Hmm, pretty much the first time I'm stumped when it comes to describing a vector... Not really much to say about it: started it in December 2009 and finished it in July 2012 ('cause that's how I roll), the PSD now stands at 73 layers and 11.7 MB. The first version was this one, with the red dress, but I couldn't help wanting more colors when I finished it; now, I admit my favorite version is the peach one XD The green one looks like lettuce, and the bottom part of the dress doesn't really make sense to me, but it's better than including that bow on top of her head ಠ_ಠ
Plain white background since the red version has already given me enough pixelation nightmares. Original scan is here, couldn't help adding more shading to it (it's honestly become a habit, I can't use just basic shading anymore >_<).
See the PNGs on CoA, when it stops giving me hell and actually starts working, or in this post.
Please credit me if you use this vector! And feel free to drop me a line, too, I love to see my work being used :)

A Nadja Applelfield vector it's so rare, thanks a lot for doing it! And I like really much on how you colored her dress, it seems like silk made *__*

And thank you very much for the comment and fav <3 I'm glad the dress looks good, I spent a lot of time on it (it's actually the part I focused the most).

Oh, "Ashita no Nadja", how many memories! It's one of my favourite anime, and the manga is pretty good, also. With more shading this drawing is better than the original one, and I'm happy you didn't add a pink version - I just hate pink! Nut I love all the other colours you used: in green and purple dress, Nadja looks like a sophisticated lady, navy is perfect because she has aqua eyes, the peach version is just adorable and soft, with a touch of gold that matches her hair color. The red dress is beautiful too: the shade of color is thick and full-bodied, I'd say "like blood", but lighter. I don't know if you understand what I mean. Lastly, I'm happy Nadja isn't wearing that weird hair bow: she looks much more adult without it. Awesome job!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I combined the peach version with some pink, I honestly couldn't stand to look at that much pink all at once XD In fact, I worked with the red version, then played with colors after I was done with the vectoring. And yes, that bow is godawful, it doesn't go with such a formal dress at all!
