Show No Marcy's Art

hello folks, I know we're well past the deadline now, but i'm looking for a pinch hitter for one piece remaining before i can slap them all together to present for the year. if you have the time and energy to help me out with this, or you know someone who does, please let me know. it's been a rough season all around and i'm grateful for your patience! the final gift and the wrapup will be coming soon.

Happy Calibration, @shownomarcy! I was lucky enough to get someone I know personally, so I had the opportunity to pull a little sneaky and depict a canon scene. A little story on that under the cut.

Thanks again to @shiftingpath for organizing another Exalted Secret Santa!

Happy Calibration @keirangoldenwatch !

Seren is adorable, and as a purple lover I was excited to paint both sets of her lovely eyes. I’ve never given a doll such a natural face up before, so I hope I did her justice!

I did make her black and purple outfit as well, and will send that along with her, but I HAD to do a wedding outfit photo shoot.

As it is her wedding attire (and I am a sucker for details), I made her gown slightly fancier with a decorative stitch from my sewing machine. Her veil was made with another decorative stitch, and then I sewed on some gold beads for glam. It also has a tiny bent wire comb to help it stay on her head

Her hair style is her every day one as I made the other outfit as well, and it’s been glued in place. She does have both of her tattoos, and if I can track down some spare black hands I can send her with “gloves” you can swap on as well

Technical notes: She’s a Monster High G3 Cupid. I shrank her head, lengthened her lower arms with sculpting, and swapped her lower legs for that of an older Disney Descendants doll as they longer. I made her hair wefts off of brushed acrylic yarn, glued them to her head and styled them. She’s fully repainted and sealed with a brush on sealant.

When presented with opportunity to draw man with excessively long hair I could not resist. I read the description of anima and straight away thought of sun dancing over water, so while it is not an anima itself it is my polite nod to its brilliance.

Thank you for this wonderful character.
