Halloween chibis: Ara and Celi

Description

Tumblr post here!

So for my Halloween pics this year, I decided to draw the main three characters + mascot from my webcomics Legendary Beings Ara & Celi. Here, it’s the titular Ara and Celi! (The other two are here: Halloween chibis: Miyara and Kimberly by JadineR )

To be honest, I had a hard time figuring out in what to dress…an angel and a demon. :XD: Especially Ara, who I originally did not draw at first. I had my backstory reasons (her being an angel was NOT one of them) but I felt so bad that I left her out, I quickly drew her up—then I blanked out on who she should be dressed as! The only character that kept popping up was Boss from Metal Gear Solid, so, eh. *shrugs. Why not, you know? I think it worked wonderfully, imo. 

Celi’s outfit is a fun callback to younger me. When I made comics of A&C for myself a stone age ago, at one point I drew Celi with her version of Eternal Ara’s outfit. Her ‘dress’ had jagged edges along the inner sides though, because she was “BLAGHA BLAGH DEVIL”. XD I honestly cannot remember WHY I did the design otherwise…but like 90% of my ideas for that proto-comic, I happily discarded it right around high school. Funny enough, in contrast to her normal outfit, it was very covered up :D

But I liked the idea of having at least one “Halloween-themed” outfit for her, so my always indecisive self made two versions. You can see the obvious Halloween-y one here. :B

I did the same type of coloring as here and here, but amped it up a little. I fell in love with it more than I have before, to the point where I’m seriously considering either using it for all my chibis or for Ara & Celi work only!

I also used very basic Photoshop brushes for the backgrounds, trying to see if I could depend on what I have instead of outside resources. But I had very cool brushes from :iconkecky: and :iconthetrueguilty: and ended up using a bit of them too! I think with these two, I used more from them both.

I hope some of you like these! ‘w’7

I like that left outfit best. It's conservative but pretty badass!
