Description Named after the two groups that make up Morning Musume! This started as a fanart to W's "Sentimetal Boy" but totally changed... I was supposed to be doing other things, but this just screamed to be finished... I'm slowly learning a little more about creating anime pics... The tree brushes are by Annika Von Holdt, the others are included with Photoshop 7.0. Lineart handdrawn, the rest done in Photoshop 7.0.

By the way, her arm is across her stomach, she's not half armed.

Thank you: Yeah, it's more of a dress than anything, I just like the obi style thing with it...

incredible work! I love the detail... especially the patern on the dress. The coloring/shading is fantastic as well.

Cherry blossoms?! CHERRY BLOSSOMS!? So pretty! I love the softness and the colorscheme of this piece, as well as the pattern on her kimono. The grass brush is perfect for the effect of the wind blowing, and that worked out beautifully! And the sky? Ooo the sky!! !!!

Thank you so so much! ^^ She was going to be a ghosty, then I decided to make her pretty... I couldn't make up my mind! I had to blur the grass because the size of the image was poster size, and even when I reduced it the grass was still choppy, *lol*

Wow! It's nice to see you do something outside of your normal style (Though I love your style the most). The kimono really is the most awsome thing. It's amazing.

Thankies!! ^^ I keep trying to do anime better for "Spicy Watermelon" *lol* so then I can master the pr0n and we can make those billions of $$ *lol*! Stupid smudge brush didn't want to let me do that kimono, but I beat it into submission.

angelacapel In reply to CrystallineColey [2004-08-07 19:08:49 +0000 UTC]

I guess this means that I should practice my anime too, since I wanna be a Spicy Watermellon and make the big bucks!!!

kosarai [2004-08-06 06:54:34 +0000 UTC]

What a great picture!! I love the coloring on her kimono. Very nicely done! The only problem I have with it is that it looks like her left arm isn't anything but a stub ^_^;;;
Despite that, I'm adding this to me favs.

CrystallineColey In reply to kosarai [2004-08-06 16:47:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! I inked a little too early before I'd worked out some of the problems, such as her arm over her stomach... Indeed it did look like a stub, *lol* I don't know how to fix lineart in Photoshop, though, so I gave up. Thank you!

Thank you so much! ^^ The trees were a little bit of a pain, I was surprised they came out as well as they did! I'm learning a little more about backgrounds now.. ^^

Thank you so so much! ^^ I was really happy with her dress, the little flowers worked out so well! And my bf really helped with the cc on it, so he added a lot to the whole thing... I'm SO happy this is enjoyed, its actually one of my favourite things I've done so far! ^^

AngelsInc In reply to CrystallineColey [2004-08-05 09:15:07 +0000 UTC]

its excellent. I sometimes pattern Miki Lee's clothes, but it gets to be too much for the comic. so I just put flat colors. I can imagine the work you did on that dress!

Thank you so much! The kimono worked out well after I found a neat brush to use as the pattern on it, I'm glad it turned out ok! I didn't intend on blurring the grass, but I made the scan SOOOO huge that I had to do the same with the brush and then bleh, it was choppy. ^^

Zeldrew [2004-08-04 00:04:02 +0000 UTC]

She's pretty. But surrounded by all that evil grass...i'm allergic to grass, so I guess she's got an anti zeldrew barrier around her. So much for my Miroku side taking over.

CrystallineColey In reply to Zeldrew [2004-08-04 00:06:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^^ Indeed, I suffer from the same thing... Dang allergies! Best bet is to grab a wet paper towel, wrap it like a bandit around your nose and mouth, pick her up and run! Nothing can stop the Miroku urges! ^_~ *lol*

Ooh, Annika Von Holdt has the most yummy brushes! They look great here-- I seriously couldn't tell that any of this was from brushes. I really love her kimono! It looks oddly comfortable. o_O She looks very peaceful, like she's waiting for someone or something to fall into her hand.

CrystallineColey In reply to tifaria [2004-08-04 00:09:38 +0000 UTC]

I'm so in love with that site, those brushes rock my world! ^^ I was going to do a regular kimono, then I decided "ooh, she'll be a ghosty, I'll make her all wispy!" and then I axed that idea and she just ended up with a silky satiny ish dressy kimono. I didn't know what the bump I was doing, *lol* She was supposed to have sakura petals falling around her and onto her hand, but I couldn't figure out a neat way to make them, so I quit. Quitting is much easier than thinking! ^_~
