Description The third of my Christmas watercolor giftarts, for my ever generous and kind art-senpai . He likes Alita from Battle Angel Alita. And since I've recently drawn two of his OC's as art trades, I figured I'd give the gift of fanart.

Watercolors and graphite/ink on watercolor paper.

I really love how she turned out, and what a surprise! I know I've already talked in detail about this piece with you in person, but for anyone reading this, the scan doesn't do it justice when it comes to the bright brilliance of the color, even the black parts. At the same time, this scan does show just how much depth you achieve with your watercolors, and also how much confidence you have in your brush strokes, which really indicates how far you've come with being able to wield watercolors as a media.

Thank you very much, I can't wait to hang her up on my wall ^___^

Yay! I'm so glad you like it, and thank you! WOW, MY ART IS GOING UP ON SOMEONE'S WALL!

That's the one thing I hate about doing watercolor pieces, is the scan NEVER does the actual piece justice. D:< But I'm glad you can still see enough from the scan!

Having looked through a recent post by someone who does anime-style illustrations using watercolors, they said that they put sheets of plastic over the top of the artwork in order to help flatten the piece and reduce the wobbly-value effect of the scanning process. Here's the tutorial, not sure if I read it correctly, now that I think about it XD [link]

supa well done karen-chan! pretty much nailed the style while still retaining your own which is what fanart is all about IMO.

i'm sure he asbolutely loved eet!

her expression is certainly the most intriguing part of the piece methinks.

Thanks as always, Matt-kun! Your comments always mean so much~! And that is always my goal with fan art and what I strive for, so that's really a great compliment to get!

I like these traditionally coloured pieces you submitted today. This looks like it should be in a Battle Angel Alita artbook or something. ^^ Merry Christmas!

Oh wow, thanks a lot, Darke-kun! An artbook, eh? That's quite the compliment! I hope you had a merry Christmas, too!
