Description a.ka. "schizophrenia".

Lost internet for about 7hrs, drew/coloured this during that time.

Very, very old character; Arias (are-ee-ahs). Last time I drew her was back [in 2004] actually. Not sure how well it plays off, but I focused on shading one side & highlighting the other, for emphasis on the design n' character personality(ies). The brushes in the BG came with CS4, which was awesome. |3

Interesting, I would have liked the line work a little smoother but the concept and execution are brilliant

This is just awesome
I like how she didn't change from her original design (other than the earring placement).

I love your style, and I love the idea of the half-and-half split mind. As far as the shading VS highlighting, I don't know. The value changes on the black and white are barely visible, to me, and especially on the white side the color looks very close to flats. It may have been more effective to reverse the sides the effects were used on, but that may well take away from the original reason for using them. I just feel like black and white were, while perhaps the colors you needed to use, not the best to try out this particular practice.

Good job!

looks great cornflakes (lol remember when we found out ur name meant cornflakes? i miss THS sometimes)I still really favor your character that was all stiched together. You should draw that one, and "afflict" it with the Vyktor style

Oh man, I've always loved this character and it's really exciting to see you draw her again. She has such an intense design.
I love the anatomy and pose here, she looks so graceful. You did a great job drawing all that cascading hair and fur.

Oooh, I remember this character from back in the day! I was always curious to know more about her, but it didn't seem like she got much character development compared to others (ie Abydos). But it's wonderful to see her in your current style, and something different from that standing pose! I always adored her tail particularly, so floofy! And even though the color scheme contrasts, it manages to come together in some way that I can't very well describe. Anyhow, as I said, it's great to see her again

To this I say EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I LOVE this character design SO much.

And I love to see her doing something besides standing, since that's all I've ever seen her doing.

Always a fan of the long, 'draping' tails. The position and proportions are great. This is an awesome piece!

It is so cool how you've improved, but your art style is still almost exactly the same. It's recognizable as your art no matter what year it was drawn in. Man I wish mine was like that. o.O It seems like my style has changed so drastically in the past 6 years.

I really like this character. And it was a very awesome idea to shade one side and highlight the other. And her hair is neato.
