Miss Crimson - Complete

DONE!!! Hope you like it!


Miss Crimson

Name: Alena Hotchkiss
Age: 26
Birthdate: February 14th
Height: 5ft 6in
Weight: Secret
Favorite Color: Scarlet
Favorite Flower: Rose

A modest, humble yet helpless romantic – Alena Hotchkiss lives the life of a rich princess in an old fairytale. Unlimited wealth, radiant charm, and down to earth persona; this enchantress lives a picture perfect life. The only thing that could ever ruin her image is to discover her hidden personality - to challenge or question her conviction.

Useless Trivia: She hates labor intensive work.

Inspire: Warlock class (Sword of the New World: Granado Espada) + Marie Antoinette (Coppla's Motion Picture) + Ivy (Namco/Soul Calibur)

Art Center - Miss Crimson

Visited Art Center again this past weekend to show my family. I felt really excited but at the same time worried about what I may have gotten myself into. Old town Pasadena is nice 8-) right now I'm in the process of trying to find a place to live (NO luck - augh).


I finally have some time to do some CHARACTER DESIGNING 8-) Inspiration the female Elementalist and Witch classes from Granado Espada (PC MMOPRG) + Ivy from Soul Calibur (Videogame). Still in the process of coloring it, my friend Marcus showed me a GREAT way to shade on Photoshop, so I'm finally utilizing that ability 8-). Hope you like how I'm coming along with this particular character.


Her name is currently Miss Crimson. A seductive sorceress who loves roses. I intend on coming up with some sort of fun and exciting profile and story for her! Along with Countess and Miss Game (previous works which I have yet to show the public).

Calm Before the Storm...

...I'll begin posting up work sometime nearing the end of this week (after I graduate from High school 8-)!!! FREEDOM!), so once again, sorry for the long pause, although, I doubt anyone is even keeping up with this blog for now...

Why Art?
- Cookies and milk are meant for each other - Me and art are meant for each other. Throughout my life of constant dissapointments and let-downs, art was the only thing that has never betrayed or dissapointed me. I've been creating "Art" since I was about 3 or so, I remember my kindergarden teacher, Ms. Sekamoto, saying that I should go to in art school (can't let her down now, can I?). It's neccessary that I pursue art.
