Artist's Comments

Waaaaaa….. I meant to have this done like, forever ago. But Faron’s unrelenting cuteness keeps distracting me.

This is a gift for :iconkawaiimon:, referenced from her photograph, [link]
It was brought to my attention that I ought to do a more complete drawing for you, so I hope you like it. ^_^ It’s also a thanks for your doll related support. And because all of your dolls are beautiful, and deserve to have pictures drawn of them. <3

I thought Phoenix was my favorite… but I think I’ve totally fallen in love with Pavel after this. He’s so lusciously vampiric. I think it’s every girls dream to be stolen away by a vampire like him. XD Well…maybe not EVERY girl....
When I saw this picture in Kawaiimon’s gallery the first thing that came to my head was, “I HAVE TO DRAW THIS.” Seriously.

I can‘t say that I‘m entirely satisfied though… I’m starting to think my skills with limited palettes leave much to be desired. All of my color stuff is just too freaking colorful. And when I’m doing a color drawing like this, I fear black. I blame art school for that, they hammered it into my head that artists should use straight black very sparingly, if at all. They insisted that mixing colors together to make black is the way to go, which makes sense I guess. But it gave me this horrible complex that now rears it’s ugly head every time I pick up a black marker.
Also, my marker selection is sad these days. And poor Pavel’s complexion suffered because of it. I simply don’t have the right colors to do his lovely paleness justice. Which was all very disappointing for me, because the subtle colors in the photo are absolutely to die for. TT^TT
So yeah... I dunno if I'm liking this drawing too much. >.>

On the plus side, I have to say that the originals of this one and Jim make an interesting display together. Looking at them side by side is quite a kick. XD

Toolsies: Copic markers, colored pencils, Hi-Tech-C pens, white out on marker paper.
