Description Finally done, I skipped a night of sleep to finish this…

The characters, story and everything else are my original creations.

Name: Kiera

Age: 20

Abilities: Right hand – Shiyobu, spirit of death and destruction. Has the ability to drain life out of her enemies.
Left hand – Doyobu, spirit of life and restoration. Restores life, heals and regenerates her allies.

Skill: Katana appreciator

Story:

Kiera was born in a wealthy family as an only child. Since five years old she started receiving classes on how to properly use a katana by the best sword masters, since they lived in a time where wild beast were constantly attacking the outskirts of the cities and sometimes even making their way deeper inside. She lived in an enormous castle-like mansion with her mother, who was more interested in her social life, gambling and having fun with her friends rather than spending time with her only daughter. The maids were not allowed to interact with anyone who is on a higher social level than them, such was the law. Her father owned one fourth of the entire country of Sidia, and never seemed to have any time for his family. Kiera was constantly lonely and depressed, hugging the cold walls was the only warmth she ever felt.

When she was 12, she decided to change things and look for her father at work to tell him how she feels. Instead, without even recognizing her, he ordered for her to be kicked out of the building. With her soul crushed, she returned the next day and in a final act of seeking her father’s attention, she jumped off the building, 2,000 feet high. Cutting downwards through the air, she closed her eyes for her life to flash in front of her eyes. Nothingness. There was no life, she hadn’t lived a thing. As the tears rolled up her cheeks she felt lighter, weightless even. It felt like falling forever. Then she felt the cold embrace of her walls that came to be such a homey feeling for Kiera. Is it all a dream, she wondered. Fearfully opening her eyes to satisfy her curiosity she saw a stranger’s face, then another one, then she inhaled for a scream but stopped. She was flying. Flying in the cold embrace of two unearthly spirits whispering secrets to her she could not understand. As she looked down she saw her right hand growing black, engulfed by darkness, strangely, she felt nothing. As she looked over, her left hand was illuminating light brighter than anything she has ever seen before. - Shiyobu, whispered the spirit on her right side, - I bring death and despair to those you touch. - Doyobu, the one on her left, - I bring life and restoration to the ones you find worthy.

Her life has finally started, this is how it feels to be born, she felt. Kiera decided she has no home, no family, no purpose to return… no more. She quickly embraced her new self and head on forward with a new expression on her face, promising to never look back and keep on defying gravity.

Awesomely done. Especially the spirits. Reminds me a bit of Dizzy from Guilty Gear - the concept of the two spirits in her hands.

OMG A BACKGROUND *__* And you're so good in drawing hands ;___;

Great work I must say Her powers.. I mean your powers are looking good xD At first I thought she's bending water ladies before reading the description x] Oh and the glow looks great

But I have noticed one little problem in most of your pics... You squeeze character's breasts too much o__< It just looks unnatural...

Hey, that's a real good notice... I backtracked my previous deviations, and I think you're right. I guess I'm going for a bra look, but nonetheless they do look kinda squeezed together. I'm gonna draw two boobies now on a postit and stick it to my screen so that it reminds me the next time I'm drawing. Thanks Tarou <3

Ah and yeah, I went with baby blue with the spirits, I tried white at first but it was disrupting my glow effect :/

This is really great! I really love the glow and coloring on Shiyobu and Doyobu XD <3 <3 <3 I am a art student in college and I was wondering if you could explain a little bit of your technique for this picture? I am mainly a pencil and paper artist, but I am really looking to expand my knowledge of expertise

Gokiru In reply to CrimsonSakura12 [2010-03-31 05:50:59 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, ok, I can give you some pointers Actually I might make a little tutorial and explain how I do my glow effect.

You've out done yourself, and If I may say your anatomy is way better then last year..keep up the good work!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Gokiru In reply to aquaxningyo [2010-03-30 21:36:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks darlin' Since I switched totally digital, it's been easier for me to get a notion of the picture as a whole. While sketching on a piece of paper, I kinda lose track of it and end up screwing the anatomy. -__-' Plus you can always doodle everything quickly and then use it as guidelines, where traditionally the doodle only ends up confusing me more. :/ But in the end it all boils down to practice and training your eye, I guess.

I also rediscovered Open Canvas as a great tool for doing backgrounds and stuff like that. It works very differently from SAI and PS.
