Description

A "cover" image for my fanfic, Star Eater! Right is Daisy in a new outfit and left is a rather vicious chick named Apricot.

While I was pretty set on Daisy's outfit, I fought with Apricot's on style and color. I wanted it to look like a nebula, something I never really tried with colored pencils. I usually do that sort of effect digitally. But I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Her colors are based on the Rosette Nebula. I had intended them to be darker, but I fell in love with the magenta hues blended with purple and grays, so I kept it.

I also tried a bit of a new style. I generally modify the faces for Mario chars, but this time, I added lips. Lips are weird. I really don't like lips, but it just didn't look right without them. I need to practice drawing more lips.

I know the anatomy is a bit off and Daisy's off balance, but overall, I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out. Critiques encouraged.

Hey! I found myself coming back to the fic and decided to search for that cover image on deviantart (the links on your FF.net bio just link back to your FF.net bio).
