Haven't been here since Method0ne... Haven't had much of an excuse. Inspirational well dried up for a while, until I decided to post up at gaiaonline.com in December '05. I immediately got commissioned for an avatar art there, by now-friend DollFaceDragon16. What would follow for the next six months was anything but getting down to the commission until one fateful night this past June when inspiration finally hit and stuck. Here's a repost of the progress thread.

DollFaceDragon16 (http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/index.php?view=profile.ShowProfile&item=63926) commissioned me to draw up some avi art. The request was made in December, and hasn't come to any substantial fruition until a few nights ago. Here are the older concepts...
Version 0 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/xxxer0/mariannaviv0.jpg)
At first I tried something imperial-like, but as we communicated, I began to see the person behind the avatar in a more relaxed, sexual-yet-conservative-and-confident light.
Version 1 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/xxxer0/mariannaviv1.jpg)
I really wanted to get creative with pubic hair, since there was a lack of nippl-age. Unfortunately, this stance seemed a little too stiff, and lacked a lot as far as personality goes.
Version 2 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/xxxer0/mariannaviv2.jpg)
Still a little stiff, but showing a little more personality than the last, it still lacked that -umph- to it.
Version 3 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/xxxer0/mariannaviv3.jpg)
Wanted to try something other than a front-side shot, that gave off an air of mystery. Too bad it never got off the ground.
Version 4 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/xxxer0/mariannavi.jpg)
The final inspiration.

Edited her right arm, 'cause it was too long. With the editing, I decided to do away with the trident and replace it with a short katana.

And.. the finished work.
