Description This character has been featured in my dA webcam since about Xmas - I just didn't get around to drawing anything of her until now.

She's a villain from some super-retarded anime about Bomberman or something (it's called Bomberman Jetters) - though she's only in one or two episodes - and not for particularly long (but long enough to inspire a few people to draw fanart of her).

I drew this piece up to see if a new colouring/shading approach works (it does).

I kinda wish she had a name other than 'Dolphin Bomber' though - I don't think that really counts as a name(?).

I wonder what would happen to this character if the anime was licensed by 4kids.

Would you have named her Delfi, if it were up to you t give her an official name?

The game is based of an actual anime?
Well I never saw it nor played the game (although I played Generations which is the same thing), but this...this character is hilarious.

No I think the game came first.

Looks like you had a go with the simple vector coloring, and yes it does look good. I'm a bit biased since I like to use this method myself, but I think it fits your style, especially when you draw cartoon characters like this dolphin.

It's not really the vector colouring I had a breakthrough with - it's more that I figured out how to use transparency effects properly to save myself time when shading.

Oh, yeah I get yout. Transparency can be a bit tricky, but when you know how to use it, it's incredibly useful and can make hard things simple, while also making them look good on top.

Glad you get satisfying results from your recent experimenting.

I love bomberman jetters. It's not retarded.

But Dolphin is easily one of my favorite characters there. Love her voice. But I expected a larger fan following, guess cause alot of people don't know about the show.

I say retarded because it's just so bizarre - I only really watched a few episodes and didn't understand the focus on characters who weren't Bomberman - maybe if I'd watched more episodes I would have been able to follow the story with less bewilderment.

That's probably it. It took me a while for the new character's and randomness to grow on me, but in the end its a good show that I have prayed that 4kids never get their hands on.

I have watched the entire anime, and it's just silly plot for the first half, Mujoe tries to steal and object were the object is the only one of it's kind in the universe, Bomberman and friends come and stop him, object may or may not get destroyed in the fight, heroes go home. It doesn't get serious until the anime introduces us to Max... and it's kinda sad

Oh lord, Bomberman Jetters. So much shenanigans within that anime. Don't get to see fan-art quite often for that anime, it looks nice.

I was imagining you would make a fan-art of her, and she's totally adorable!
