Somewhat old request by Maverick - check it out HERE.

I realise it's a little risque, but that's Zeltrons for you...
Thoughts?

Hey, I'm kinda thinking I might do this like a signed picture from a movie starlet, so something - what do you think?
In any case, what is the young lady's name? I don't recall seeing it mentioned on your initial request...

Maverick

Her name is Deera Son. I do like the movie autograph idea, it fits with the storyline too, as something she might "fall into" when she got away from the Hutt. :)

The pose is excellent, and I'm really digging her expression. Her clothing, too, is what I could easily see as "loungewear" for her, or something she might wear when she wanted to make a good first impression. The boots are kind of throwing me, though. I think it's the clunkiness at the sole. I don't dislike them per se, they just seem a little odd to me.

All in all, it's a great sketch, thank you for giving me a visual to work with for the character. :)

I'd have to agree with the idea that the boots are a bit clunky :) ... maybe more pointed, and lady like :) ... maybe even tied boots :)

Mercy

Yeah, I know what you mean - I was going for a 'futuristic' sort of fashion look, but I think it might not work for a couple of reasons; The clothes should still be functional, and the veneer of trendiness is to hide the fact that she could still kick your arse in them! Likewise, she couldn't dance in them and so they would not suit either of her personas.

So, I'll have to have a go at changing them. If it doesn't work I will draw up a new sketch, or something...
I will post the colour that I have done so far and then post again when I have the boots fixed.

Cheers,
~ Mercy

Okay, second sketch up.

I haven't changed much except to give them spiked heels. But at least this way I don't have to draw up a new sketch for her...

Maverick

I like them better too. I wonder, though, if maybe she would look better in either low-heeled boots OR spiked "dress" heels, rather than trying to combine them? Don't worry about changing them more at this point, I don't want to abuse your generosity in fulfilling the request. :) I guess I'm just not much of a fashion artiste. :D

She looks great, thanks again for drawing her up. :) The coloring looks fantastic so far!

Mercy

Hi Maverick,
I'm not much of a fashion person myself, so I don't know how well I would be able to draw pretty shoes for her anyway! I can do the flat boots but then we're back to them not really suiting the character. In any case, I would have to start a new sketch were I to change them any further.

Anyway, I'll load up the bit of colour I did last night and you can see what you think...

Maverick

I think she looks great. The heart and HoloNet star "look" really sells it as an autograph-style pinup. It's fantastic to see her "take shape" right before my eyes. :)

Mercy

Great!
So glad you like how she's looking - I'll do a little more and post again soon!

Mercy

Cheers!

Okay, I think this one's about done!
Let me know if it's all good and I'll load it to gallery...
