Description

“You think she’ll ever love someone more than she loves the sea?”

“HA. Lenna? No way. She’s got saltwater in her blood. She is the sea, and can you ever love something more than yourself?”

For a moment I thought Lenna was Lenna from Final Fantasy V, but then I read that this Lenna is your OC. Amazing colors although I think the character itself is a bit too dark. I can barely see the details (but that may also be my iPad's fault. It does make colors too dark on some websites) but otherwise this pic is amazing. That background is gorgeous❤️

By the way, do you publish your stories somewhere online?

thank you very much! it may partially be your screen, but the character is also rather dark (I wanted the contrast).

and no, unfortunately I don't really publish any stories anywhere save come random comic snippets on here and on tumblr. I would love to do a webcomic or a published graphic novel someday though!

Yeah, I thought it might be so. I gotta check how this looks on my laptop though. I saw the pic when I came here on my iPad. I think it looks different on my laptop.

Aaws, sucks that you don't publish your stories. It would have been nice to read something. But if you publish comics, I'll make sure that I'll read them. ^^

Those quotes... "can you ever love something more than yourself"
Damn, you're amazing xD
What I like about Lenna is that she looks like a volcano, despite being fond of the sea.
She's dynamic, powerful, fiery... Maybe the concept is like that, or it may be just me, but I think powerful people have this one soft spot and, in her case, it's the sea.

Oh thank you so much!!!! And that is excellent commentary wow I am.... blown away. You hit the nail on the head. Some of the points you made were definitely concepts I was trying to get across but others, especially that last one about the soft spot like.... that is really accurate and I never thought about it before. GOD I love that so much!!!! Thank you for reading into my art and my characters so deeply because it made it so much better!!!!

You're welcome dude

I like how here eyes are really golden, and her necklace. That stood out the most to me, besides the sky

bbandittt In reply to KyraLynMoss [2015-03-14 01:02:55 +0000 UTC]

thank you!!!!! I like making her eyes look a little unsettling with the bright gold, so I'm glad you like it too.

I love how crazy muscular she is, though something about where her arms meet her torso bugs me...like the dip is too deep or something, I can't exactly put my finger on it...in every recent picture you've drawn of her, I've had this feeling that something was wrong, but maybe it's just me.

bbandittt In reply to TheOriginalArts [2015-03-14 01:04:06 +0000 UTC]

hmm.... you could be right! I try to collect references for these sorts of things, but it's difficult to find everything you need. (and my arms are far too skinny to use as references hahaha) I'll keep that in mind! thanks for the feedback.

Of course, but the art is wonderful anyway! I specifically love your creative lighting, it gives everything a neat look!
