Hello fellow Zeviantarts!
As per recent feedback and suggestions from fellow deviants, I think I should give a try in giving out freebies to fellow deviantarts here aince i've been a member of this community for a while.
Dont worry, unlike most other raffles, those who contribute will get a token of points as appreciation
Bear in mind, this only applies to my current active watchers. New ones are automatically excluded from the main prize, though they will still receive the points.
So, whats the catch?
Christmas is coming and I was wondering if i could make something new to add in my list of cooking recipes . Since the community here in Deviantart is pretty diverse, I'm sure that we can all share something which we all love!
So, if anyone can suggest me one or more dishes of your liking, preferably sowhich I held earlier


Inspired by this beautiful song  Silhouette of a Breeze - Emma Victorian Romance OST

I suppose this is my first time drawing something from Victorian Era fashion, and that to, combining it with Asian model. Since i normally draw women warriors or characters in armors, elaborate fashion likes this comes as a challenge for me. The funny thing is that, I had to bribe my japanese colleague with some lunch to see if I can use her face as a base for this character .

Luckily, she pointed out a very nice Manga called "Emma Victorian Romance" by Kaoru Mori, and found a lot of amazing references for Victorian era fashion. The story itself is amazing, and the depth of each character's personality and how they grow, actually touched my feelings

In anycase, this drawing, combines the (beauty of) Japanese Lady of that era, with the English 1880s fashion. Though I'm not sure weather this depiction is actually accurate, I do hope that you will like it eva!
