Ah yes another point! Villain outfits get more revealing, generally, but since you are a younger 'sona you could probably escape that. To be honest I was teetering on the edge of "ok but this isn't quite fanservice-y enough" the entire time I was drawing Karri.
Yup yup. All too true. And the outfits don't have to be revealing: in fact many villains wear bandages all over them in stylish places, like Haiz's VillainSSSSona.

Your art style is so good what the heck.



I like the idea, it's very original! And the drawing is fantastic! Rosie is amazing, I'm surprised people still know about that character.



Welcome to the world of SSSSona! Your art style is very distinctive and I hope to see more of it!


I'm back to bullying other people's ssssonas, hello. :D This time it's Karri, I had free hands as long as the ssssona would survive somehow and - well - they probably will, as long as they get medical help very soon. Inspired by Gísla Saga Súrssonar, where a character gets his stomach cut open and uses his belt to tie down his guts so they won't get in his way while he continues to fight, so warnings for guts hanging out.

They look fine! Just some flesh wounds probably! What's that? Those are entrails!? Uh... someone get team 4 on the line, pronto.



Ten points to Gryffindor for Hiimdaisy reference.

Welcome! :D Hilarious bio. And your art style is so awesome HOW *flails*

Trinka, Día as Rosie the Riveter is the most best :>

BLANKET STATEMENT OF APPRECIATION ALL THIS ART IS AMAZING :D

Eeeeeepppp! I love it! I love her hair, and its very awesome!!!!!
Yyyyyyaaaassss years of drawing floating heads with hair has paid off :D Hehehe, so glad you love it! (ノ´∀`*)ノ*:・゚✧

This looks SO WONDERFUL and the background is AMAZING ;w; and agreed, I love the hair!!!
Tanks bro :> Yo your drawing of Vide for the Art Collaboration is amazing HOW is your style so CUTE and the coloring *SCREECHES*

This is beautiful! I agree with the others about the hair :D
Your art style is so good what the heck.
。・゚ヾ(°∀°)ノ。゚・。*shoves face into blankets*

That's really nice! I can almost feel the warm sunlight! :)
Also love the little scene in the background.
Mission accomplished! And I couldn't resist XD The background needed something and then boom! Some Group 4 people

misea: Her hair looks amazing, the colors are amazing and... Who are those people arguing in the background? And is that Día sitting down?
It's Trinka's Mimmi and... I don't remember who's the other person, lemme check... I think it was DancingRanger's Matthew? And yes, it's Día! c: I think I made her hair a bit too long though ._. (And I think that's Solokov's Strelokov coming back) I'm pretty sure the background scene is so OOC but I needed some people :I

misea: *SCREAM* *SCEAMMMMMM* (how to you make your coloring style so soft and sparkly teach me your secrets)
I shall send a PM because this post is getting ridiculously long unless other people wanna know? Maybe I should make a tutorial... *tries to art* okay maybe not

Here's the finished piece, Kick! I know I could have asked but I get a bit stubborn like"stupid search engine I will find the words I need so you'll give me the pictures I want, I know it's there", but then I got the pictures from you instead. Striped pants without reference is not as narural looking as I would like but still better than white pants. It's an homage to the skirt of a thousand pretty colored strips!

And welcome back, John Candlebury, I've been hoping to see more from you ever since the great drawing of AlmondGodess falconer!
And a big blanket appreciation for the rest of you guys.

I can't speak for Trinka, but Rosie the Riveter still occupies a significant role in U.S. culture (or should I say "memespace"?). 

There is a Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park about 30 miles from my house, at the site of a major wartime shipyard. 
They're having a huge Rosie cosplay (not that the extremely square National Parks Service even knows the word "cosplay") on Aug. 15:

She's become a meme:  http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/propaganda-parodies

Art by me for the collaboration project:



Gee, that cat is gorgeous! Your colors are always so nice and smooth, too.

Thank you! Tim-Tim is based on my cat Joey, he was more than content to lounge about and have his photo taken so I could get the colors right!

congrats you will be forever stuck at food making duty
the collaboaration piece is so pretty!!

Thank you! If it means I can stick everyone else on KP duty, I am all for staying on chef duty!  ;)

Wohoo, let's be cooking buddies! \(^w^)/

YES!

Alethryia, I updated your infodump slide with a link to the new information. Would you like to also update your picture to one of the newer ones, or leave as is?

