Description FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!
......eh.
I'm actually a bit disappointed. I feel like I wasted alot of time, like this shouldn't have taken near as long as it did by how it turned out. I dunno, maybe it's just my crappy excuse of a background. Bleh.
I'm happy with how the girl turned out though, for the most part. The dress still seems a bit plain. I feel like I didn't shade it properly in the chest area, but I'm not good with kids so. Also, don't expect me to do anything with water again anytime soon. It took way too long and didn't even turn out good enough, in my opinion that is.

Yes, she's a loli meganekko. Because I wanted her to be loli, and after doing a little bit of research I thought giving her glasses would be good. Besides, meganekko are just too cute. According to Wikipedia, those that are Ox's are smart and natural leaders. So I decided to make her a meganekko but not the stereotypical shy/clumsy/quiet meganekko. I hope that's visible in her expression and pose, it's what I was aiming for.
Mmm....she's on a deck, in case that's not obvious. Because...... I had just decided from the beginning to have her on a deck holding a lantern ._.;
And I'm sorry if the lantern is off! I'm not Chinese nor did I feel like researching the lanterns! D:
And ignore the gold at the top and bottom of the lantern. I seriously don't know how to shade metal ||||OTL

Late? Wut? Noooo~ You see I'm from Pluto, and on Pluto the new year isn't celebrated until *checks calender* April 5th on the human calender~ :'D *failz*

BUT IT'S DOOOOOOOOOONE! I CAN WATCH ANIME NOOOOOOOOOW!!! DDDDD: *jumps for joy*
I've been SO anime-deprived, other than Bleach cause it's on cable, and Toradora cause I would've died if I didn't watch it ;____;

Submitting it as a print because I'm laaaame~ o3o


Used: Pencil to sketch, Photoshop CS3 with Wacom Intuos3 9x12 to line and color
Time: Billions of centuries, aka way to facking long

Well thank you :'3
Though I still hate the water, and still think I spent too long on this one picture x'D

I like the water!
If I ever wanted to CG water, I'd try it like you did first

Aww, well thanks :'3
I think if I ever try it again though I'll either look for reference photos or go to a lake xD

I'm gonna be honest: Like Dan above says, it is a beautiful work, but frankly I wouldn't really call this one of your greatest work. The coloring is first class like always, but there's something that's a bit off. Can't point out just what.

Still, good job. What's the first anime you're gonna watch now anyway?

Katyenka-Svetlana In reply to Gargant [2009-04-06 01:39:19 +0000 UTC]

No clue. Probably Minami-ke Okawari if I can find it.

Katyenka-Svetlana In reply to Gargant [2009-04-09 02:58:01 +0000 UTC]

It's a bit hard to find, since Minami-ke is getting liscensed. But I'll do it!

There is no such thing as drawing too much!
Except from that one time, my parents had to tell me to stop because I was sweating from working so much...

Yes, seriously. I drawed and colored several whole papers by hand. It looked like I was possessed.

Ahhh, I can't draw or color if I can't enjoy it, it ends up horrible x-x
Probably what happened with this one, I just got so tired of it...

Ah, but I did enjoy it. Otherwise I wouldn't have pushed myself that much.

Katyenka-Svetlana In reply to Gargant [2009-04-19 09:37:57 +0000 UTC]

Mmm yes. Though lately I can't draw much, because I lean over when I do draw and it causes back problems.

Gargant In reply to Katyenka-Svetlana [2009-04-19 09:40:06 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes. My mom kept complaining about how I lean over when I draw. So she brought me some pillows to have on my lap with the drawing board on top. It worked. Kinda. Try it out!

Katyenka-Svetlana In reply to Gargant [2009-04-19 09:47:25 +0000 UTC]

I sit at the table to draw :'D
I lean over to zoom in~

Gargant In reply to Katyenka-Svetlana [2009-04-19 09:52:59 +0000 UTC]

I know. But don't you have a drawing tablet you can use? Like a thick book or something?
I made myself a wooden tablet at school actually, and it works nicely~

Katyenka-Svetlana In reply to Gargant [2009-04-19 09:54:24 +0000 UTC]

I've thought about it, and I think the only way I can stop from leaning over is to have the paper float in front of my face :'D

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Gargant In reply to Katyenka-Svetlana [2009-04-19 10:36:27 +0000 UTC]

Exactly: Use some pillows on the lap and the tablet on top of the pillows, and it'll be closer to your face. Easy, ya?

Katyenka-Svetlana In reply to Gargant [2009-04-19 10:47:28 +0000 UTC]

But part of the problem is that my head is always leaning forward too, so it pulls on my spine.

Gargant In reply to Katyenka-Svetlana [2009-04-19 10:49:13 +0000 UTC]

Then make it so you can draw without leaning your head forward. For example, draw lying on your stomach.

Katyenka-Svetlana In reply to Gargant [2009-04-19 10:57:11 +0000 UTC]

Ah, but that's difficult, because I usually leave myself propped on my elbows, and then it's not easy to draw D:

I do think! Sometimes too much actually. Unlike some others who tend to screw up by thinking too much however, I can keep calm and think beyond to find a path that won't screw up~

Hahahaha! I think a lot when trying to sleep too, but I rarely have problems sleeping. It's kinda funny how my thoughts keep becoming more and more ridiculous the closer I get to falling asleep though.
