Queen Kellas Design Contest Entry

Description

So as I promised, here is my entry for :iconthe-dragon-childe:'s Rags to Royalty Design Contest for her amazing character, Kellas. I drew her once before, but it was such a treat to draw her again. 

Outfit ideas/inspiration:
   When it comes to the design I actually sketched up ideas that resembled that of a steampunk look, but I just ended up scrapping each idea. I realized that approach wasn't "regal" enough and besides as Queen of new Thundera, Kellas is more mature and formal, so she shouldn't need so much bulk while in her royal garb. If there was a separate contest for her casual wear, then those ideas would have worked way better. 
   With a new idea in mind I geared towards a similar style of Dan Norton's design of Queen Leona. I was also inspired by Youkaiyume's Sailor Moon redesigns. The main thing I kept in mind was Kellas favorite flower, Honeysuckle. I noticed in a comment that from a question someone asked in terms of Kellas's favorite color, style, flower, etc. I was so happy that someone asked those questions, because the answers helped a lot in terms of figuring out what would suit this character best. 

Well that's it really. Oh but if you guys are interested in entering this contest here is the journal entry with all the info:
Design Contest - Rags to Royalty (NEW ENTRY)UPDATE: It's just over a month from the deadline. Does anyone (if you still intend on entering) want that cutoff changed, and if so, when is best for you all?
Everybody, this is Kellas.

The first link has a more detailed bio, but in short, she is a wildcat from the slums, once-apprentice to black market tech dealer Jorma, who is curious and hands-on and likes nothing better than fixing things and helping people. She bills herself, in fact, as an "amateur inventor, master trapper, and all-around handycat, at your service."

Now see where that blank spot is? That's because there are big plans for her future.
You see, Kellas has made her debut in Mortal Bonds, as a very grateful rescue from Monkey City prison. So, naturally, she ends up joining our favorite 'Cats on their quest. But, as the author has mention

Also if you guys want to check out Youkaiyume's Sailor Moon redesigns, go here:

I would recommend her entire AMAZING gallery, because you know ... it's AMAZING!

Enjoy, and wish me luck!

Do you charge for commissions? If not, do you think you could help me make a digitized Leona and a more "Thundercats" Bali? (Bali- singing-sketcher.deviantart.co… ) I have the designs I want to do, but I haven't digitized anything since my image for Vie (For a story I was writing) which was a few years ago and I remember how it took forever to do. It took me several days with a mouse on MS Paint.
