The Memoirs of Mina de Malfois
I figure others have their own visualizations of Mina and mine probably doesn't look like anyone else's, so this might be weird for people. [info]mina_de_malfois said she's a slightly plump blonde, and I'm thinking she's probably not rich enough to indulge her aristocratic tendencies except in a MMORPG paid for by someone else, but how much of her online persona transfers to her offline appearance I don't know.



Oh, also, if you aren't reading [info]mina_de_malfois, you're missing out.

(I'm rooting for Mina/Arc!)

I love it! One thing I adore about your pictures is how much you always manage to fit into the frame; the hair, the Sanguinity, the LotR books, etc. It reminds me of some kind of Renaissance painting, a central figure surrounded by all the tools of her trade.

Thank you! I was hoping that even if it wasn't exactly how people had imagined things in the Mina de Malfois world, it would be kind of recognizable all put together, so I'm glad it worked for you! <3 <3

So, actually, I think my favourite bit of this is the "Lady" written above her "Mina" nametag. Just-- how it's handwritten and a bit smudged; that little detail is so cool.
Other than that, I'm crazy jealous of the way the flat coloring works for you-- your lineart's always so perfect, and the colors you use remind me simultaneously of stained class, Mucha, and WWII propaganda posters.
I mean to tell you this every time you post a drawing, but I always chicken out or something. Um, I'm gonna go back to lurking for a billion more years now.

You have no idea how happy it makes me that you noticed the smudgy "lady"! Half of these things I put in as little jokes to myself, so I'm always really delighted whenever they're noticed!

*blows kisses* Thank you for your really sweet comment!

The room looks so cramped (like most people's rooms I've seen photos of on LJ, actually), but the details are brilliant.

The hair, the sandwich, the money and the CD. *grin* It's all there.

Even the style just works.

And Mina/Arc? I'm just going with the subtext. :D

There is a goofy smile on my face and much love in my heart for everyone involved in the Mina saga, and just wanted to thank you for contributing to the goofiness and love. The talent and generosity of this fandom have renewed my hope and trust in this generation: "O, brave new world that hath such creatures in it!"
