L'Art de Rouge

[Rad]

Please pardon my pathetic attempt at French...

Anyway, allow me to explain, as I was watching anime I wondered ‘hey, wouldn’t it be cool if Vive had its own custom art?’ & Since Vive has quite a few artistic members, I thought I’ll start off this thread with some ‘assignments’ of sorts. (Of course, our glorious leader, Fufu will add to this thread with what art she thinks Vive will need as well.)

Currently, I’m working on a series of things depicting various characters from Vive as ‘member wanted’ signs, ‘welcome’ signs, general guild advertisement, etc. If you’re an artist and have the time please do join me in my endeavors.

Anyhow, this first one is only a concept sketch of how I imagine Lola to look like. The inspiration was: “You can’t control Rouge but Rouge can control you.” Which I thought went with the theme: “You can’t have Lola but she can have you.” PLEASE DON’T KILL ME ANNA (if I misinterpreted your character)

If anyone hs any suggestions in terms of how to improve these drafts then please do post so I can edit and re-upload an improved version.

SO…hopefully I’ll be able to complete a few more of these for other characters so we can pick the ones we like best to be redrawn using Photoshop, colored and completed. Thanks.

Come on fellow artists! Let's work together on this project! :D

Rad! eue
This is so adorable! If we make some, do we just post them here? <3
I'm so excited!

[Rad]

Thank you Ellie,
I am SO GLAD that you want to help. I love you~ ;_;
Yup, once you're finished just post it here. It can just be a concept sketch too, doesn't have to be the final thing.
You're free to do whatever makes you most comfortable. ^_^

I love you too, Rad. eue
But hey, here's a concept piece. I was too lazy to find a real picture, so I drew this in until I make something... more official. Yeah. Thoughts?

Oh~ I like it! Looks like a poster. :3 I love the idea~ :D
&That's fine~ You are welcome to just complete it whenever you have the time. This is like...a brainstorm base for ideas. :3

[Ellie]

Just another thought. It's Anna's picture of Elsie. owo
I have a red rouge version which I'll post if you'd like.

The original photographer and person in that photograph might not sanction our use of their image for advertising Vive La Rouge.
Therefore, I think when it comes to our project (are you okay with calling our project 'L'Art de Rouge'?) we should just stick with 100% our own art/photography.
That image can still be used for something else though. :D

The handsome fellow in this concept sketch is Dominic who is roleplayed by Shadow.

The point of the phrase was to basically say ‘Vive La Rouge won’t give you a chance to be bored’ but I messed up on how I was trying to convey that…

Dominic is probably thinking: Why are my women always so late?
Well, they’re probably preparing for their ‘date’ with you, silly~ :D

As I was drawing this I thought: Omg, his reference picture reminds me of Izaya Orihara from Durarara. :D

Took me ages to figure out how to use Photoshop again but here is the completed line art for Dominic.
Next step is to color it...
OMG I AM SO DESPERATE for help choosing the right colors for this. xD

& Here we have the almost completed product done completely using Photoshop. :D
Sorry if the coloring looks a little...off. I'm still refreshing my memory of how to use this program...
Please ignore the pink background. It's just there so I could see clearly what I was doing.
Please suggest what background / words would best match this image so I can get it all 100% complete. :D
Thank you~
