Artist's Comments

Ah, here it is. After lots of brainstorming

I wanted to give Shoutai a little bit of a "make over" of sorts. I wanted to change her hair around and see how it would look if I'd just left the back all white and her bangs all cobalt blue. And to tell the truth, i really like it.

I'm also doing this because I think I wanted to differentiate her fae self from her mortal seeming (for those of you who dont understand, in Changeling: the Dreaming, a changeling is a fae soul born into a human body. Early in the human's life, usually before puberty, s/he undergoes the "chrysalis", a magical awakening of the fae soul which previously lay dormant. Once through the chrysalis, the Changeling exists simultaneously in both the real world and in the "chimerical" reality of the fae).

She's slowly, yet surely, becoming a full on Changeling character...I'll probably end up drawing her "other self" and will still keep the whole bleeding attribute (again, another C:tD term - bleeding is when some of your fae features show up in your mortal seeming, Shoutai's will be the blue bits of her hair and slightly pointed ears).

actually helped with the design (mostly the idea for her pants and the colors). So thank you very much ^w^

This was done ENTIRELY in Photoshop CS2 ^w^ I am extremely proud of myself. The only thing that WASNT done in PS was the inking, which was done in openCanvas

I like her new design and yes.... those ARE some bloody sweet pants. I just would never want to stand on one of her sides when she turns her head, her ears look like they could poke an eye out >_> (im an ass, but you know i kid)

As for the coloring, YAY!Tis fantastic!

Now we gotta reach a point where I don't walk you through the prep-steps each time ^-~

Aww, I miss her piggity tails. But, I really like the purple, yellow, and black colour scheme a lot better. It seems to suit her ^^

LMAO, I almost want to cosplay her. >_>

...'cause you can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter".
:iconshoutai:
lol i know peoples is gonna miss the piggy tails. but I guess I wanted her to look a bit older, you know? Im glad the color scheme looks good. I was worried about that

You think I think an artist’s job is to speak the truth. An artist’s job is to captivate you for however long we’ve asked for your attention. If we’ve stumbled into truth we got lucky.
