โข โข โข Hello, my Dazzling Darlings! ( โขฬ ฯ โขฬ )โง โข โข โข
Beautiful & Brave Fox; I love her so much ~ ! โฅ
โ ยกDulces y Brillantes Buenos Deseos para todos, amigos !
Lamento muchรญsimo el haber tardado en publicar nuevamente, aรบn cuando mi meta es ser mรกs constante, se me hizo complejo tanto fรญsica como emocionalmente sentarme a escribir, aรบn cuando ya tenia listo este dibujo luego de dedicarle mucho cariรฑo coloreando durante 3 dรญas y estar vibrando de la sola idea de poder compartirlo, despuรฉs de todo es otra Magical Girl sรบper especial para mi: la siempre llamativa y glamorosa Ahri โฅ
โ Sweet, Glowing, and Good Wishes to all of you, Friends!
Iโm so sorry for taking so long on posting once more, even when my goal is to be constant, I found it to be a little complicated -both physically and emotionally- to sit down and write, even when the drawing was already done after dedicating so much love to it, coloring for about 3 days and basically vibrating on the idea of finally sharing it with the community. After all, this is another Magical Girl we are talking about, who is truly special for me: super eye-catching & ever glamorous, Ahri.
Cada que querรญa escribir, simplemente las palabras no me salรญan o no me expresaba de la forma correcta. Muchas cosas estรกn pasando ahora mismo en el mundo, y la presiรณn que causa espiritualmente para mi resulta abrumadora, aรบn cuando trataba de esforzarte por continuar haciendo las cosas que amo.
Sin embargo, luego de este largo break para respirar, creo que volver a abrir la carpetita donde tenรญa todo el contenido, me ha ayudado a sentirme con mejor รกnimo. Especialmente porque de entre todas las Star Guardians, esta es una de mis favoritas mรกs allรก de su look o actitud, sino por como su historia es fundamental para todo el plot de esta Skinline. Espero que mi arte le haga justicia a este personaje
( โขฬ ฯ โขฬ )โง โฅ โฅ โฅ
Yet, every time that I would attempt to start, words simply wouldnโt come out or I wasnโt expressing myself in the correct way. Many things are happening around the world right now, and the spiritual pressure I felt was truly overwhelming, no matter how much effort I attempted to place in order to proceed to do stuff I loved.
However, after this long break to breathe once more, I think opening the folder where I had all the visual content already prepared, has helped me to feel better. Especially because this is one of my favorites among all the Star Guardians beyond her look or attitude, but also due to how her own story is fundamental for all this skinlineโs plot. I hope my art makes her justice!

Trรกs el rotundo รฉxito de la primera entrega de Star Guardians en el 2016, Riot Games decidiรณ proseguir con la historia en una especie de 'segunda temporada', de la cual Ahri es bรกsicamente la protagonista. Una chica que a simple vista parece popular, inquebrantable, de actitud fuerte, confiada y una autoestima imposible de derribar. โSin embargo eventualmente, con la apariciรณn de una segunda Cinemรกtica para esta skinline, nos damos cuenta que hay un trasfondo mayor a lo que la Gumiho nos muestra en la superficie.
Asunto en el que estuve pensando durante todo el tiempo en el que hacia el sketch para esta ocasiรณn. Siempre suelo iniciar haciendo toda la forma del cuerpo, tratando de que sea lo mรกs exacto posible antes de agregar la vestimenta. Tanto por practica para seguir recordando como dibujar la figura como para asegurar que las telas y demรกs se vayan a ver de forma adecuada โฅ
Como dato particular, esta es la primera vez que procure realizar el torso antes que colocar la cabeza del personaje. Vi ese consejo en Twitter, y me quedรณ la curiosidad por intentarlo. โ Admitirรฉ que no es de mis mรฉtodos predilectos pero fue interesante de probar โฅ
After the resounding success of the first release of Star Guardians in 2016, Riot Games decided to continue the story in some sort of 'second season, of which Ahri is basically the main character. A girl who at first glance seems popular, unbreakable, with a strong attitude, confidence, and a self-esteem that is impossible to knockdown. -However eventually, with the emergence of a second Cinematic, we realize that there's a bigger backstory to what the Gumiho shows us on the surface.
This is something I was thinking about during the whole time I was making the sketch for this occasion. I always start by making the whole body shape, trying to make it as accurate as possible before adding the clothing. Both for practice to keep remembering how to draw the figure and to make sure the fabrics and such are going to look the right way โฅ
On a side note, this is the first time I tried to draw the torso before placing the head of the character. I saw that tip on Twitter, and I was curious to try it. - I'll admit it's not one of my favorite methods but it was interesting to try โฅ
ยกY luego empezรณ la temida odisea!
