Annette--gothic lolita and puppeteer--possesses other people to do her dirty work for her, creating her very own army for war.

Haven't done a contest in a while so I thought I'd try this one. Especially since when I saw the theme, an idea popped into my head.

Starting off trying to figure out hairstyle design...

Trying out a couple of outfits on her. I'm leaning towards the one on the left.

In the interest of trying to finish in time (thank goodness for deadline extensions!) and to go more with the war theme, I've changed the idea for my illustration. Here's how far I got over the weekend, as I unfortunately didn't have a chance to do anything with this over the holidays:

@threees Thanks a bunch! I feel like working on my style and painting technique is a never-ending battle, though, hah.
