Description My second completed attempt at digital art, and my favourite .hack character, Helba. I got a little tired of this piece near the end, so there are many areas of sloppiness, and my blending is poor. I also didn't do much with the dress section, no shading, all my attempts made it look very bad.

I will post a progress picture, as I took quite a few from start to finish, all created in Photoshop CS4, and some linework was done in Sai.

Edit: Here is the process picture for those interested.

d(@.@) This is awesome, better than any digital work i've done which isn't much lol Excellent tones on Helba's skin, wand and outfit, have to say her wand really stands out with all that detail ^o^

xD sounds like me when i've spent ages on a drawing, just want it out of the way lol

WoW a comment! Thank you! I am so glad someone can see that this did take alot of time for me, I can't pump out pieces in 2 hours like a lot of talented artists, and that staff probably took the most time. I am quite happy with how her skin turned out too, not too much shading, because I wanted to keep her skin looking fair.

Thank you again!

@.@ i'm surprised you don't have alot of comments seeing there is a high number of .hack// fans on DA. ^-^ I can see all the work you've put into this awesome picture from the timeline you put up and seeing the posts on .hack//Portal~

d(@o@) You've made an awesome Helba pic, surprised there isn't that much fanart of her.

I'm surprised you haven't ordered the Helba badge

Haha that's okay, .hack is a niche market, so it's understandable. And Helba isn't THAT well known! I appreciate all support though

And do you mean the push pin button thing of Helba from the CC2 store? Or is there a badge I don't know about? lol

Scygoku In reply to Lynxaria [2013-04-01 09:37:24 +0000 UTC]

^_^ a niche market with tonnes of merchandise to buy lol So many .hack items can be found for the series albeit quite afew like statues/kits are rare

^.^ yup yup the Puchi badge for Helba on the CC2 store~ Kuukai got a 10th anniversary puchi badge from ordering both the CC2-chan and .hack// set from the store, I didn't know they existed xD

Scygoku In reply to Lynxaria [2013-04-02 17:15:24 +0000 UTC]

^o^ Hope you get it soon then~ On the CC2 you'll need to select the badge set with Helba,atleast its only 500 yen lol

wish I had one,dang CC2 don't do international shipping so an deputy service is needed. Indeed you did, they should make you a .hack// medal

Lynxaria In reply to Scygoku [2013-04-02 18:52:19 +0000 UTC]

I tried ordering from the CC2 site too, but they only ship in Japan =.=

I remember a source you posted on Portal, so maybe I will finally buck up and use it haha.

So many .hack treasures to be had @_@!

.-. I know it sucks, good thing there is deputy services even if they are more expensive atleast it gives us a way to get them.

^o^ you should give them a go, that way you can get more .hack goodness lol

There is a treasure trove to be had, shame alot of its on the CC2 store
