Yay, I have art for one of my characters! We've probably had this discussion before, but I felt like putting my comments up here anyway... especially since I've FINALLY GOT A DEVART ACCOUNT! WOOT! XD

Okay, so the picture... I really liked how you set up that sepiatone photo of a Japanese castle as the background, it totally fits the story's setting and style. The character's pose and clothes are fitting too, along with her general appearance. It looks like I managed to communicate the nature of Marusaia. She's a bit of what the Japanese call an otenba... a wild, athletic tomboy. And yet she has an attractive side too...

Heh, I just read the first volume of Love Hina, and I'd have to say that, if anything, Marusaia as a character is like a blend between Naru and Motoko, which is funny since your style seems heavily influenced by Ken Akamatsu. This picture caught Marusaia in a Naru moment... or more accurately a "cute Naru" moment. I might have to ask you to draw a picture of her when she's in her "scary Naru" or "Motoko" moments... yeah, she gets to be a badass sometimes... ^o^

I'm really happy to see this up! And I know I've told you this before, but you got the hair right! Like I said in her character description: "Hair color: RED. Extremely red. Not orange, not auburn, RED. Should be somewhere between the color of blood and the color of flame." You drew her in a different style than I originally imagined her in, but that was before I fell into my current Love Hina obsession... ^_^

This is really gratifying to see~! Thanks! [link]
