Don't Color Me

I think 2015 is going to be the year of redos.

Remember that picture :dalogo: "you were supposed to color"? Remember how amazingly good Todd ( :icontodddanceplz: ) and Dappy ( :icondappyrunningplz: ) looked in that picture? And then how BAD Ryugo looked (Nowhere NEAR as good as he looks now :devart:!) And how weird Eva looked? ( :iconefacepalmplz: )
Well... that was a redo of a previous, larger FAIL ( :iconifailplz: ) where EVERYONE looked BAD.

Because of that :above: I wanted to redo Ryugo and Eva and edit the improved pics into the old one and let people color that.

The thing about the new drawings of Ryugo (I aborted making the new drawing of him, but did think about the new, small details added to his shoes before I did) and Eva is that, like the "Color Me" ones of Todd and Dappy there is A LOT of sharp new detail added. Too much to ink. (Don't want to risk ruining such perfect, fine lines) Too much to color. (No one who would want to color can color those tiny details). So I decided to just leave well (or not well) enough alone and not go any further with it. This drawing of Eva just looks too fantastic (a little too fat, maybe, but FANTASTIC), so I'm posting it as-is.

I even did the horizontal flip test with this to make sure she was turning out right. I did it traditionally (turning the paper to face toward a lamp [thus, away from me]) and digitally, after scanning. Thoroughly scanned ( :abduction: [ :XD: ])

:iconthatsrightplz: I learned a lot from this drawing. Design-wise, though, the main thing I did was officially make the top of her hood hat-like. Did the trick. You can totally critique this pic though, or ask me what else I learned. ;)

But yeah. The reason she's in the pose she's in (and has the expression she has) is because she was supposed to be edited into the Color Me drawing. I even gave her a more appropriate expression. I worked really hard on it, trying to find some way to do her expression the way I'd do a pose and try to feel my way through it.

If her left hand looks funny, that's because I drew it at 2 in the morning, just as I was beginning to lose my ability to draw properly. 3AM was coming. "3AM Brain Condition"= BAD

Don't worry, Eva, I won't color you. :la: Your facial expression looks traumatized enough.
