Artist's Comments

A character design sheet I did to put into my portfolio, because Nota is a fun character to draw and her appearance is very particular.

The guy reviewing my stuff loved this and said it was great that I could make characters with such personalities and stories etc. .. but I felt stupid when he insisted that I told him about the character, because I think I must sound crazy when I describe someone like Nota to a person. But uhhh stuff like that is what they like.

I didn't put this in the usual category because it's more of a reference-type image than an actual art piece. :B

Markers, and some photoshopping in the bg, but predominantly traditional media here.

I can totally see why he loved this. :heart: There's so much character in the way she's posing/what she's wearing/her expression. :heart: I love the mood.

I really like how you included a back view. That dress is lovely. :heart:

The border/bg is really simple, but I like it a lot. C: :heart: Great colour choices.

But thanks doll. :heart:

I love Nota. You -know I do.-

She's very swanky in her way.

I'm surprised you haven't tried taking any sewing classes.

Godknows you'd look so cool in that outfit.

I love this. 8D There are small details that work to bring out her character, like how the curls at the end of her ears are jagged. And just the fact that it's apparent she doesn't wash that dress.... it's awesome.

It's not really surprising that he loved this. :giggle: <3 Nota has such an awesome design.. I love that maniacal-ish look on her face. Iono if that's what you were aiming for, but that's what it looks like to me.. xD; Love the bloodstained dress too. :heart: Nice touch to the design. =P
AND.
Those hands win. <3
