Artist's Comments

(Regarding the bad guy they're about to fight)
Angel Dahlia: "They never learn, do they?"
Angel Orchid: "No, they don't."
Both: *...shortly thereafter proceed to kick major booty*

This is mine and my cousin, :iconmikazukirisa:'s OCs that are based on the anime Wedding Peach. My character, Dahlia, aka Daria Murasaki (possibly to be renamed), is the one with the short hair and the tiered skirt, and my cousin's character, Orchid (Ri, does she have a name yet?) is the one with the pigtails and the sash thing... These characters belong to us, so don't you dare steal them. Got it? Rawr. B[

If you've never seen Wedding Peach before, I HIGHLY recommend (almost demand) you watch it. Just... if you're, for example, like :iconaika-shi21: (one of my best friends), then make sure you interrupt yourself with something a little less cute, like Bleach or Death Note, every so often or you WILL go into Cuteness-Overload. Or, if you're like me, and you thrive on cute mahou-shoujo (magical girl) anime like Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew, just go ahead and go straight through it. Just make sure to eat and sleep... It's 51 episodes long, plus 4 OVA episodes... [And if the transformation scenes get too annoying, I won't tell anyone if you decide to fast-forward through them... ;P]

But before you make a decision of WP without watching a few episodes, let me tell you that it KICKS SERIOUS BOOTY!!! I mean, PEOPLE DIE!!! People fall in love, people betray their comrades, people change, people break their own rules... It's great.

And if you know your flowers, and are very observant, you might notice that Angel Dahlia does not, in fact, have a dahlia anywhere on her, but instead a different flower. This is for two reasons: 1) Dahlias are %@#*^&%$)! hard to draw, and 2) I might be changing her name, as mentioned above. I really love blackberry blossoms (which are the flowers on her dress), and they go BRILLIANTLY with the color scheme I came up with for my character, but the word for blackberry in japanese is literally 'black strawberry', it's very long (Kuroichigo vs. Daria), and Blackberry sounds too much like the phone-whatever-thing. So I'm at a standstill. Do I use the flower I like better or the flower that sounds better?

In any case, I drew this with pencil, inked with pen, erased, scanned, and colored in Corel PhotoPaint.

Special thanks to :iconmikazukirisa: once more for getting me to create a WP character and for the moral support throughout the drawing of twig-waists and telephone-pole-legs. ^___^ Her character is found here: [link] (And no, I didn't draw this in WP style, but... well, it was hard enough to draw the skirts with the legs bent... And on a roof, too. Yeah, that's a roof they're sitting on... ^___^U Yeeeah. Backgrounds = evil.) By the way, my character's supposed to be purple, hers is supposed to be... pink? Lavender? What color ARE you, Ri?!?! @o@

EDIT: DANGIT!!! I just realized that Orchid's veil's too long... DX Garrrh..... >< And the gloves are too long!!! >O<

Since the word for orchid is Ran, I figure that should be her name (though I don't know a last name yet...) Actually, you got the colors almost exactly right for not having a proper reference.

MAN, I WISH I HAD YOUR MAD COLORING SKILLS! RAWR!! How long does it usually take you to color a picture?

:iconkankurounokugutsu:
lol YAY!!! I didn't know if it was supposed to be that brightly colored...

Uh......... Um.... Well, this one took longer because I was having issues with the transparent veils, but... Around a few hours.....? Maybe half a day? ...Ish...? I really dunno... Some parts are easy, like making the hair all purdy and making the sun-glare, but the roof for example, was REALLY hard to do... I hate buildings.... ><
