props to Kasabian; for giving me a hand and generally being amazing ;D

I like it tbh, although it's too fully clothed for Nicki Minaj :ll (I kid ;)). Nice job Laura. The skirt looks a bit... faded to me somehow but I'm probably seeing things xD.

looks cute you should try an emma stone one :)

Just fyi i was going from http://www.hiphopworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/nicki-minaj-pink-friday-lipstick590.jpg this image as it's the only one I could remember when I started drawing! Gave up on the shoes though, might add them later...

It looks fantastic, Laura! +rep How long did it take you by the way? :D

[Jurv]

it looks fantastic, laura! did you draw the dress yourself or use a template? :O

Thank you, I'm so surprised I made that!!!! I started it yesterday morning and have been doing it on and off ever since :)

The top bit is sort of using the girls top that ruches in (if you know which one I mean, it's a halterneck) as I couldn't get the boob bit to look right, but drew the outline of the top, bottoms, and belt bit myself! :)

[:odey:]

This is fab, the hair is so sexy.

Do you have any wips? I know you wouldn't steal, and it's 100% your creation, i'm just genuinely interested in how you actually went about making this :P xo

[Sloths]

Awwh this looks fab Laura nice work I love it :)

[Succubus]

This is really good! I think you should defiantly try the shoes, might just work out ;)

I knew Ms.Aquamarine; would of posted here ;I

[Lamz]

that looks really good.

Nice how you've managed to get the belt done too because that looks like it was difficult. Looking at the alt then looking at the image you've referenced it is a job well done, keep it up!

thank youu :D I didn't actually think it was actually going to be any good so I never bothered to do wip's!! Although I did send this to tom for a bitta help ;) Basically though, I drew the hair (half stolen from an existing Habbo hair) drew the top (with a Habbo top guide for the shading) then sorta went mad and creative, drew the belt and the skirt, fading the top layers so they weren't opaque!

Ty!! The belt was really hard, but I sorta guesstimated where the random pixels would go, it's just 4 different colours randomly spread but I think it works quite well!!!

[auffant1]

Looks really good but as others said the dress is a bit faded :P.

meh, should have done someone better. nicki sucks. ;)

it's really great though laura, really like the hair and the dress. lovely work! :)

[Paige.]

aww i love this! well done :)

Now going from top to bottom, the shading on the hair where it hits the shoulders should be lighter and then return to the "middle" colour. Also the fringe is too straight, if you look at the picture you can see it is slightly curved and should probably be more like that. The things on her boobs look like they should be a bit more circular (probably by making it 1px higher). The dress has far more colours than necessary, but saying that you don't really need to care about colours for something like this. The lack of a black outline on the dress also makes it look a bit out of place, either nothing should have a black outline or it all should (in my opinion). The belt honestly looks like a bunch of colours just dotted around and discredits the rest of it. And a final point is that some shading on the skin seems to be missing at points where it should be. I'd comment further but I'm pissed, but it's better than the previous graphic.

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to improve on what you said; these are the results!

I did two, one with and outline and one without as I wasn't sure if the dress would still look good with the outline, as it is meant to be made of netting which is sorta see through.



Still couldn't do the shoes. LOL!

With the dress you should probably make it a bit smoother on the bottom. Anyway with the see through effect, you need to address that with how different it looks on the legs and on the other parts of the outfit. Looking at the reference picture, there is part of the dress under the netting bit which you would be able to see. I advise you back up and delete the bottom of the dress, create these parts and if you have a decent picture editing software, make the netting part slightly transparent over the other parts. If you don't, just take what you have there and add a bit of red into it.

Oh one final point, looking at the image it looks like you wouldn't need that top black outline on the boobs.

[Ellz]

its really nice, well done :D

Much prefer the one with the outline but like what is said above, the netting part should be sorta see thorugh so you need to take into consideration the position of the legs under the dress

Better, but you removed the a necessary black line where the dress cuts off on the neck, that should probably be added. Also I know in the ref. picture she is pouting, but it may look better if you make her have a straight face.

I think there's only two obvious ways to improve it now would be to at it from a side angle, but that would be changing the whole thing :P. Perhaps try that angle in the future, and perhaps try and lower the colours but apart from that I can't offer much more advice.

[Munex]

Amazing! I love it. :) I would have given you +rep but I already have today for your amazing story in Samanfa's competition thread.

I thought I was pretty good at graphics, but I was so wrong in comparison to this! :O

i wondered who that was! It just takes a lot of patience and an eye for detail, but thank you :)

I've given you my views on this Laura when you showed it to me - I love it! :)

I think the skirt/bottom of the dress needs to be a bit darker as it's a different shade to the top - unless this was planned?
