===Happy Birthday Ilynalta!
My friend really loves to cosplay for anime, especially for Love Live! School Idol Project (At least I think this is anime). This definitely will not bring as much happiness as the real experience, but I hope as a personalized depiction it makes for a nice gift. Also, my friend has a thing for Marill, the best cuddly ball, so this outfit was inspired by Marill. Maybe one could call her outfit, a “Mare-ill?“Anyways, Ilynalta is a nice friend, though I’ve probably not been helping with that. She definitely deserves much more than what I can offer–and that’s saying something when I’ve combined Para and Marill into one…what an absolute cutie. <3
Love Live! has these really adorable cards, so I wanted to try the design. Of course I could not achieve the same level of details, but I feel I got a pretty accurate imitation of their dress design themes. I’m still learning how to do that efficient and clean shading style, somehow I can’t wrap my head around it. And I definitely spent too much time recreating the card background from scratch >n< At least I got full control over each element, and I think it turned out very well. Though you can easily see where I skipped some details…obviously there must be a plugin to generate all these patterns
