I am playing with my new markers, gleefully, and updating a lot of my older portraits at Portrait Adoption, for a double-whammy.
My offer to you: dictate the color choices for one of these portraits. You are under absolutely no obligation to adopt the final product, though you will have first chance at it if you desire.
All you have to do is tell me what colors I should use! Anything goes - I'm willing to try bright blue hair or silver eyes. I think I have puce here somewhere if you really want me to use it.
It's first come, first served. These are the first eight that I'd like to tackle, just pick a portrait number and tell me how to proceed. I can't promise they'll be done super fast, but I'd like to be finished by the end of February.

ETA again: Buh. Indigo's just Scientist, Science Master is purple? I should really look these things up before posting.

I thought maybe it could be Kalaida, from
But it says 'young scientist,' so likely not a Science Master. (I have to double-check the colors almost every time, too...)
We might push it to 28 and Scientist in indigo, but that's probably older than most people would say "young scientist" for and almost certainly older than the air of innocent that had Kalaida surprised at someone paying attention to her.
And I saw more of that in college. It keeps going if you habitually dress in ways and frequent places that play down your sexuality. When you don't think of sex things very often, and you are mostly around other people who have their heads in a book or a beaker, it's very easy to grab clothes you happen to like or that somebody told you were appropriate, and have no ever-living idea what message they send.
I can only imagine this is worse in the Empire because they have a lot more scientists and thus a lot more science-territory for them to hole up in.
Kallaida has an abstract grasp of sex, beauty, and fashion. She just doesn't usually pay a lot of attention to it, and suddenly she's not in a school or a lab but on a cruise ship where those are major topics. The idea that she's sexy enough to stand out in a crowd is new enough to her that it's still startling.
Sure, there are people who are late bloomers, or never going to be interested, or are actively suppressing their sex drives for one reason or another. But a whole lot of people around that age are busy discovering that sometimes people *are* fascinating.
What color for the eyes?
Otherwise, she will go up for adoption, just let me know. :)
Consider a coloring book of these headshots - the ones with the dark bold inking make me want to try coloring them.
You have first dibs on him. $5 for web adoption, $7.50 to send this original to you. (The original has a little bit of noise in the background and is quite tiny - and I printed the linework to color, so it's actually only half original. :)) There is no obligation, of course!
could go many different ways...pastels, like pink for the rose lips and corset, light blonde hair, light blue for the shoulder part of the dress and skirt...or the shoulder part could stay while...violet or blue eyes
Or, blonde with red rose, lips and corset ( I like dark reds, but that might be a bit too dark), *peers* are those ivy leaves on the corset? Hmm...white around the shoulders, and green skirt...
Not sure about the color for the background, was thinking a light blue ( which might make for difficulty with the blue dress shoulder thing option, unless that is a darker blue and the background is lighter...), or you could drop in W/C green on wet paper...
Hmmm...it might require Photoshop coloring to see how things would look before really coloring, unless one of those combos catches your fancy.. :)
Or something totally different, green eyes (or golden), fire engine-ish red hair & lips, yellow rose and corset, light(or medium or dark...depending on how the rest looks) green skirt, white around the shoulder dress bit...
Such a pretty picture. :)
