Description Yup, I shirked off my study-for-finals time just so I can finish this in time for tomorrow's errands

So you BETTER get a fullview of this, alright? I was even reluctant to put a watermark on this, it was so pretty, but it's there, nonetheless.

I did an ink sketch version of this for submission to the AnthroCon's convention book; even though I won't be able to attend there physically -- my agent will hang my artwork at the art show for me -- at least I was able to submit SOMETHING for the con book...

But after that, I wanted to expand on that via computer. I tried to do it in Illustrator at first, but I'm way out of league to do anything that advanced onnit (I'm only a beginner), so Photoshop won over me.

Five weeks later and an entire afternoon of fretting over my computer's health today (had it on 600dpi, so I shrunk it to about 300-400 for memoryssake), I have this to share. This is the CMYK-converted version intended for print; I went with this instead of the original RGB one because I thought it was a very nice subtle shade of yellow to it.

As tempting as it is to have advanced critique encouraged for this, I only wish to seek for regular comments for the time being... But I am curious to know about the balance of colors, primarily whether they're unified under a similar shade of green (HSB and CMYK balance options used).

For the record, this is Miyume the Muse, my OC muse.

Program used: Photoshop CS2

Muse Species (C) NDI/SCEA

Thanks It's pretty old, but I still think this is my best. That is until I make another original that demands exposure (right now, I've been doing a lot of fanart).

That's the inspiration But there are different design elements that makes Mi-Mi different from the other Muse.

The yellow and green are really strong in this picture.... some more reddish brown wood in the background might've been nice, if it was possible to add it without detracting from the subject.....

But red is hard to make fade in the background. And I say green is a underloved color.

You have very cute work in your gallery. I loved Marsupilami as a kid in the late 70's
Thanks for the flashback

Really cute too

I was able to do sketch comparison between the two 'muses' as well. I might need to submit something like that in the near future, because even though she looks very much like the Muse from J&D, I received inspiration from another character I adore overall.

MiraKHall In reply to Lapis-Lazuli-Dragon [2009-04-06 17:46:16 +0000 UTC]

She's roughly based on the Muse from Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. However, she's designed differently from the original, so she's a lemur-leopard-cat thingy...

You're sweatin' and bleedin' was not in vain, this is great.

Tell me about it, and I wasn't expectin' this to sell at the first showing at AC (I wasn't there, but my agent brought it there for me). I haven't yet found out how much I sold it for...

Winterflight In reply to MiraKHall [2008-07-23 17:41:03 +0000 UTC]

Very cool. You have an agent, wow. That's interesting, I never thought an artist would have an agent. though, now that I think about it it would probably be rather convenient.

MiraKHall In reply to Winterflight [2008-07-23 18:47:07 +0000 UTC]

Anyone can get an agent; this is more of an informal agent instead of the real thing. Their main job is to just bring your stuff physically to the designated location and do the paperwork while the artist is stuck at home missing out on all the fun
