another alicia from aria undine company

ok what's going on here? the coloring style is different from the usual. of course it's different, coz i didn't do the coloring

this is a collab work between me and melissa ---> heheh gotchaa!!
i did the sloppy lineart and she did the amazing coloring. i made the lineart about a month ago. i gave her the lineart yesterday without any reference pic on purpose, coz i just wanna see her interpretation of young alicia. heheh, melissa is only 13yo (same here, but doubled outside ) and she did a very good job with the coloring in a short time all in one go. she did all the coloring with a mouse.
i love how she colored the eyes. makes her look like a rich girl from royal family . i was quite surprised that she decided to put her on a white gondola instead of black. when i drew the sketch, i was imagining alicia at age 14, still single status (part-time gondolier) standing on a black gondola saying "konnichiwa" (good afternoon). but this is much better. and this image of alicia is enough to make me fall off the bridge eheheh

i notice that her undine hat was mistakenly colored, the blue stripe were supposedly only on the collar part of her hat

of course i'll re-submit the fixed version.
Thank you, , i can see how much you love ARIA through this painting.

and to all my friends and devwatchers, you can help her out and share your thoughts to this young deviant on her page:
