:bulletblue: Greetings everyone. It's me, CyberB~:bulletblue:
I know; it's been a long time.

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm alive, in Brandon (a city near Tampa), and in the path of the approaching hurricane Irma. Depending on its strength, my family and I will either wait it out, or flee to my step-grandma's home by the east coast, in Fort Pierce.

Aside from that, I also needed to share something with you.
I never stopped arting.
I know I haven't uploaded or posted anything here for too long, but I never stopped caring and wanting. (The only arts I really completed all this time were a couple of digital sketch commissions IRL.)
If not making incomplete digital sketches, I was making a looot of incomplete pen doodles. Pen sketches of characters, game ideas, etc, but hardly complete. :typerhappy: When you're working full-time at an office and have a pen & pad available, that's what makes it out.
But what I've always had trouble doing is finishing my art, because of my perfectionistic procrastination. I want it to look just right; even if it's the digital sketch, before I get to outlining, even then I go into detail and keep meticulously redoing lines as though it's supposed to be the finished project itself, and my progress suffers for it.
But I never stopped thinking of my characters and more scenarios for them and how I'd love for you to see them in their finished perfection.

:judge: Since things are as they are, though, I thought- why not just show you these sketches today.
Sketches of a personal project of this year; to present the two sides of my art, my two main FCs- both appear like me (in different times of my life) and are the stars of their respective parts in my creative life-
Princess Boo B, princess by title -and- Beata, priestess in training.
One designed originally for Super Mario games, the other originally by the Silent Hill series
:bulletwhite: Boo B the brighter side, Beata the darker side :bulletblack:
(Yeaa, most of you guys haven't ever seen Beata, and that's because she belongs to my mature art gallery ^^ but that's what this art project is for; to introduce both to all)

Here you see the two pen doodles that came out when I started thinking up this idea.

:aww: As you might have noticed, both Boo B and Beata have sashes in their design.  In my first idea for the sketch, I thought of it in banner dimensions, focusing on their faces, with their distinct sashes curling behind them. (This may still come out with the finished product; maybe to be a header to my galleries, or a banner for my forum signatures.)
Then, I realized I wanted to present them wholly, rather than just their faces, because that'd kinda go against the point of introducing them. So, I doodled the general posing, having them mirror each other, showing right away even more of their similarities; chiefly, that they both float~ Also, we see more of their differences, mostly about the location of their sashes. Boo B's sash loops around her arms and usually rests behind her shoulders; Beata's sash(es) loop around her legs and bind in a bow around her ankles. Either way, their designs work great together as both promise to show my favorite motif in my art- whimsical flowing lines<3
:clap: I do love how their designs managed to be both similar and contrasting in that way~

And here's the digital sketch that emerged from my concept. (pic taken in April)
Has it progressed since then? Yes, but I'm unsure if I should start outlining. Again, that perfectionist in me wants the "rough" sketch to be complete before I make with lining. >w< Darn me. ^w^ But, I still wanted to share, and I dearly hope that not only does it bring you delight, but it also helps you keep faith in me. I'm so SO sorry for not giving you art all the time, and I hope you'll believe that some day I will.

:liquisoft: If the hurricane doesn't wash me and my art to sea, anyway ^^; 

:iconblueheartplz:For my fellow people in danger of Irma; keep faith. We're all in this together. And for everyone in general, much love to you. Love and blessings to you all :huggle:

Thank you all who voted for my entry in the Belle of the Brawl, both in the initial voting, and the Sudden Death vote, giving me 2nd Place in the Belle of the Brawl Contest!
Hee :clap: seeing the phrase "Sudden Death" made me totally imagine the Smash announcer calling it, and seeing Princess Boo B and Princess Marzipan loaded up for their final battle. Ah me~

Seriously, it was a close one. ^_^ Inspired me to doodle this doodle, actually.

Again, thank you all, and: CrystalCrowned? Pallypie? Your art and your Final Smashes rocked.
:iconbowplz: It was an honor~

May I present the return of Princess Boo B, in my entry for the MariosLostGirls' Belle of the Brawl contest~

W00! :w00t: Wasn't that a grueling contest? Did you enter? Or are you going to after the delay? (I think there's another week or 2 so you have time. You should enter! >w< I know I'm tempted to do revisions and improvements on it now that there's more time, but then who knows when I'll finish!)
Well, it certainly was a challenge, and it finally forced me to do something I've been meaning to do forever; design Princess Boo B a Smash Bros Outfit!
Now, the dynamic pose and angle of my contest entry kinda obscured some details, so this post is to share her redesign and better explain it.

:bulletblue: This is a.. REDESIGN REVEAL! :bulletblue:

~ Princess Boo B's Smash Outfit! ~


Forgive these rather simple drawings ^~^;; These rough sketches are just to show the differences between Boo B's original dress and her Smash dress.

171887_143733028243_BotB-BooB1.jpg

Like how I took inspiration from Princess Peach's NES/SNES dress to design Princess Boo B's dress, I too followed her lead when it came to designing for Smash.
Like Princess Peach's dress, it became more formal and detailed, which I admired, but also feared how I would go about my details. So I made Boo B's non-descript belly-sash into a cincher, with an attached sheer overskirt. The overskirt is pretty pale, nearly white, but when over her now darker dress (which is the darker shade of her old dress's hem), it then looks like the ligher color of the old dress. (Yay for layers!) Then, keeping in Peach's tradition, an even darker hem was added. (And yes, she still has the white petticoat underneath) Also, Princess Boo B's iconic brooch is still here,but has been moved upward to her neck, and her small sash has been lengthened to be a lace collar-and-sash. Quite dignified next to her slightly shaped puff-sleeves. Same with her gloves, lengthened and given a fancy hem. (And you might not notice until I post a legit lined and colored picture, but there is also a lace overlay on her upper chest, mostly hidden by the brooch and sash.)

Dainty and dignified, Princess Boo B floats into SMASH!

(an extra drawing I started, and I think will be her official Smash artwork when I finish it)

:bulletblue: So! What do you think? Like the new outfit? :bulletblue:

:clap: Thank you for your watches, faves, and support. I hope to bring more Princess Boo B art (as well as others that are long overdue)!
^^; I just have to apologize for the silences in between. I suffer from Perfectionistic Procrastination. ( TwT I'm an INFJ )

Love you guys! >3^

So, you also curious about the Final Smash you see her performing? That :floating: will be a future deviation.

(No worries, it won't be so long a wait; it will be a sketchdump explaining the sequence of her Final Smash :aww: Keep an eye out for it!)
