Description

Birthday gift for =Tessadafox :heart:

w00t 3 minutes past midnight, but my firefox was cool enough to close itself and delete the whole description~ <3
So it's time to rewrite it as good as possible...



Mariah: Mwahahahaahaha! The Light of Destruction is on OUR side~! >D
Tessa: eeeeh.... *confused*
Anne: *in a dark corner* o o; *slurps her milk*
</end of insider joke>
Memo to myself: insider jokes don't seem to be that charming to those, who should understand and like them, anymore...




<div align="justify">I actually DID IT!
By this morning I still thought I'd never make it in time, because after a whole week of nothing but business business business my mum decided to give me even more to do~ <3 "Maria do this! Maria help your brother! Maria help me with the dishes! Maria do that!" Nooo it's not like Maria has to finish a birthday pic for her best friend and actually also has to study for her goddamn last German exam... >>;
Buuuut I actually managed to finish this anyway and I'm proud of it~ <33

In the beginning I wasn't quite sure about what to draw for =Tessadafox's birthday, but looking at Tessa's reference sheet I saw her elemental form again and the idea of drawing her and Mariah the Sartorius again, or.. to be more precisely.. for the first time actually, popped up in my head.
The sketch itself was actually done already in the beginning of November to make sure nothing gets in my way when having to finish 3 birthday gifts and one Secret Santa pic, all in December. Then I did the lineart and basecoloring and maybe some of the shading but then dropped it because I somehow couldn't find the time to draw so I didn't keep on working on it before the end of November was approaching.
As Mariah the Sartorius' "residence" is a sort of castle in a cave behind a waterfall with a lot of shiny crystals in there, I decided to ass at least a few of those in one corner to make it look a little less empty.
Additionally, I figured that it simply doesn't work to draw Mariah the Sartorius without Anne the Mephiles on her side, so I added her in the background just as typical as it could be, slurping her awesome milk, inspired by *Chibi-Metal's old work for the ~Society-of-Light: [link]
What I'm not so happy about is the way Tessa's eyes came out. After shading them they actually ended up looking like they were staring into empty space rather than at Mariah or anywhere else and I couldn't really do anything to make it look better.. but other than that I'm rather satisfied with the result, although I didn't put too much effort into gradients, highlights or other effects, but I think it's already good enough just the way it is.

To you Ingzy, my ultimate mental twin, I hope you like it as well and wish you a

wonderful awesome 19th birthday, like the best you ever had~ :party::cake:

And now come over to Germany for that we can celebrate together~
