Description
Started as a re-draw of an old frame in which Kimiko was reading her part of Kotone for the game 'Sight', actually came out quite well - couldn't help the overdetailing (AKG k702s and a Neumann U87 mic). This is for the Megatokyo 2012 calendar/mini art-book that is currently in production and will be available in the MegaGear store for pretty soon.Related content

You work magic sometimes... So simple in a way, yet so expressive.
If that's an embarrassing amount of flattery, you can put it down to me being 2-AM-sleepy.

So much emotion into her readings that why she was stalked all through tokyo by fan boys

The Hair is awesome in this. I think I might make my hair similar (in drawing style im not going to copy your drawing) when I draw.

Love the detail, so much to look at and take in. The expression is captivating and convincing too

I loved watching this one get drawn, poor Kimiko just gives it her everything doesn't she?

your art quality has skyrocketed from when you first started megatokyo hope to see it go even further from now on.

I think your "overdetalining" was necessary to pull of the shot. Looks very nice.
Not sure if it was intentional or not, but the mic is a little too high, don't you think?

they actually tend to always seem to be too high in the shots of studios where recording for anime is done in japan - this may just be my brain not registering things

Ah, I am not familiar with studio settings myself, so perhaps it is standard to set them up that way. Half the fun of being an artist is being able to screw with things until you get it how you like, so adjust on!

Clay, it seems that mics of that nature tend to be a bit "high". Often times at nose level. I'm not sure why, but Fred nailed it here (me thinks). And ditto what you said about the detailing. It blends in well and isn't out of place, not a bit!

Interesting, I wonder why that is?

Saw this when you tweeted it, and I've found myself going back to look at it again and again. This be my favorite piece of art from you.

KIMIKO: "And so, Mega Man Legends 3 was cancelled." (Wipes a tear away) I need the money... Keep it together...

Definitely recognized those AKGs from the thumbnail alone
Seriously, this pic is amazing, and the detailing is incredible. Can't wait for the calendar now.

She makes you feel for the character. An achievement, since she's a character playing a character...

Nice representation of the U87A!
Sorry, that's kinda the first thing I noticed. That spiky shock-mount is kind of a dead giveaway.

But over-detailing products is the funnest part of drawing. I do like her expression and I look forward to the other pieces for the calendar.
