Description
I couldn't sleep last night and drew this...Lines are done with pen & ink, then scanned in and coloured with PS...
Submitted in traditional because there's much more line work than colour job.

Being a person that understands Castlevania all too well, you've drawn the most powerful character in the series.
Well done too.

Shanoa is indeed quite powerful...I haven't play Castlevania must besides this one, but my brother had, and he agrees.
Thanks ^^

Oh-Em-Gee. A Shanoa~ X3
If anything caught my attention in particular (aside from the title, that is), it was the CG. It's very plain, very simple, very sparse, but entirely very effective in getting what you wanted done. Has a very nice, cold flare to its touch, and I could see that a mile away even when it was just a preview on the "1 Deviation, 7 Messages" window.
One particular part of the drawing I'm a bit iffy on, though, is the shading. Your pencilwork is usually rather top-notch, but this time, I find the shading to be a bit...harshly inconsistent. The shading is rather "jagged", in a sense, with the lines breaking in different directions, and it doesn't give as much of a "flowing" quality to her robes and hair. As long as that's done, though, it's, all in all, a really nice sketch. ^_^
That said, your style when it comes to drawing the face seems...familiar, somehow. It might be just me, but just as I base my style off Ayamine Rando, is there anyone you base your style off, out of curiosity? ^_^;

Thanks! ^^
About the pen work, yea I know where you're refering to...and well, when I was drawing it, I though maybe I'll fix it up in PS later, but then when I was colouring it I found the rough pen-ish hand drawn feel kinda cool, so left it that
the thing is, I did this drawing at 6am without any sleep before, my brain and my hands weren't exactly working too well lol
I know, my faces looks similar, and I wish I could break free from that someday...
well, I don't really base my style off any artist in particular, I usually would see something I like and maybe incorporate parts in my drawings

Interesting cross hatching there.
Also what a horrible time to have my DS broken.
