This one was a major PIA, but I think it turned out rather well. The basis of the image is a slightly modified Jinkie by Patslash and Christel-B. OK. Heavily modified. You see, Patslash laid Jinkie out like a mermaid, and I've been seeing a ton of these cute, little adorable Jinkies with big soft eyes and cuteness everywhere.

And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against cuteness. However, I think Jinkie is a pretty slick little composition and I figured, "why not make her into a bad, bad gnome." Sort of getting back at the Travelocity thing.

Anyway, when they say in the character description that Jinkie takes a lot to custom-fit clothes, they ain't kidding. I stretched my legs quite a bit on the d-formers, but this was a good exercise.

And then there came the base render, which was lovely. But it also pointed out that I needed a lot more detail and what not. So I found the wings. After all, if she's screwball enough to think she's a fighter, she might try dressing up as a faerie, right? Sure. Scare everyone that way. Why not? Then I added in the adornments of the jewelry, which almost killed me (kidding), but it did help the piece finish out.

As for customizing Jinkie a bit, I did take some liberties with her roundness. She needed a little more chutzpah to be weilding the big Black Lotus axes. The hair is a base V4 Glamour Hair, the outfit is AerySoul Elven Strapped for V4 and their Big Rock.

The stock involved in this is a paper piece I got from my online account at photos.com, The Signs of Reformation from CausticStock on D|A in the background, FeatherWings by Froggie Resources on D|A, and the jewelry is mostly based on the Jewelry brushes by SpiritSighs-Stock on D|A.

And there you have it. My apologies to P and C for not keeping Jinkie true to form, but she was a hoot and a half to play with!

I'm not going to be doing a print of this one ... unless someone really wants one. If you do, note me, and I'll see about submitting it.

Fullview highly recommended.
