Vitruvian Rose

Description

So, Rose: not evil [link] . That's reassuring. Her dream self emanating weird black stuff [link] is rather less reassuring, however. But it is fun to draw. It's also fun to re-use the Vitruvian thingy again, made up of Rose's "real" self and dream self (she's ended up a bit tall for a 13-year-old in this pic, but that's what comes from using Vitruvian proportions). And, if you hadn't guessed by my gallery, Rose is pretty much my favourite Homestuck character to draw anyway. So it's a triple-whammy.

The bookcases in the background make up the "square" of the Vitruvian diagram, and Rose's magic arcs and feet/robe hem, the circle. I decided to go with black lineart this time, not least because black's kind of a theme in the picture anyway, between the gown and the weird black stuff. I shaded it, too (that reminds me, I need to post the shaded versions of some of those earlier pics).

So okay, why's she suspending her crystal ball like that with the magic? Well, from a drawing point of view, I just wanted a nice centrepiece for the arcs at the top of the screen. As far as I'm concerned she's not doing anything nefarious (symbolic dream self and weird black stuff aside), just chilling out watching John on the crystal ball in a suitably dramatic way. But I suppose you can interpret it your own way.

Ah-mah-zing~
I love it so much. :3 Such a clever concept, using the dream self and the regular self. I don't know much about Vitruvians, just the four armed and feeted man, but it looks very similar and I can see the symbolism. o3o Good job ^^
