[hbd] One Happy Family

Description

This was done in May of 2013.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAY-CHAN!!!!!!
So I’m a little late.
But better late than never!!
I’m really surprised at myself—I did this all in one day. That amazes me O_O

I feel like a terrible cheater for this, but nothing I tried worked for me. So I finally went base hunting to reference this ‘cause my skills aren’t that great with children. I followed the ref as best as I could, so if the anatomy feels off, that’s why. Except for the face shapes ‘cause I always screw those up. (See ref among credits)
I tried a couple new things with this one, mainly the see-through top Kay has on and doing her streaks without lining them. You can’t see them as well this way, but oh well. Kay’s lips were new, too. I’m not very good at defining the lips like that, but Kay always has beautiful lips, so I figured I’d try (used some of Kay-chan’s pictures as reference). Also children. I rarely draw children because they’re really hard for me. I also designed all the clothing myself and had to do guess work for Aelita’s color scheme ‘cause I’ve only ever really seen her in her school uniform. I also have no idea how Kay-chan wants these three to look at these ages, so I did my best.
I tried to get Kay’s eyes to match the style Kay-chan uses, but I feel I didn’t do as well as I did previously.
Still experimenting with shading.
The background is supposed to be a wall. The Kaiba family now has green walls because reasons.

I imagine this scene to be having a sleepover with Cat’s family and doing last minute pictures before bed. So these three are in pajamas posing for a camera. Yeah. Aelita’s holding a pillow because reasons.

Happy birthday, Kay-chan! Sorry I’m late, but I hope you like it at least! And I hope it’s better than last year’s sorry attempt at a birthday gift *shot*

Cute family ^^ <3 Why does Kay have a see-through top for pajamas? Haha. I do think the whole picture turned out really good, though.
