Been in an art lull lately due to a discouraging event that happened a week back (not up for discussing btw). Despite will and inspiration, skill and quality was lost. It took a bit of reimagining to get the ball rolling again.

I chose Pink Deedee, a character I've been working with for a while, and tried to make something new of her, something out of my norm. This came as a result of trying new skeleton techniques and pushing aspects of my style a little further. Overall, I think this project was sparked by reviewing  Portzebie's gallery and how quickly he has improved in such a small amount of time. Directly, I was reviewing  Ebonyleopard's and  foxyfennec's interpretations of this character for possible style directions.

Since I was trying her in a new style anyway, I thought to revisit some of the original ideas I had for her such as the cute chat window visual I has sketched once. Her ponytail was originally created as an element of movement, though admittedly not played with often. So for this appearance, I felt I should give it as much life as I could, no restrictions on where it can go.

I also thought to give her worksafe costume (or "modest mode") another try.

I should note that I am not committing to a new drawing style, at least not yet. I find a project like this is a helpful learning exercise.
