Description …AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Originally, I wanted to draw Filia’s entire body and have Lina and Gourry ride on her neck. I figured that while it would’ve made the picture look big, it made Lina and Gourry look small. So I thought, if that were the case, why not draw small versions of Lina and Gourry and have them ride on Filia’s head? Not only did it solve the problem regarding Lina and Gourry, it also kept the picture down to a more manageable size.

Tools of the trade:

Bensia refillable pencil – rough sketch (on A4 bond paper)
Quikidon 0.5 mechanical pencil – details and corrections (on A4 tracing paper)
Yoken technical drawing pen 1.0 – inks (on A4 tracing paper)
Canon F630P flatbed scanner – scans
Adobe Photoshop 5.0 – colors
Corel Draw 8.0 – background, titles, signature
Me – I’m a total tool

Ha ha ha!
Fllia's face is epic, Lina's just sittin' on top of her head & Gourry's about to fall off lol.

I think it would have been cute to make Gourry Santa, and Lina an elf, because she's so small. x3

That's a great idea! I think I'll try it for this year's Christmas! I can just imagine the possibilities!

And a Merry Christmas to you too. Speaking of which, I found this [link] just this morning. It's a Christmas video message from Lina Inverse's seiyuu Megumi Hayashibara.

On that note, I actually wanted to color Filia gold...the way she looked in the "Slayers Try" TV series. But I thought it would look too bright for this drawing so I gave her an "earth tone" look instead.

Thanks. In this pic, I had Filia dressed up as a reindeer...complete with collar and antlers. But since Filia is a dragon, I gave her "dragon antlers". The ones she's "wearing" is similar to Dragonball Z's Shenron.

yaminoarashi In reply to doberdog [2007-12-20 11:20:20 +0000 UTC]

yes...but I have to agree...I'f you would have made her as golden as in the series she'll be to bright and kinda not fit anymore in the composition of the pic

It looks good like that rather that changing her into a reindeer