C o l o r e a r
Si bien Colorear me produce un estado de Paz Mental, a su vez puede darme picos de ansiedad porque a veces me preocupa daรฑar accidentalmente todo. Creo que es la constante de haberme adaptado a bocetear y pintar por sobretodo a travรฉs de medios digitales mรกs que tradicionales, aรบn cuando los acabados nunca tienen nada que envidiar.
Me gusta pensar que Hive me anima no solo a compartir mis trabajos, sino a seguir aprendiendo tรฉcnicas nuevas que en otra ocasiรณn dejarรญa de lado.
And then the long-feared odyssey began!
C o l o r i n g
While coloring gives me a state of Peace of Mind, it can also give me spikes of anxiety because sometimes I worry about accidentally damaging everything. I think it's the result of having adapted to sketching and painting mostly through digital rather than traditional mediums, even though the results never have anything to envy.
I like to think that Hive encourages me not only to share my work but to keep learning new techniques that I would otherwise neglect.
ยฟSe me permite ser extremadamente indulgente conmigo misma y decir que amo demasiado como su cabello comenzรณ a lucir en esta fase? ยกAdemas de su faldita! โ aquรญ procure evitar crear sombras y brillos con colores demasiado similares. Para el color de su cabello trate de que las sombras fueran con creyรณn rosa y un poco de naranja, haciendo casi todo el lineart de esta รกrea con bolรญgrafo glitter magenta โฅ
En el caso de la falda me arriesgue a colocar tonos violetas como las sombras y amarillos para las luces ยกAรบn no puedo dejar de verlo! Amo lo vibrante que comenzรณ a verse, dรกndole un toque sin duda mรกgico (โฟโกโฟโก)
Am I allowed to be extremely self-indulgent and say how much I truly love how her hair started to look at this stage? Besides, her little skirt! โas I tried to avoid creating shadows and highlights with colors that are too similar in range. For her hair's color, I made the shadows using pink crayon and a bit of orange too, doing almost all the lineart of this area with magenta glitter pens โฅ.
For the skirt: I took the risk of placing purple tones as the shadows and yellow for the highlights I still can't stop looking at it by now! I love how vibrant it looks, giving it an undoubtedly magical touch (โฟโกโฟโก).
ยก Una Gumiho o Kitsune nunca estarรญa completa sin colitas afelpadas ! โ Quise mantener ese estilo bonito que a veces Riot coloca en Ahri, de que sus nueve colas se juntan de una forma que parecen una grande y muy fluffy ; considerando que en esta imagen esta relajada y no en medio de atacar / defender ... ademรกs que creo le daba mejor armonรญa, y recorrido visual mientras el cabello mantiene mรกs fluidez y dinamismo en su movimiento โฅ
Este fue ademรกs el instante en que tuve que respirar profundo y casi hacer un poco de meditaciรณn: ยก ยก ยก las Acuarelas estaban por ser incluidas una vez mรกs ! ! !
A Gumiho or Kitsune would never be complete without plush tails! โ I wanted to keep that cute style that Riot sometimes places on Ahri, that her nine tails come together in a way that they look like a single big and very fluffy one; considering that in this image she is relaxed and not in the middle of attacking/defending... I also believe that it gave her better harmony, and visual path as the hair keeps more fluidity and dynamism in its movement โฅ
This was also the moment when I had to take a deep breath and almost do some meditation: the Watercolors were about to be included once again ! ! !
Al final decidรญ solo usarlas en la cinta para su frase en esta ocasiรณn, e intentar pintar el fondo utilizando รบnicamente colores nuevamente, sin embargo, admito que siempre me encantara el acabado que le da usar esta herramienta. Quizรกs en prรณximas publicaciones me anime para hacer algo mรกs exclusivo con esta tรฉcnica โฅ
Finalmente solo coloque los รบltimos detalles con los bolรญgrafos glitter y respire profundamente: ยกLo habรญa logrado! ยกOtro dibujo mรกs hecho meramente de forma tradicional para mi pequeรฑo portafolio de alegrรญas!
ยกY todo se veรญa tan divino y con colores tan cรกlidos que me iluminaba el corazรณn tanto por lo vibrantes que se veรญan los tonos, por lo mucho que aprecio a este personaje!
(๏พโใฎโ)๏พ*:๏ฝฅ๏พโง
In the end, I decided to just use them on the band for her quote this time and tried to paint the background using only crayons, however, I admit that I will always love the final results that using this tool gives you. Maybe in future posts, I will be motivated to do something more exclusive with this technique โฅ
Finally, I just put the ultimate touches on the glitter pens and took a deep breath to relax: I had done it! One more drawing was done purely in the traditional way for my little portfolio of happiness!
