*please full view* The preview image is really bad >_<
I don't really know what I can say about this piece. After working on this for at least a month, it's finally done... but it's not at all how I wanted it to look. Still, I do like how it came out with the textures and the dull colors. I'm also surprised that I used green; this is probably the first time I've ever used green in a picture o_o This was also my first attempt at drawing a real background... but it didn't really work out; hence, the heavy-duty texturing >_> I'll try harder next time. This is also the redone character design of Fallyn (for my story Flock of Ravens). She had a major make-over, mostly because my style's changed so much since the last time I drew her. I spent a long time designing herdress^^ It's based on the robe a l'anglaise... but I made some changes so it's not really historically accurate. Next time I draw Fallyn (for her character sheet), I'll draw the correct version of the dress as well as a couple other outfits for her. This image was more or less for practice; I don't really consider it an "offical" Flock of Ravens illustration. Comment and critique is much appreciated. Textures from Aethereality [link] and Mayang [link] |

i really like her hair and dress. i perfer it when people make outfits their own instead of trying to get it specifically to one style of clothing. it makes it seem more unique. your shading and such is starting to look more realistic too.

As for Fallyn's dress- how isn't it historically accurate? Wow, I must know less about 1780s clothes than I thought I did...
Well, the way I did the black & green lace trim around the sleeves and the upper part of the gown sort of deviated from the original design (which didn't really have any lace). I just wanted to try out a different style of drawing lace, but for some reason, it came out looking more Victorian than rococo. Then again, maybe that's because I made it black (dark colors always look Victorian). But the long-sleeved dresses from the 1870s that I've looked at haven't had any sort of lace on the cuffs like that; the cuffs are always fairly plain. I've seen only a couple with some lace on the cuffs, but nothing as frilly as what I drew. For the most part, I guess it's just me being nit-picky
