Description It is unbelievable, but I am actually satisfied with this drawing. For the first time in a while, something turned out the way I wanted it to turn out. The girl character is a new one, the monster is based on my earlier creations, Lolithia ([link] and [link] ). Monsters that eat kiddies for lunch. Happy times .

For those of you who have missed it; I have been trying out a completely different style. Instead of the usual anime I normally do, I wanted to do something with a more unique style, or at least something different. A while ago I was inspired by
,
and the teaser poster of Coraline (you might see some resemblance between my character and Coraline) and was impressed with their styles. Ever since, I wanted to try something out in similar style myself but have postponed it every time. Until now anyways.

I guess it might be too spooky for a little kid though; last thing you want to do is making them believe the monsters dont only live under the bed . As for the texture, I used some hand created ones and one by
([link] ).
So thanks for the excellent stock texture, without your flowers, the walls would have looked dull (and that would have mattered a whole lot) !

Ow, I decided this girl is staying with her grandma which is why the room looks rather old fashioned! Seriously, when I researched girl's rooms (yay to google), the pink almost killed me . So Grandma's home it is! And why not? You never know what is hiding in those other houses, hehehehe...

Great work!
Only think I don't really like, is that smile on the kid's face. When you're looking for a monster under your bed, you usually don't smile, don't you?
But generally it's okay.
And good choice with the grandma's room. Definately better without the pink. Especially for me - old-fashion-lover.

Hmm, I didnt intend to make it look like a smile actually, but I think it has turned out alright... Though the mouth is small, maybe that is why it looks that way; not too much detail possible there... But thanks for the comment!

ER ZIT EEN AAPJE IN!

Nee, echt, supercool! Dat monster is echt geweldig, vooral omdat het half uit schaduw bestaat! En en ja ik weet niet. Het enige wat ik wel vind is dat de teddy wat betere verhoudingen had mogen hebben, maar verder dus briljant.

Ik haat teddyberen . Ik was nog aan het denken toen ik dat ding aan het shaden was; ziet ie er crappy uit... Maar er moest een knuffel in op de een of andere manier...

Leuk dat je ziet dat het monster uit schaduw bestaat; dat was precies wat ik voor elkaar wilde krijgen in de tekening .

Maar, maar teddyberen! Ach misschien ligt het ook wel aan mij, ik hou juist superveel van teddies, vandaar dat mijn oog er op viel

Hmm, eyepatches en teddies, waar heb ik dat eerder gezien. Owjah! Ik denk dat jij het character genaamd Toppi uit World Destruction wel leuk zal vinden . Dat is in principe een wandelende teddybeeer mÊt eyepatch .

het is een spel Ên een anime . De anime speelt op.... TV! Of internet . Spel is dacht ik voor de DS (ik dacht ergens een artikel te hebben gelezen dat het spel helemaal trots is erop dat ze een grotere cartridge gebruiken of zo; dus het zou potentieel de grootste DS game ooit kunnen worden (op gebied van data tenminste).

Truly amazing! If you keep this up your style would be well recotnizable

But i have to admit that i thought she was a he... Probebly has something to do with the clothes.

But besides from that this is a very goof piece of work, there is a perfect amount of tention in this image, I can't stop staring XD

Crimson-diabloS In reply to asumoth [2008-08-27 23:09:40 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I am definitely going to continue this style, I liked doing it and I definitely liked what came out of it. Plus, it is nice to hear that I actually have something that become recognizable if I continue it .

About the clothes, well, with pyamas there is not a whole lot you can do . But I will take into mind to give her some clothing that make her look a little more girlish when I make a new one!

what an excellent drawing!! I love it so much. The texture looks amazing on the walls. Thank you so much for using my stock in such a creative way

No, thank you for making that stock . I really had some trouble getting the walls right and in the piece, it mattered a lot it turned out later. But thanks for the compliment!

Dit is echt wel mooi geworden! vooral die kleuren, texturen en het contrast maken het speciaal Dit belandt zeker in mijn favs! Ik denk dat je hiermee een zeer mooie stijl hebt gevonden die je zeker kan houden. Kudos!

Blij dat ik je inspiratie kan zijn!

Crimson-diabloS In reply to SurrealisticPillow88 [2008-08-25 10:39:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Ik wil zeker meer doen met deze stijl, het voelde goed om eens iets anders te doen . Ik zal nog wel anime gerelateerd spul maken (omdat de meeste verhalen die ik heb gemaakt tot nog toe het beste werken met de stijl die ik daar al had), maar dit wil ik zeker vaker doen .

Super, echt heel erg knap. Wat ik vooral leuk vind aan deze tekening is dat er een heel verhaal in verwerkt zit. En de details natuurlijk! Je bent de laatste tijd echt lekker bezig, ga zo door!

Crimson-diabloS In reply to Maethorneth [2008-08-25 10:40:41 +0000 UTC]

Daar heb ik mijn Cintiq aan te danken . Het ding voelt goed om op te tekenen en de motivatie daarom is ook veel hoger. Met de techniek die ik in deze tekening gebruikt heb (ik heb in principe alles "gestipt") denk ik ook wel dat de Cintiq een goede combinatie was. Ik denk niet dat ik dit had kunnen maken op mn oude wacommetje.

Ja, op dat apparaatje ben ik toch wel jaloers moet ik zeggen Ook een nieuwe stijl trouwens toch? Die heb je in ieder geval goed onder de knie, net als de manier van inkleuren