And everything looked so divine and with such warm tones that it lit up my heart so much both because of how vibrant the tones looked, and due to how much I appreciate this character!

"Si nuestra historia no Cambiarรก, yo lo Hare!" y "Esta vez, nosotros decidimos Nuestros Propios Destinos" son frases de esta hermosa cinematica.
Ahri busca cambiar el modo en que las Star Guardians han tenido que proteger el Universo, siempre sacrificando mรกs de ellas de lo que cualquiera deberรญa pedir.
Nos damos cuenta de los riesgos que corren y de las presiones emocionales por igual a las que se someten con tal de cumplir la misiรณn encomendada por la Estrella Prima ; y dos aรฑos despuรฉs Riot volviรณ a ofrecernos una continuaciรณn de esto con la cinemรกtica Light & Shadows (que por cierto no puedo ver sin llorar inevitablemente cada vez), donde nos presentan la idea de que un mal mayor esta corrompiendo a las Star Guardians y es precisamente la razรณn de Ahri tenga una actitud demasiado seria y dura ante la forma mรกs inocente e ingenua con que Lux ve las cosas.
Ella no ha pasado aรบn por la tristeza, luto y decepciรณn que Ahri ha llevado a travรฉs de esta misiรณn. Ella no ha tenido que ocultar bajo una increรญble presiรณn el hecho de ser Lรญder conociendo los graves peligros y consecuencias que un solo error puede causar, la carga que debe sentir sobre su espalda al tener que guiar a las demรกs... ยกMe recordรณ de forma asombrosa , al menos en sentimiento, a una de las canciones de Encanto: "Surface Pressure"!
A continuaciรณn les coloco un Cover de la misma realizado por Annapantsu en Youtube, que mantuve sonando mientras coloreaba este fanart y cuya voz me hace pensar inevitablemente en este personaje cantando las lรญricas.
"If our history won't change, I will!" and "This time, we decide our own destinies " are quotes from this amazingly beautiful cinematic above.
Ahri seeks to change the way the Star Guardians have had to protect the Universe, always sacrificing more of themselves than anyone should ask for.
We get a sense of the risks they take and the emotional pressures they put themselves under in order to fulfill the mission given to them by the Prime Star ; and two years later Riot returned to offer us a continuation of this with the emotive cinematic Light & Shadows (which by the way I can't watch without crying inevitably every time), where we are presented with the idea that a greater evil is corrupting the Star Guardians and is precisely the reason why Ahri has a too serious and hard attitude in front of the more innocent and naive way in which Lux sees things.
She has not yet gone through the sadness, mourning and disappointment that Ahri has carried through this duty. She hasn't had to hide under incredible pressure the fact of being a Leader knowing the severe dangers and consequences a single mistake can cause, the burden she must feel on her back having to guide her team....
It reminded me amazingly , at least in feeling, of one of the songs from Encanto: "Surface Pressure"!
Below is a Cover made by Annapantsu on Youtube, which I kept playing while coloring this fanart and whose voice inevitably makes me think of this character singing the lyrics.
Desde hacia mucho tiempo habรญa deseado pintar a Ahri particularmente, asรญ que en esta ocasiรณn trate de hacerlo con el mayor cariรฑo posible a su vez que me inundaba de feelings rememorando cuanto amo este universo de skins y toda su temรกtica cada vez mรกs profunda, hermosa y รบnica en medio del gรฉnero Mahou Shoujo (โยดโก`โ)
Corre el rumor que habrรก otra entrega de skins SG este aรฑo, y estoy mรกs que entusiasmada por proseguir pintรกndolas a todas ยกSueรฑo y casi que pongo velitas para manifestar que otra de mis champions favoritas entre a la categorรญa!
Pero mientras, continuare disfrutando haciendo fanart de cada una de ellas en mi estilo, enamorรกndome una y otra vez con cada diseรฑo โ ยกYa estoy llena de toneladas de motivaciรณn para iniciar nuevamente! โฅ
For a long time I had wanted to paint Ahri in particular, so this time I tried to do it with as much fondness as possible while flooding myself with feelings remembering how much I love this universe of skins and all its deep, gorgeous, and unique theme in the middle of the Mahou Shoujo genre (โ'โก`โ).
Rumor has it that there will be another release of SG skins this year, and I'm more than excited to continue painting them all. I dream and almost place little candles to manifest that another one of my favorite champions will enter this story!
But in the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy making fanart of each one of them in my style, falling in love over and over again with their designs โ I'm already filled with tons of motivation to get started with the next one! โฅ
