@CR: Cute was what I was going for!

*cheers happily* I just finished my FArt Battle 2012 February entry!
(click on it for more info )

Though I can't actually participate in this battle *pouts*, as I'm the host...

Here's my entry!
I picked my own character Darth Delicious snuggling her cat, Samwise.
With a pair of Lovebirds watching.

In my opinion, Valentine (or love for that matter) is not only for couples, but for friends and family (pets are family) too.

For pose-reference I used a picture of me and my cat, for the birds I used some from my own collection of "Fairy Tails".
Suitable for the theme, these are called the "Love Birds" from the "Love Bird Set".

Why do you say hmmm, hmm?

Double honor!!

BWHAHAHAH!!!! That is funny!.. disturbing.. but funny

Shall I let you guys in on a little secret? *giggles mysteriously*
As of late, I have taken on a course to make cloths!
--Which is shocking as sofar any sewing machine I touched got messed up. I bend every needle I use (still do) and make myself bleed because I'm a master in piercing all the pins and needles right into my fingertops *giggles again*.
Nevertheless... I have been tempted alot lately to make a costume (yes, it started with the chainmail bikinitop ) and decided it might be worth a course.
Miraculously it seems to work!--

In between the studying of creating patterns and using them I have been practicing on the sewing machine to make a CoH related belt! Or the pouches at least.
This is what I got sofar (the belt is not part of the costume btw. It will be exchanged for a black one at some point):

My end goal is creating a complete costume, based on my character Darth Delicious`s clothing. Though sneakily I'm changing it slightly in-game to make it work irl .
For example, I gave her goggles, as it's impossible for me to wear lenses and I can't go without my glasses. So.. goggles it is! (I'll be creating an IC story for that some day). I think I found the perfect pair, which I'll need to paint to make it more Dee-like, like this:

And also Dee officially wears the Spine armthingies and gloves and belt... but I don't have a clue where to start on creating stuff like that. So... for now, the belt will change into the "pouch-belt". So mobile phones and other little stuff can be carried along.
I also have a pink wig, which will need work to make the hairdue more CoH-like.

When will I wear it? Never... possibly *giggles*. Or maybe, if I feel adventurous, on Fantasy Fairs or Comic Cons or... something like those.
I'm just having fun creating it!

no worries about going "offtopic" Reporter. And you (and your wife) are welcome! I feel honered having a drawing as a wallpaper on someone's computer !

That is utterly cute!
And also very much suitable for the FArt Battle

Yeah it took me several years too! I started out in the Roleplaying Section, writing stories mostly.
I think CR pointed the Fan Art section out to me, through DA.
*suddenly feels old* That was a LONG time ago

@welshman_EU: *giggles and blushes* Thanks dear

Oh! Then this looks like a good place to show the first art trade and collaboration, I did with the much talented Christopher Robin, back in 2008.
Fun idea as is the Coffee Talk!

CR drew for me one of my main characters, Darth Delicious:


I drew one of his, Xllusya:


Then I coloured his drawing and he helped with touch ups after which I gave it a background:


And just this year I finished colouring my drawing of Xllusya:


(for (more) credits and references, I advise visiting my DA page by clicking on one of the images )

Thanks Reporter!
I'll see what I can do about that wallpaper. I'll PM you about it.

Oh yes, definitely! I don't think I know how to draw without

*giggles* I didn't even see this one yet! But it definitely encourages a giggle! Well done Cami!

2 more days untill the early bird deadline!

! I like you thought Fireheart hahaha.
*climbs back on her chair*

No... actually... I based them on Hasbro's Fairy Tails, from the 80s. I adore 'm!
I have over 30 in my collection!

This is the LoveBird set btw
Though Fairy Tails do have quite a disturbing line to go with them...Birds with happy endings!

So.. I thought I'd make a tiny little tribute *giggles* and add them to my February FArt Battle drawing I'm not 100% happy with their hair just yet... But I still have LOADS of time

Edit: Update on the drawing:

Eventhough I'm not allowed to participate in the FArt Battle... I do have the intention of drawing something for each theme.
Today I've been working February's theme, Valentine/Love and feel like sharing it. Well... part of it.

You'll probably think...how is this CoH related...well... stay tuned for the full drawing! *giggles*
