" - It was originally supposed to be above her hip, then to the hip, then finally here; below the hip. If you'd turn her upside down, she'll look like a flower XDD And I'd want it to cover her butt anyway HAHAHA
Overall, I made her design like this to combine sweetness, innocence and also her being on the "evil plot" side with Barthez- as if you'd be drawn to her and fall right into her trap because of curiosity XDD If you find some parts awkward then it's meant to be awkward because I wanted to show something "that doesn't really match up/connect" because Mathilda has some hesitant, awkward side to her personality. Must be her shyness XDD
So... which color do you like? Any comments on the design?
P.S. I was supposed to work on Eddy and Steve but I was in the mood to plan Mathilda. So... I HAD TO SEIZE THE MOMENT!!! >D

Ehh what am I suppose to say.
As for tha schemes of colours all - for me - are faint and comparing to her anime version she doesn't stand out for me. Still if I would had to choose B, but right after that is C.
As for other things. The upper part of design is OK. But the lower (from belly to foot) is just ... you know. You want to make here cute? Ok, but why showing this underwaer in type of bloompers? This part was usually under clothing, barely seen anytime. And the worse part. Stocking which are connected to them. Sorry for me stockings with suspender belt (which if shown are meant to be sexy IMO) and this kind of underwear (which I highly associate with kids) are like you don't know which one you want to choose, so let's put them both. And puuting this little rose on the front of them just gives more impression of "oh I forgot to put on my pants/skirt".
I have an impression that you don't know if to make her a bit mature (you did the main team more mature, so if they are older, maybe you can make her also) and appealing (and maybe sexy but not in the vulgar way) or make her more of eye-candy. Cuz now I can't say what you want to accomplish for now.

Color schemes - I'm planning on making the colors more lively in the final piece XD Cuz I, and others, noticed how they kinda look dull here XD I'm gonna fix that
Bloomers will stay. Stockings will stay as well
The rose is part of the bloomers XD
If I am confusing you with this design then I have succeeded
Cuz she's meant to look vague and awkward HAHAHA!!
Either way, this is just a beta version and the Barthez B team still has a loooong way to go and I have lotsa time to fix them (and time to receive epiphanies LOL)
I guess I'm also trying to mix cute+mature which are like... kinda opposite
Again to make the whole thing awkward to comprehend XD

Good for the colours.
As for the rose I get the idea.
As for the bloomers now I know where I saw that idea. That looks a bit like Shino/Atoli from .hack Roots series.
If you confuse me... I wouldn't say that since you wrote what you want the result to be. It's just that this design in contruary to your other ones just don't have taste, that nice touch. IMO I don't like it, but it's your choice, your idea, so probably if you are decided on this one it will stick like this.
It natural that I won't be content with everything that you design. heck it's your I only can help out with critique ^^.

SlumberPoppy In reply to WindTiger [2011-02-26 16:21:11 +0000 UTC]
Actually the stockings were supposed to be either designed, see through or FULL stockings
designed- not sure about this though
see through- for modesty's sake, nvm
Full stockings - doesn't go well with bloomers XD and it'll be similar to emily's already
As for the bloomers, they were supposed to be a bit longer like these pics I've seen which made me decide to give bloomers HAHA!
[link]
[link]
But then something was off with it being a bit longer
I guess making it more rounded would make things cuter.
I was worried a rounded/shorter bloomers would look funny, but then I recalled Shino and it looked alright so I tried it anyway XD
The longer version kinda looked... like a joke HAHA
This is still a work in progress and given time that I will not look/dwell at this pic--- time will come when I'll go "Why did i put that? Maybe I should've put this. CHANGE"
(Such as... now, Eddy's last minute changes)
HAHAHA!
And your critiques are eye/mind-openers *_*
Thanks XDD \(^_^)/
I'm soo thankful to have you around, really XD
Of course, all designs are not meant to please everyone XD since everyone differs in taste

