Artist's Comments

I wanted to do an NT picture to get me back into drawing CLAMP (in practice for the 20th Anniversary Fanbook) so I was going to draw an NT Sakura.

But I ended up rereading the bit about Meilin's dress in the Halloween Chapter and couldn't resist drawing her in a masqerade dress! (I don't think this quite matches what Wish-chan described, but it's the image that came to mind)

This is a traditional piece-drawn in pencil then inked. I brought lovely inking pens over Easter and am very happy with this first attempt with them! Much nicer than the last set I brought!

Excuse the feathers. I've never tried drawing feathers before.

I am going to try and colour this, too. Don't be surprised if I fail!

Interesting. I have no recollection what her dress was supposed to look like, but this is pretty good! I like the eyes. And the dress too, especially the train of the dress.

Thank you! The dress was just described as red, sequined and having feathers edge it! And she had feathers and ribbons in her hair.

I'm gonna try and make the bodice sparkle when I colour it (which is not going well...it'll take a while!) to represent the sequins.

Beautiful~ I've been missing Meilin a bit lately. :P
I would love love to see a colored version. Meilin looks a bit sad, nee? Bad, bad Kai (jumping on the Miho-bandwagon and just blame everything one him.) Lol...

Random but you have such a pretty signature. And I'm very jealous you have new inking pens! I always use any old pen lying around that hasn't dried up. >.<

I alway miss Meilin! (but she is my favourite!)

I'm working on the coloured version. I've finished all the base colour and shaded her skin last night. It's getting there (slowly!).

I don't think things are quite going her way, so she's a bit more pensive than most pretty girls are at a party. And, yes, it's Kai's fault! I'll blame him, too!

Ah, my signature has been warped from years of signing paperwork (the real name half of it, not the pen name bit, obviously!). But sometimes I forget to sign my work...opps.

I brought new artstuff for the 20th Anniversary CLAMP Artbook that's being put together on LJ. But I haven't started my picture, yet...eek. Number one reason why I need to finish colouring this sooner rather than later!
