zodiac project

[dzioo]

me and a few of my friends decided to make a series of drawings with zodiac signs, both European and Chinese. each of us got one sign of each constelations. I got MY fav gemini sign and Chinese snake XDDDD and so a picture is born^^



sorry, the pic is huge^^; I'm really happy with the lineart so far, hopefully I don't ruin it with further colouring^^;

some explanations. after reading some articles on Gemini posten on Wiki, I found out that usually, Gemini are associated with pearls and Lillies of the valley. they happen to be my favourite flowers, now I know why XDDD. and also, they share day and night between themselves. so, that should explain everything^^ also, the frame is based on cofie's pattern^^ hopefully you don't mind sis^^

and I have a question for you. actually, I'm asking for advice^^; how do you think I should colour this? plain and "flat" colours with minimum shading or complex and soft shading? this also involves the medium, either pencils or computer. to be honest, I'm not sure. I don't have time for experimenting and making 2 versions, that's why I'm asking==; I've been doing alot of pictures on computer lately, so pencils are favoured^^. however, I'm affraid I'll ruin it ;_; help please? thank you in advance^^

you know, those were males at the beginning XDDD but I hate drawing girly guys so they transformed XDDD well, for me it's easier to make such picture with females because females = long hair => nice flow + complicated clothes => design.

well, dragons remind me of aggresion, fire, fierce force and such, usually not good things^^ you are...... not draginish XDDD
hahaha bunnydragon XDDDDD nooooo, bunny, go awayy XDD I don't want to see you XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD (and the bunny doesn't mean ne BUNNYdragon, another bunny XD)