*looks at pics* oww, now I get what's all that about. And it's looks nice. I guess the "roundy" bloomers don't look as good as those one AND in pic there is either corset or long top which makes a different result. I guess I have to agree that your bloomers a design to be cute. As for for outfit there are from totally different mix then the rest.
Well I think that you will think of this design more especially snce you will have to work on colours on this one, so I guess you will have more chances to change something. We will see ;D.
You're welcome

I'm gonna have to patch up some sketch with this then? hmm...
Wait, which bloomer do you prefer, the black on in the pic or on my sketch?
ROFL! This is the first time I've ever worked with bloomers in a design HAHAHA XDDD
Funny on how your comments prompted me to open the Mathilda Color scheme PSD file of this sketch to play around with HAHAHA!
I've got a newer color scheme of Purple-ish, made her hair peachy and added green accents... Hmmm,,,, and her stockings are darker... LOLZ
*thinks through*

WindTiger In reply to SlumberPoppy [2011-02-28 18:56:46 +0000 UTC]
And you have sketches with bloomers like that? I really would like to see them ^^.
As for which one I prefer. It's hard to say since one are drawing while other are photo. But if you insist I prefer one on the photo.
New scheme you say. Now it looks like that one will be more "florish" since of green color.

Your critique prompted me to revise Mathilda's a bit XDDD
Better? >D
i think so HAHAHA
Looks less awkward....

WindTiger In reply to SlumberPoppy [2011-03-01 16:09:57 +0000 UTC]
Now this one is better in my opinion. Those bloomers are a bit longer but not so round so I like it. But making corset longer is a bulleye for me cuz it looks like those one you can wear on top (so it's not vulgar) And that rose which was earlier on bloomers and now is on the corset is really much better. Just one question.: is that rose sewed to corset or just is so kind of fastener? Because if it's fastener than the what about the lance that goes from belly to lower end of top?
Again sleeves look so much better when you draw them with more details. And nice try with her eyes that you make them a bit larger, that gives off a kind of "pixie-thing" too.

SlumberPoppy In reply to WindTiger [2011-03-04 17:26:56 +0000 UTC]
Oh the rose, for now, is sewn XDD so the lace that goes down is also sewn...
Those eyes are her eyes in her "pixie" mode thingy HAHAHA XD

Really like B or D; they catch my eye a bit more. C also catches my eye a bit, but it's a bit too monochrome for me. Totally love what you did with her design here through, nice and pretty and wispy and light.

C with the bodice covering her midriff, but I wonder about introducing some green? She has a bluey green in her normal outfit. You could apply it to the sides of the bodice and have them terminate on the hips like leaves (and avoid obscuring the rose on her belly).

SlumberPoppy In reply to zii [2011-02-25 19:33:50 +0000 UTC]
I was thinking of putting in some green as well XDD
Hmm... as for the bodice, I want the cut to be really above her belly button
If ever, I might add some lacey stuff on her torso as well- like on her chest if modesty demands it XD
Because of your comment, I suddenly had some idea on how to fix her transparent curtains stuffs
THANK YOU >D

Err, I'm stuck between B and C
B = The violet contrasts nicely with the pink.
C = The more traditional color of roses.
Hmm, I'm going with B.

Nevernight1012 [2011-02-24 20:22:41 +0000 UTC]
hmm I like B and D...but for D I think I would have like a more orange-y hue instead of mainly violet. I think I prefer the headband shorter...It looks like it would get in the way and is a bit much.
BUT I LOVE YOUR DESIGNS. I'm amazed at your ability to make them so AWESOME

well if you want to emphasis a floral theme with Matilda, I sudgest you go with colorscheme B, but make her wings a greenish tinge like the stem of a plant. Unless you want the wings to resemble more of the flower petals, then give her green stockings.

SlumberPoppy In reply to Beeku [2011-02-25 19:13:18 +0000 UTC]
hmm... that sounds like a very floral combination! XD
