For my dutch and elfian friends, this saturday I'll be dressing up as Ruffnut once again when I'm going to the Elf Fantasy Fair in Haarzuilens. On sunday I will wear my Valkyrie costume. 

See ya!

Hiya folks, people who read this,

This weekend, me and my wig will be showing my Ruffnut outfit at Elf Fantasy Fair Arcen (elfia.com). If you read this and you're also going, if you see me, come and say hi! It'll be fun! I'm so excited. I've never been to eff arcen before (i have been going to haarzuilens for six years though)... like... aaaarrhg!! yippeee!!

okay.
bye.


ps. sorry for my drawing art inactivity. I've been busy

C'mon guys!! I'm almost at a hundred likes!!  

My facebook page is for regular updates and work in progresses. it's fun!! yay!

Thumbs up!!: facebook.com/marijedudinkart

do let me know if you have one too so I can like you back!!

The star is going to disappear. Yup, and I'm probably not going to prolong it. I really have no idea what the benefit was of me being a premium user on DA, other than the jounal skins, which I never use, and the polls where I've only asked about three useless questions because I thought I had to or something or maybe if I was curious how many people would vote... mostly 6 or 7...

So yeah... 

No worries though, the star may have gone, but I'll still be here and even though I haven't been uploading much the past couple of months, I am looking forward to the summer holidays when I don't have college homework so I can draw comics all day yay. And maybe do some commissions if anyone is up for it, burcurs I did the same thing last year and no-one  replied

c'mon guys, I don't draw for free, I need food in me belly... See, that's why I quit being a premium member

Okay...

See you around!! 

That's the only other explanation next to schoolwork that I haven't been uploading any drawn art lately, because this costume had to be done before april, so I guess I'm right on schedule.

Inspiration

I based my sources off of several sources. I began with How to train your dragon. Huh? how? Well... I was playing the school of dragons game and I came across a valkyrie helmet shown in the shop. If you compare that helmet to mine, you may actually see the similarities, hehe. 
Other inspiration sources for me were comic books, movies, and mythology. I've looked at a lot of pictures and designed different things before I made the final thing.

Although these images look finished, some things are still missing. I made four giant buttons that I will sew onto the dress where the red strings are attached. But that's easy peasy. Another thing is that the breast plate and the back plate (which you cannot see due to the cloak) need to be more secured, because it kind of slides upwards because the cloak is pulling it up. And I made these photo's not thinking about hair or make-up. My hair is greasy because I haven't washed it and I am literally wearing yesterday's make up XD. I also bought hair extensions to put in my hair to make it longer and thicker and to put braids in it.  

   

I'm really looking forward to seeing all my Dutchy friends on the 19th, 20th and 21st of april in Haarzuilens!
