Photo shoot Concept Sketches
Here's some drawings I've been doing, they started out as concept sketches for a shoot we plan on doing in the summer when Robin comes, but I ended up having a bit of fun with them: 





This is the first one I did, and the one that is actually physically unfinished. There are a lot of "ghost lines" on this one which are actually pencil, including the fishnet tights, so those will be erased and replaced. I can't think of this picture as being "me" because this was when I was thinking of just doing concept sketches for us to plan out how we want the pictures to look. I would have drawn her face much differently if it had been me, so when I talk about this picture, I say "her".

I wanted a "wicked queen" and so I actually drew her face and the body immediately in ballpoint pen, before I started going "Wait, I'm going to screw this up if I don't use pencil", and halfway through I ended up not finishing it.. No reference used on this picture (and it shows, lol)



This scan makes me really sad because the real copy of this is dark, and has thick, bold lines, as opposed to these "Breathy" strokes that you can see here. I like this one a lot even if the anatomy is off, and this is where the pictures stopped being just "people in our clothes who resemble us" and started becoming pictures of us. I think Bronwen should wear a headdress for this shoot. No reference was used on this picture.


This one is by far my favourite, but again these are all such crappy scans that I wish I could show you the real ones. I am worried that I saved over the final copy and I really don't want to spend another hour editing, so here it is. I am really proud to say that I didn't use a reference at all on this aside from her face, so the hand position with the crossed fingers and the poisoned apple may be not anatomically correct. I don't own this skirt and so I had to do it by memory, so it may not be correct. 


This was my first time drawing a serious picture since last year's Nishikaze pamphlet, and so I'm really happy that I've started mixing up poses.

Oh my GOSH these are AMAZING. :O I love every one of them so much! The outfits are so darned perfect, too! Oh man, this is just breathtaking, seriously. The pose of "you" as the evil queen is so perfect. I love Bronwen's face, she just looks so adorably Bronwen! I also love how you did my entire face, hair, and headdress. And the skirt looks just fine! Thank you so much for posting them!

My dear, we MUST get you a little scepter and crown! And oh wow, those cute little gloves Bronwen's got!

Where/when were you wanting to do this shoot? Did you want to save it for summer, or do it here in Victoria? Maybe in the Empress, or at one of the castles?

Kick ass! I'm glad you like them! I really love the one I did of you and I'm glad I did it last. I draw so rarely that I get really rusty, but once I get into it, I think I get a lot better in even a couple of hours. Notice how they go from "Good, Better, Best"?

I drew the one of you in Melissa's car, so it's the only one that had a sketch because it's impossible to draw steady when you're on the highway. This is what I drew in the car, if you'd like to see: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/pinkwigs/robinsketch.png

It just hit me that in that lot i'm getting a black VM skirt that's pretty much the same as your dress. We already know the two styles work together nicely, do you want to wear that one?

I definitely see it evolving from first to last, but I still adore all of them! It's cool to see the sketch, and I am very impressed you did that in the car!

That might be nice! I'd have to try it and see, I guess. Other than the VM underdress I always wear with it, I haven't found any longer skirts that work okay with that top. LOL I still think it's pretty cute with just bloomers too, though.

That's why I think the skirt would look okay, as far as I know it's an underskirt is pretty much the design of your dress without the bustline.

Oh, also, I thought I'd give you a backstory I made up while I was drawing these, The reason you are crossing your fingers is because it's a poisoned apple. We don't have to do this if you don't want to, but I was thinking that the servants are trying to poison the wicked queen? I just am dying to see you with an apple in that outfit, and the idea kind of ran away. I think the teapot is poisoned as well.. If Melissa wishes to be in this shoot, I was thinking of her as the advisor, who does care for the wicked queen, and is suspicious of the servants.

Yes. They're way better than half the stuff I see on EGL. I hate how people there are so critical of artwork, though. You'd definitely have to be prepared for people to give you critiques on anatomy, etc.

Victoria would be really neat too, I'm just worried that we could run into a bit of trouble with the landowners?

Yeah. I think we'll have to do more "quick poses" while walking around than an ornate shoot like this. I think the big castle will be fine for photos outside, but there will also probably be people walking around.

Ah! Thanks Kriss!! I actually stopped for a few years and did a picture here or there, but I miss drawing.

Is it okay if I still call you Kriss?

Yep, everyone still calls me Kriss, it's stuck. Well, I should say I allow only my friends and those close to me to call me Kriss. ^.^;;;;

I hope you start back up again soon because I really do miss your art. You really do have a true and utter gift for art that goes beyond the realms of just normal talent. Lots of people are talented but only those gifted can breath life into a picture like you can, so I truly hope you do continue with your drawing. ♥
