Description
Congratulations if you guessed her name's Aeva, bingo you got it rightXDDDwip version [link]
everything drawn and painted no 3D software used. no references used at all either.

I think its pretty obvious i got lazy orz...
the pencil sketch had a lot more details than this but im so lazy hahaXD;;;
nevertheless, this will be the finished work of this deviationXD I have a tendency of not working on a piece for too long cos I get bored like real easily, and i like moving on to new pieces rather than continuing the old one so...
XDand yea, a lot a lot of perspective errorsXD; I need more practice...

I dunno if anyone noticed but i realized that there really aren't alot of tanned characters around, even if there are, they are normally supporting characters and some aren't even pretty girls/boys. For me I think characters, no matter the colour and race, should have their chance to shine, and deserve to be pretty and cute like any other typical anime/manga character. That's why in my stories I always have characters from different races. Don't take it into offence but i always thought malay girls look a lot prettier than a lot of chinese girls(at least in singapore
Aeva's one of my favorite OCs for sureXD(i apologize to my dear cousin for tolerating (k not really) my spams when i was rping aeva for fun once on msn (made her my dp and all [link] )) I dunno if anyone noticed, but she has similar clothes as Vrnda (whose name has been changed to Vrn now cos the author herself couldn't stand the nameXD
. thats cos they belong in the same association. For now, this story's still in developing stage with some bonds and relationships established but there are still many loopholes to be filled (I have other more developed but shorter stories but i'm only posting one of the 7(or was it 8 orz) up) so i shall not elaborate on her (truth be told she hasn't have much of a past and the scenes which have her in it are all loose fragments of a puzzle, i doubt i can string them altogether here and make it sound coherent orz)
so lets go with it that im trying to make her mysterious, k?8DDDDDD (failsss)
i'm not sure if i mentioned but the pairings in this story; and oh yea the story titles is called C@S (or CAtS, no it has nothing to do with cats )... as i was saying pairings wise would be Tsu X Aeva and Xis X Vrn, tho the girls are appearing later on in the story and and C@S is in no way romance centered. A spice, but never a main dish, i would say. Another thing is that due to my lack of scientific knowledge at the moment (cos I'm studying something unrelated to normal studying now, animation yea.) C@S will undergo major changes that will make the story less scientific and more sci-fi (k am i making sense? cos up till now all the characters are based on real life scientific concepts with a twist, so making it more sci-fi means less facts yea.) also, I may totally change some character designs and even their names *eyes tsu* since this story is dated back from last year, i need to resort some parts so that they'll all link.
if you survived reading this bless you.

Hello! I'm one of the critique crew of :devtheoc-maniac:.
Firstly, I like how you shade the body skin and clothes. The pose is also unthinkable for some persons (it's cool, really!). The shade color looks so natural. And I like how her hair color contrasts with the whole picture. Sometimes people will just go with the harmonious colors. You dare to try something different, that's great. However, I think you are not brave enough about shading the face skin. Or maybe I just got confused about the light source?

Hello! I'm Juno, one of the OC maniac's critics. I'd like to share my input on this piece if you don't mind.
For starters, i actually like the way you painted this one. It has that 3d look yet it still looks 2d. I guess like an in between blend.
One of the things i'm confused about though is the pose. She has wings so she could either be flying or falling. But judging by the expression on her face she might just be enjoying the flight.
In my opinion i really think it was a good choice to have kept the building detail to a minimum, cause otherwise it would've just made the main character stick out and look out of place. Unless you add more detail to the character features then maybe adding details to the building would've worked. I guess you could consider that approach on your next piece.
The perspective of the buildings do need some improvements. Some of the structures looks too close to each other that it kinda makes it seem flat, almost warped in a way. Maybe if you add some shadows it'll add a more sense of depth to it.
The lighting on the main character might need a bit of touch up. It kinda looks like the light is just hitting random parts of the body. The wings and her face seems to be missing some of that lighting. Well i guess depending on where the light source is really.
Overall this is still quite nice of an art piece, especially on the coloring style. Just gotta improve on those minor things i pointed out. Oh and i understand what you mean about getting bored and wanting to move on to a new artwork. I too have that same predicament but im trying to break out of that habit. Cause sometimes you'll learn new techniques if you take your time and focus on an art project.
Anyways i hope my review made some sense! Keep up the great work!
~JuNo~

Hi, I am Muramasa91, one of the critics from the OC-maniac's critic crew! Allow me to critic on your works please.Although there isn't much time for me to make a comment, but I gurantee it'll be good! And i'll try my best to reduce the harshness~

sure thing. but please keep in mind that it should be constructive rather than being attacking and all:3

If it's someone i hate, i will attack at full speed! But you...are an exception. I will reduce the damage by a minimal.
Hmm?! 3D without any programs, That's really impressive. Not demanding much, but can you add more detail to the building? If possible, square boxes on the buildings could make them look like windows~
Your art style is similar to an acquaintance of mine, It is to such extent that i would love to emphasize that you might want to experiment and evolve your art! Never forget, RESEARCH is number one!
Nice dynamics btw. Your shadow had successfully impacted my screen to a high volume , which made me turn into this poor retard wanting more . However, what i would LIKE to emphasize ONCE AGAIN is on the character's pose. Here's a good form that you'd find handy! [link] It's Kasane Teto!
Now see her body being arced? I'd like you to emulate THAT to your character! THAT...will accelerate my passion for your drawing!
Now then, since you've achived the awesome 3D effect, i shall grade you fairly!
Four for your effort. Keep it up, and don't give up!

The original sketch had alot more details, that includes windows, the 11s on each and every building, and more actually. But because the scanner killed the sketch I had to reline everything. And as a result I was lazy to redraw every detail again^^
And yea I do research sometimes. And as for dynamic poses, it's not that big of a problem in my case, but thanks for the advice anyway.

nice purple light
gah... i forgot to tell u abt the light source... well i dont think that the light is so sheet-y that it covers the whole sleeve right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i think it should be covered a bit, cos the leg should block out the inner regions of the sleeve now that i look at it... but truth be told i normally don't be bothered to retouch "finished" piecesXD;
