Description


Aaaah I love getting new drawing software. Decided to get OpenCanvas7 with a gift card I got for Christmas, and thought that I could use an upgrade from Sai.
And wow! I really like this drawing software. The default brushes work very nicely for me, and unlike sai, it has a text tool! No more exporting to Gimp just to add text! XD

Anyway, I don't think I've shared this with you guys, but I'm a fan of the Shantae games. (though I've only beaten... like, one, despite owning them all. >w> hehe) I really loved all the designs 
for her transformations in half-genie hero, and thought "Hey! I gotta draw that!" So tada~! Here it is. I actually drew this in December, but decided to wait and post it in the new year to kick things off.

I'm pretty happy with the results, though I think I could've taken more time and added texture to the tail. ;w; I also tried to draw it in more of the style of the game. Don't know how well i did with that. XD
I did end up changing a few things, though - mostly adding the shell top and the style of her arm fins. ;w; I couldn't get the actual ones to look right so I improvised.



Please comment and tell me what you like (or dislike) about this. I'm always happy to have feedback from my watchers. ♥

i have beaten this Game some Days ago... let me tell ya that the last Part was pretty annoying to slide again... i diden't like the Sliding Parts at al
But Mermaid Shantae is truly beautiful. I really really loved her. Plus also the Item for her was great. But it's very stupid you can't change Forms under Water or in Air.

Ahhhh I love Shantae too! I'm such a huge fan of her games XD
You drew her so well! I gotta get Half Genie Hero but my current comp just can't handle any kinds of games, it lagged so much just playing a simple small 2D sidescroller, let alone one with 3D environments and lots of stuff on screen. Ahhh I want T^T I've only beaten Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse, I have the first one but didn't get very far in it- XD

FadedSketch In reply to BiniPulsar [2018-01-12 18:05:47 +0000 UTC]

Omg saaame, the first one is very difficult. XD I did beat Risky's revenge, and almost beat pirates curse too, but I got stuck on a certain part. :U I've technically beaten 1.2 genie hero too, but I'm still working on the DLC storylines.

Yeeees it's so hard I think I only made it past the first dungeon, now I'm lost and can't even make it back to town cause I keep dying trying to get there XD
Pirate's Curse is soooooo good, it's my favorite so far. I'll get Half Genie Hero as soon as I get a better computer
What's the DLC story like?

FadedSketch In reply to BiniPulsar [2018-01-13 17:58:08 +0000 UTC]

Saaame! XD I'm stuck there too!

Well so far, the DLC stories are pretty much playing through the regular one only as different characters. I've been fighting the same bosses, levels, etc. 
Which is kind of a bummer, because I was expecting, like, whole different level to play. ;D; still fun tho.

BiniPulsar In reply to FadedSketch [2018-01-20 04:47:58 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh that kinda sucks. They could at least have a unique level for each character. But at least it's still fun. Does Risky play like Shantae did in Pirate's Curse? Like with all her pirate gear? She's in the DLC right? just checking XD

FadedSketch In reply to BiniPulsar [2018-01-20 05:14:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but it is fun to play with the different abilities of each character! XD
Oh yeah! You do get to play has Risky with her guns and all her gear. That one is pretty fun!
Plus I'm pretty sure you get to fight Shantae, but not sure... I haven't gotten that far yet. :'D

BiniPulsar In reply to FadedSketch [2018-01-20 05:19:37 +0000 UTC]

Omg if you get to fight Shantae that would be the best! But- I'd feel kinda bad beating her XD

oh, I've heard of Shantae games before! the style is pretty distinct, but I think you pulled it off pretty nicely~ <33 
she looks so cute!! is she a character in the game or one you made up?

also hurray for the new program!!! c: glad you don't have to export anymore. I used to hate having to export things on my old program too, it's so tedious

FadedSketch In reply to duskinova [2018-01-03 01:08:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! She's a form of the main character Shantae that appears in the game. 

And yes! XD I prefer to use one program for my art, not two or three unless I have to.

saSpog [2018-01-01 22:10:22 +0000 UTC]

Looks great to me, comparing to the kickstarter picture it's pretty spot on (minus the couple things you changed). Not being knowledgeable about art programs is it uncommon for them to not have a text tool?

FadedSketch In reply to saSpog [2018-01-02 02:59:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Most do have a text tool, but the one I used previously didn't. ;D; a feature I didn't know I needed, hehe. XD
