Because I've been getting into drawing, this is a way to keep things organized >~<
Featuring: oh so creative titles, fanart, caboodles of nonsense, requests from you lovely people, and a heckin heck ton of OC drawings
I use ibis paint for my digital...

Did I just do a whole drawing based on a character that gets one brief mention in one song that's not even in the official soundtrack yet? Yes I did XD
That's right, I have here my musical bean vintage queen Hanamaru portraying Apollo, the god of music! (And the sun...and archery...and lord knows what else at this point XD)
This one was a bit of a no brainer for me, given her music-based breathing style. However, I also thought that her generally sunny disposition suited Apollo well, alongside the fact that she can actually be a pretty ruthless warrior despite her kind appearance.
I don't work with or draw her nearly enough, so this was a really nice opportunity for me to show her some love. Hopefully I'll work with her more in the future! :D
As for now, it's time for Melody Rambles About Her Art Process :)
The drawing I used as a base is above, if you're curious. I really only used it to get the skirt and the pose right, since I had no idea what I wanted to do with her outfit so it provided a nice foundation. I figured a simple white outfit was sufficient, with gold accents to hint toward the "sun god" thing and of course, a golden laurel wreath because what is Apollo without one~ I also replaced her pink triple-knot hair bands with gold ones to provide more of a distinction. However, her sandals stayed the same because...well of course they did XD
The shading wasn't really too bad for me, although I did have to do a bit of trial and error to get the skin color just right. She had a warmer undertone but I didn't want to make her look yellow or orange. I think I struck a good balance though :D
Alrighty, stay tuned for the next part of the series! (that I'll try to get done in a reasonable amount of time this time XD)
