Original DA upload date: October 1, 2019
I only did this for the archetype-swap series (this is Fashionista Margo); this’ll be the last ‘Margo in a dress’ artwork for a while. I don’t want to run this running gag into the ground.

Yeah, this is pretty much a regular thing that happens between the Hynde sisters. Molly likes forcing Margo into stereotypically girly stuff. Sometimes if she wants to have some ‘sisterly bonding’, sometimes when a formal or semiformal event comes up, sometimes just to see how an outfit will looks on her… but her favorite way of getting Margo to dress girly, is if the tomboy loses a bet. She’s even once used Margo as a model for a live makeup tutorial, after the one and only time she managed to beat her at Mario Kart (they were playing Mario Kart 64 and Margo failed the Rainbow Road shortcut on the final lap). Molly does sometimes force Margo into other stereotypically girly things, like dancing to dance-pop music or watching romance flicks. But getting her into dresses is her preferred way of tormenting her sister.
And yes, Margo does the same thing when Molly loses a bet; she likes forcing tomboyish stuff (like getting dirty, watching action flicks, going makeup-free, etc.) onto her.
Now to the artwork itself!
There isn’t really much to cover here, but I will talk about how I did Margo’s jewelry. For the necklace, I started with a single circle with a blurred bevel and a rendered stroke effect, then duplicated it, resized the duplicates, arranged all the circles in an arc (while rotating the beads to keeping the lighting consistent), then lastly, I posterized the circles so that they fit better with the 2D environment. As for the earrings, I did something similar to how I did Sparkles’ head in The Sparkling Dimension; I beveled an octagon on a temporary layer, then selected the resulting colors of its edges and matched them to the edges of the gemstones. I’m really getting the hang of ArtStudio Pro’s 3D capabilities.
Anyhoo, that’s all for this one. Geek Wendy is next, and it’ll definitely be an interesting one to work on.
