Done!
so, for those who don't know, Kogaru comes from "Child" (ko) and "Girl" pronunced in japanese: "young girls playing women". It's a sort of prositution, they are paid by "salary-men" to have a date that can finish (or not) in an hotel room! Most of kogarus have a very tanned skin, lots of make up and are fake blonds!
Kogarus inspired this pic!

Girlie stuff with attitude!

I wish Xod was a Japanese salary man. But I would not want to have a date with the young prostitute girls, I would have a date with their grandmas! <:)

Playing fair with my skills, since cannot draw anything un-sketchy, then, let's be good at sketching!
So I'm taking my revenge ^^

That's based on a picture of me, but...it's kind of far from it...You can see it in my deviantart gallery...(if u're able to recognize the pic I'm talking about, but there aren't lot's of pics of me, soooo). I didn't draw in order to do something similar anyway ^^;

Lips are bothering me!

Uh...I wonder how she did to write all of this on the wall o_O Oh...stupid me! She has wings!!! (yes, the pink thingies ARE wings) Uhu, just a fast lil sketch because I'm being addicted to this board...thee-hee..

Symbolism of the whole thing: This is supposed to be a room which represent a corner of my inner universe (BOUH!! Scared, neh?) and as you might have seen, the walls are not perfectly blank and everything is getting older and the whole thing is about to broke away. The little girl is a sort of self portrait (I use to do ballet when I was much younger, nothing wonderful, I did a few years and I was only ten...). She represents me as a child you know, and as I'm 18 since a few days, I looked back at my past and realized that the dreams I used to have don't exist anymore, and will never. So it's kind of depressing, and the pink I used is mixed with black on purpose...

Hope you like even if it's a bit personal...

Finish your school of science plitics, then go on to art as an avocation. Keep up the dream, and you can turn it into a vocation later.

Yep.. between us Me (dave ) and xwind (also dave) , we have about 100+ years of experience so we know
And live the way Napoleon said: "L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace!"
moon-pearl (edited Dec 30, 2004)
hey it's hard to have some "audace"...But you guys are right, all I have to do is to be courageous and wait a while to fulfill my dreams!

Once again, I'm trying to do something nice with Lascaux...thanks to the tutorial that davincipoppalag gave me, I'm having lotsa fun, and that's true that once you get familiar to the tools, it's easier, but I still have a problem with my tablet that's bothering me!
So a random Lady, that kind of look like Dolly, my original character! ^_^

Like I said, I changed her hairstyle...I dunno if it's better or not, for some reason, I'm not totally satisfied with this piece....But there's a thing that makes me happy: Lascaux is not as hard to use as I thought it was!

Seshio (Dec 29, 2004)
wow! good job with the drawing! I like the shading and the outfit! AWESOME WORK! ^_^
Jack_Fox (Dec 29, 2004)

Hey, thanks a lot for the link, davincipoppalag, it's very helpful!
EphemeralFlames (Dec 29, 2004)
I really like your style. :D Though the background takes away from the girl, the flat color is distracting. But she is very elegant indeed.
quintessence (Dec 29, 2004)
Oooh, I love how you put the little white highlight on her eyeshadow. Lovely. <3
moon-pearl (Dec 29, 2004)

Here is the finished version of my heretic countess...sketchy...I have some problems with my new tablet. I mean, its odd...It doesn't go where I want it to go.Very weird, sometimes it stops as if I was at the border of the screen...doesn't make it easy!!! That's why the lines are all messy. Sorry guys. Sometimes my tablet works and doesn't do that strange thing and sometimes not. I don't really understand, so if someone can help me fix it, I'll be glad of it.

Anyway, about the pic; as a first oekaki in this board I wanted it to be the reflect of my inner thoughts and to be a sort of exercise (for me of course). So it's a clear experimentation, and I'm kind of happy with it.
I named it "Heretic Countess" thinking of a great friend of mine. That's for her.

That's not my very first oekaki I must say! ^^; That's my first in this board. Thanks a lot for welcoming me!
mukumuku (Dec 29, 2004)
this is great, welcome to the site. i love how it's all the different shades of red, i think that really adds a lot to the mood of this picture
davincipoppalag (Dec 29, 2004)
I looked at your DevArt posts, those are good! You might try the Lascaux applet..I think it is the best here.
sincity (Dec 29, 2004)
