  • Artist Info: Hello! Those who used to know me before are probably wondering about the sudden change. Those of you meeting me for the first time might want to know a little more about Naledi in general. 3nodding <br />
    <br />
    Naledi started off as a simple concept: a gender-swap of the Shaman sprite from Super Mario RPG. I'd always been fascinated with mystics and mages, so the "Black Mage from Another Mother" was no exception. After throwing together the simple outfit, I'd showed it off to a few who really thought it pulled together well.<br />
    <br />
    Then I wondered if it could be drawn...<br />
    <br />
    My own art skills are... decent, but lacking a certain quality that you could find in some artists around Gaia. To test the waters to see if this outfit could inspire or at least spark interest, I started posting around the freebies forum. Surprisingly, I did get quite a few nibbles, and I've included these little freebie giftarts in my profile.<br />
    <br />
    That was enough to cinch it and make me want to keep the character for good, scrapping my old idea in exchange for a taste of this new, exotic appeal. Going through various items, I realized I could change her expressiveness, even despite her pitch-black skin. I could even mold some of my past outfit ideas to fit the new me well, meaning some of the excessive items I had to buy before could be sold to cover the costs.<br />
    <br />
    Naledi, in closing, was a fun idea to pursue.. and even more fun to expand on. I hope I can get art of her in all her little outfits!
