See? I told you this would happen, I get carried away :S I hope I didn't stray too far from her idea. I tried to mix something period appropriate with luxury while still affording maneuverability and functionality... I did have a lot of fun with her... maybe too much XD If her wings look smallish that's my poor attempt with slight *pinches fingers together* perspective :S But I hope she turned out to your liking ^^
And I was fooling around with the settings for the background texture and while the orange itself might be eyeblinding for most, I thought it was like looking at a blurred autumn setting ^^
Refresh for non-FA raped image XD
EDIT: Re-refresh, quick fix ^^

Excellent!! The foreshortening worked well on the arm. Wings are harder to do by a longshot, so you get a pass there. ;) Her sash and robes are pretty cool and sexy. I imagine her wearing them for some special occasion, and a fight broke out that she just had to take care of. ;) Or maybe she's a celebrity, and someone asked her to do an attack pose. LOL
(I just got back from ComicCon, so I have weird on the brain)
I see you also gave her wings a hint of translucency, that's a cool touch!
Now, what was it that you fixed? Inquiring dragons wanna know!
*hugs you tight* Thank you!

I know the costume isn't exactly period accurate. I did try to do a lot of searching online and with all the options I end up frankenstein-ing a lot ^^; The costume I imagine to be pretty multi-functional, dress or fight. With the splits in the skirt, they can actually be tied up like a monk's robe around her body or left down for more maneuverability. Then again I know silks aren't so monkish... maybe she got lucky and found a custom seamstress that catered to her draconic fancies ^^
I have no excuse I always have weird on the brain, but how was it? Did you have a lot of fun? I always here how fun Comic Con is... soooo many people go and such awesome costumes to see.
Honestly the wings weren't on purpose at first ^^; but the emerald theme worked as a transparent gem so she's a bit sparkly :}
Lol "and everybody was kung fu fighting..."
and don't you worry none ;p I caught it before hand ^^
I'm really glad you like how she turned out, I was worried I'd have too much fun and get really carried away. I'm kinda sad these aren't full pieces. All of yours I would have liked to have spent a lot more time on fully completing.
It may not be period/character accurate, but I do like that you put some thought into it, to make it pretty yet functional. Aram would totally wear this. And she's good with silks. She indulges a little. She didn't take that vow of poverty -- no way her dragon blood would allow that!
I had a blast at the con, and a blast outside the con as well. My friend Dave has such a diverse bunch of friends, it's always a great time to hang out with them. And I spent WAY too much time and $$ in the dealer's room. I even got Cerulo to sketch for me on the inside cover of the Book of the Dragon I bought from him (new edition, more arts), and Ruth Thompson promised to do a Rooth sketch at the Ren Fest this weekend, and Chris Whatshisname did a cool sketch, and so did Richard Starkings and Gabriel Whatshisname. And Lar, the artist for Looking For Group ... he did a follow-up sketch to one he did last year. I gotta scan and post it yet.
Oh, and omg, I encountered a new dragon artist! I gotta find her card, I can't remember her name, but wow, her art was amazing.

Hehe I actually used to have dreams of getting into the fashion industry ages past, but now I just do it on characters for fun. Too much competition and I can't sew to save my life, not except for mending minor things... But yay \o/ I'm glad your happy with it ^^ It always pleases me when someone likes my designs *fluffs proudly*
Lucky you sounds like you had a really good time and lots of new arts to show for it hehe ^^
OOoooooowwwww O.O Ruth is going to do a Rooth?! I is excite for that! I have loved her art for a very long time. I even got a picture with her (which I still have somewhere) and had her sign a Howl (the one reminiscent of a grown up red riding hood with the following of wolves) t-shirt for me (sadly I couldn't help not wearing it so the signature may be pretty much washed off over the years) at the Sterling Forest Ren Faire in Tuxedo, NY the last time I was there probably a good 8 years ago :S I'd really love to see how she does him :}
Yes yes ^^ You must share this when you find her card! ^^

Ruth sketched a quick dragon on the back of my friend Barry's purchase, ... in sharpie. She's amazing.
I went to the Sterling Forest Ren Fest! That was my first ever .. .uh .. back in '88. >_>
I texted her today, and then promptly left my phone at work, so .. now I gotta go back and get it. :(
