[Art Contest] Art of the Lotus / WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

[Freshie]

Hello and welcome to the Lotus Festival art contest!
What a beautiful peaceful festival! And to celebrate, we're calling all artists to bring their creative side out in this art contest!

:: Theme ::
The theme is of the four dragon clans and their leaders!

Quote:

Earth Leader: Di-Qiu Tu The Earth Dragons are a stoic and regal Tribe. They place great importance on their outward appearance, and strive to keep to their traditional ideals. Though they aren't known for being extravagant, their style reflects their personality: Sleek, fashionable, low-key with strong earthen colors to hold it together. Wind Leader: Fuu Sho The Wind tribe are the most carefree of the Dragonic Tribes, preferring to dress light due to their more active lifestyles. They're defined by their simple yet elegant fashions, and keep to a more light/gray color scheme. Water Leader:Mizu Hanako The Water Dragons are the most varied of the tribes, and their society is reflected by this. They keep to their traditions, but are quick to accept change and could be considered the most progressive. The styles of the Water Tribe are some of the most daring and creative, giving them a distinctive look from the other tribes. Fire Leader: Huo Lien The Fire Tribe is probably the most distinctive out of all of the tribes, due to their extravagant nature and society steeped in tradition. Though they are quick to adjust, they place importance on keeping with their customs, and will sometimes refuse to cooperate if it goes against them. Their Fashions are usually excessive, making use of gold ornaments and outrageous hairstyles. Sometimes bordering on the ridiculous.

Even though he's from a cheerful tribe, I'm sure even they have their sad moments. I know it's simple, but that sorta suits them, don't you think? x3

Medium Used: Traditional drawing, colored in GIMP Comments: I wanted to show fancy miss Huo Lien going on a shopping spree at the Closet Boutique. Changed out some of her accessories for ones found in the shop, as girls do love to wear their pretties out of the store sometimes.

I wasn't able to add a pattern to most of the clothes due to a mess-up with the layers. Also I somewhat changed the skin tone of some of them. This was quite fun to do.