Thanks - I think leave the slide picture as is for now!  :)

... I think I've arted myself out for the week. Maybe for the next two weeks. *flops in art block hell*

OoooOOOooo ... so pretty!!!  ;D

Eeeeeee!!! So much fun!!!! :D

*EDIT* Pose from Syccas stock

I think the pants are very fun! You drew the fabric wonderfully!

I drew my own character, which came out super cartoonish:



Spoiler: Bio? • show

Name: Mathias Haaning.
Age: 21
Profession: Radio operator.
Nationality: Danish
Area of birth: Reykjavik
Languages: :denmark:, :iceland:
Immunity: Yes

Abilities:
+Experienced seaman (much to his dislike).
+Astronavigator.
+Encyclopedic knowledge about electronics.
-Said enciclopedia only spoke about radios.
-Despises the sea.
-Will not stop telling you how much he hates the sea.

Biographic info:
-The Haaning family owns one of the oldest danish merchant firms, although the term "merchant firm" might be quite an overstatement, as their whole fleet consists of only 2 family operated ships. And as family tradition dictated, Mathias, along with his 5 older siblings, was raised aboard the family's merchant ships.

-Very friendly and outgoing, for someone who spent his whole childhood in a floating tin can.

-He joined the danish army at the age of 15, partly because he was hoping for an opportunity to explore the silent world as a cleanser, but mostly because he wanted  an opportunity to never set foot on a ship again. It didn't really work well, as he was assigned to coastguard duty, a post he had to endure for almost six years.

-After that he was finally  relocated to the Oresund Bridge Military base, where he works as a radio operator and maintainer. The job is considerably better than the last, if only because it occasionally involves repairing the relay stations along the silent world coasts.




Its almost funny how hard it was for me to come up with that bio, guess writing backgrounds isn't really my thing.

Welcome, your art is absolutely adorable!!! Your character bio is also excellent, I love the irony of his history and station!  ;)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And to all:

All the art coming out right now is so much fun ... I may have to get on the magical school girl and villain train!

Yay! So glad you like it! I figured since you tried the salt on me, I would have to try it on you. Also glad the rock is a big hit  :D
(and as I've offered to the others I've done art trades with, if I ever see you in real life, you may have the original)
Hehe, oh yeah, you've managed quite a good streak of giving the physical copies to their proper 'sonas haven't you :P. Well maybe if you go to Japan again I'll be there  ^_^ (or Wales, but I won't be around there for very much longer). Your art rate over the last few days has been impressive stuff as well, much pretty watercolours :) so did you catch the hair-trigger art reflex from Haiz, is it contagious? Should we be worried?

Here's my half of the art trade with daiseerose!

:o Oh this is so beautiful, and so much thought put into it as well! It's just like a snap out of their lives and I wish we had that sunshine over here ^_^ It's too bad you're too tired to art, I would have really loved to have seen a tutorial, but maybe next time you draw something you can take a screenshot of the progress or whatever works best for you?
Here I am with an art trade, I'M SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG.
Hope you like it; I felt like Rosy the Riveter would be a fitting model for Dia, who loves to fix things and DON'T NEED NO MAN, NUH-UH!

heehee, that's such an excellent idea and Dîa seems like just the perfect fit for Rosy :P The colouring is so tidy as well, seems almost like the actual poster
I drew my own character, which came out super cartoonish:

Its almost funny how hard it was for me to come up with that bio, guess writing backgrounds isn't really my thing.
Ah this is good, you've so much character in your drawing style ^_^ I like how you're fitting this around what we already know of Oresund base and don't worry, it took me a few weeks until I wore an actual bio for mine so at least you managed to stick them all together from the start!

Here's the finished piece, Kick! I know I could have asked but I get a bit stubborn like"stupid search engine I will find the words I need so you'll give me the pictures I want, I know it's there", but then I got the pictures from you instead.

Heh, you've been taunting us with WIPS for too long now for this one :P, but the finished piece is very good ^_^ You've really got a good grasp of dynamic pose after all that practice you've been doing and the swooshy cloak and glowy swords are super cool!



Also, Villain-Sonas are becoming a thing now? Oh gosh I so want in on this >"< the ones so far look so cool and so much fun, but art trades and no scanner. Maybe I'll have to join you guys a bit later in villain-land :)
