For Birthsigns, I'd take Virgo

*still has no idea what's going on*

Oh, apparently in zodiac it's the date I gave but in modern culture you were correct. *confused*

Oooh, birthstones. I claim amethyst (February)

InfestedHydralisk · May 11, 2011, 11:07 PM // 23:07

Well, if we are claiming then I'm taking Ruby (July). :P (Why are we claiming anyway?)

I don't know why the rest of you started claiming, but I was just declaring my birthmonth by taking my stone. lol

Last piece looks great as usual

Something with birthstones or the zodiac would be interesting (dibs on December/Capricorn!!lol i had to)

ok, so even if its a lot of work, I'm going to do birthstone series. It's going to feature girl (ofc) portraits wearing some piece of jewel with appropriate gemstones. Its a long term plan, so yeah, I'm still going to do other artwork unrelated to this series.

And heres first wip, and having some doubts about her hair too >_< Probably the left one since its more innocent looking and isn't interfering much with her face like the right one. And need to figure out what to place in the empty space....

p.s. idk what are you guys claiming

but you can all consider this to be a present for ppl born in October

InfestedHydralisk · May 12, 2011, 06:50 PM // 18:50

I think the left one looks better.
As for the background, I think you can just make some lighting that has the same color as the gem.

But I hope to see a July soon. ;3

i like the one on the right more to be honest. curls are always a good "innocent look" are you planning on doing like full body drawings or all busts? if youre just doing busts-i would think some sort of slightly textured solid color background would look best.

A sapphire for September

Do we have a lot of Virgo's in Nolani?

Eastern Magik · May 14, 2011, 10:32 AM // 10:32

@IH yep, i was thinking the same thing for the background. Or maybe to put some kind of a pattern decorated with gemstones, like those Art Nouveau styles.

@Frost well, i was planing just busts, but now idk. Since its going to be series, they should all be similar to each other, but...

@Aero i don't know

and progress on the current picture:

yes, im experimenting a bit, and this picture probably won't be included in the birthstone series.
