CoX Bishoujo Style!


Bright

 

Posted

Thanks all... I don't really know what all these Japanese words like "Bishoujo" mean, but I know I've gotten a lot of comments from anime lovers about Gorm so I was guessing she would fit into the style better than my others.

I'll usually avoid free arts but I have realy been T'Soul's style lately so had to give it a shot

Thank you a ton guys (especially Twizdid), and congrats to the other winners thus far!

By the way, the Masked Shrike is an awesome character; if you haven't seen her you should dig up some pics from the costume thread and whatnot.

Wait.. there's a costume thread!? O.o I really need to spend more time on the forums. I love designing costumes and a thread like that would be a great outlet for me!

Ok... it's getting a lot harder to pick cuz there's some really great entries and only two spots left, but after going over the thread for about 20 minutes I've finally decided on today's winner. Congratulations go out to VexXxa for her character Touche! Thanks everyone, see ya tomorrow for the final winner!!

Pretty much means "cute girl".

the Bi is Beautiful and the Shoujo is essentially Maiden. It specifically refers to beautiful young women and is commonly associated with very flowery and delicate characters and art style. Bishoujo art is a very specific subset of anime art, though I'm assuming the OP is simply using the term for cute girls as a generality.

So, that means Bishonen means 'beautiful boy'... So 'beautiful', that the other boys get confused and try to 'date' them?

Be Well!

Yeah there have been many costume threads but I think the ones people are referring to are the two stickies at the very top of the 606 forum page...
they are literally the largest threads in this section of the forums and active almost daily with peeps swapping costumes and ideas.

In case you missed it there is also now a new thread for collaboration (if you ever feel like teaming up with other forum artists) and also a new
tips and tricks thread (if you want to share things you've learned about digital art or learn from what others have shared).

P.S. Gratz VexXxa.

Thanks CR, those are some great links!

As for defining what bishoujo means for this contest, I intend to draw the winning characters in the "pretty girl" anime style. So even villains and monstrous characters will be getting a makeover with the cuteness bat.. lol I will of course do my best to adhere to the costumes posted but as with most of my work I may make slight alterations. The characters will be full color with a simple background like the NGE Asuka sample in my OP. The only other thing I'd like to add is that this project will take some time. I'd like to ask that everyone be patient and I will post each one in order of the winners list as I get them done. I estimate the total project to take roughly 2 months based on other things I've done of this scale. I realize that sounds like a really long time but I'd rather be quoted with far too much time than not enough. I plan on starting the character art this weekend and will post finished work to my art thread and DA gallery with links posted here.

Completing the winners list as the final selection today is White Clover by Ephemeris. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone that entered. There were a lot of really great contest submissions!!

Sweet, I didn't think White Clover had a chance with all the other awesome costumes in the thread. Congratulations to all the others that won! I look forward to seeing the arts of all the winners.

Thank you Twizdid for holding a contest like this.
