Butterfly Master Preaura

The reason I found out about Our Flag Means Death is because one of the artists I follow started drawing lots of fanart and then also said it helped with her art block. Turns out it's true! After sketching so much I managed to finally churn out this "official" Preaura costume!

Ever since her inception I wanted a kimono on her, but never really got the hang of drawing anything that looked remotely fitting. Even after I bought myself two kimonos, I still couldn't get it right (though I did get close with the cloud kimono I gave her in Deadly Patience).

Turns out Ed/Stede's pink gown is extremely inspirational, and I reckon it helped get this design going. I'm so happy with it!

Compare this to the very original version I drew of her. It's amazing that I kept everything the same pretty much!

You make Stede happy

I'm not as happy with this one as the Ed side, capturing Rhys' likeness is much more difficult for me, but I did really want to draw both sides. I kind of rushed Ed's hair too! There is such thing as hair fatigue XD

I reckon what makes Ed happy is... you.

This was such an enjoyable picture to draw. Plus, I feel I finally got the likeness of Taika in this one; it's my best representation of likeness yet! Plus hair is so therapeutic to draw, like a soothing death kind of feeling. Also omg his hand. I loved drawing his hand. I can't imagine hands when I draw without reference so I'm so happy at how that turned out too!

I was super apprehensive about drawing this because my idol once complained about drawing kissing to be the biggest, messiest challenge ever, and I was so worried it would turn out like how she described it:

But, luckily, it turned out really well!

Hooray for believing in myself!
