Description

Note that this picture is a wip/beta and has been uploaded purely for feedback purposes so I can revise it. Constructive criticism is appreciated and requested over "fav and runs" (if you think it's fav worthy, please give me advice so the final version is even better). As the image is wip, parts of her body may be missing and the image may lack shading, an aspect I feel comes during the "release" stages.




Originally created by *RedWingsDragon, Snow was an Ice Demon whom he loaned to me to use back in my spriting days. However finding next to no use for the character, he let me adopt her. Sadly I did next to nothing with the character, bar making her Janine's close friend and lover and later having her sacrifice herself to save Jaine and her spirit fusing with her (due to her demonic roots), giving Janine a confidence boost.

When *RedWingsDragon created and revived her, Snow didn't really wear much due to her ice based abilities and inability to stand heat. When I drew her human form back in my Caracal days, I intended to keep the cropped top/jeans look she sported but due to inexperience and artist block, never really evolved her. I kept the name Snow, and gave her the surname "Diamond", as a nod to long time Final Fantasy summon Shiva and her signature attack.

I later planned to use her in a colab comic on the ~Carachi account. Shiro and I re-designed her slightly, changing her top to a longer one with a rim and I coloured it purple. Elements of this design made it into her "Generation Seven" look, though I also borrow the idea of shorts from ~Zed-Hyper-Blade's OC Velvet. Like myself, ZHB has revived some of his OCs from the spriting days as human characters, but has made an effort to create newer ones as well. With this in mind, I was initially hesitant about reviving Snow but ultimately decided to any way and re-named her to Theora Diamond, keeping Snow as a nickname. Theora was a "C-List" OC of mine from my writing days who was the occasional love interest of main protagonist, but also had stalker-like elements after the two of them broke up.

I wanted her newer look to reflect the look Shiro created, but with my own spin to try and make her more different. I had originally intended for her to have a corset shirt, but wasn't too sure with the initial looks. This may be something I revise for the final version. I do wonder if her arms and/or torso are too long, something I'm struggling to work out. It of course doesn't help that she lacks legs and feet, but I wanted to get the "beta" out for advice. I am pretty pleased with her hair, which I feel is more relaxed and natural when compared to how I drew her before. I also like how her face looks, though will admit I was a bit lazy on it.

I agree with Zed about the wobbly right arm. Also, I think her torso is a wee bit long. Your elbows are supposed to hit your waist, so her upper arm would be about 3/4 of her arm length! I really like her hair and face!
