Description Love for =Majime ~

Sorry Maji, as much as I love you and your characters...I really don't want to colour this character with markers ever again. >:C I really fubar'd the hair (omgwtf mullet?) and the tail almost bombed too. Gradients ftl! I have to give much thanks to =TheDeKay for being on MSN while I was drawing it to give me motivation and critique as I did the sketch! I used [this] stock but altered it greatly to be more aesthetically pleasing. ;(

(I'm probably reiterating what 98% of the people said here but...)

I'm absolutely lovin the pose and the effort put into this!

And awesome with you having DeeKay there! I always love it when my friend Athena hangs out with me and gets to critique it as it's being created (saves a lot of trouble later on, I like to think ). Drawing sessions are always a blast with someone there (even if it's through IMs!) :3 zomgg.... I wish I could have a drawing session with you sometime T-T

This is gorgeous, 'Nuka! You can see all the effort you put into this. I love the hair. It flows beautifully, and even if you fubar'd it a little, it's still fantastic looking. And I love the perspective you used, even though it was referenced.

This.
This is so much fun!
The pose is really neat, it's fun to see you trying something new like that. Your coloring is so delicious, especially on the hair. And I love the rainbow outline, it really pulls the whole thing together (:

I checked fA first too, so it works. X3 All your characters look AMAZING digitally but whoa dang hard traditionally! lol. The layering and colour gradients drive me crazy, but it was really fun to work on - a challenge! xD <3

Thanks! Since it's giftart I had the goal to please whom I'm drawing for, lol. I still can't grasp the idea of drawing for myself yet, but I'll be working on it soon enough~

kuro-kaitou In reply to Nanuka [2009-01-15 21:47:50 +0000 UTC]

Well giftart is kind of like drawing to yourself, since it's your own idea for that person who you want to please with the drawing. I'd say you did an awesome job.

Kittn622 [2009-01-15 15:04:58 +0000 UTC]

O_O WOW.

you didn't fubar anything from what i see. the hair doesn't look like a mullet, either. it looks like it's flowing well with her movement.

this is pretty sweet, 'Nuka. it's nice to see something different from you! keep it up!!

Nanuka In reply to Kittn622 [2009-01-15 15:08:56 +0000 UTC]

The rainbows in the hair are almost non-existent cause I didn't really plan them out as much as the others. D: Crap, you can't really see the teal either, whoops. But thanks, lol. I've still got 2 linearts to colour epic-ly once Vyn passes the Paypal transfer~ ._.'

Kittn622 In reply to Nanuka [2009-01-15 15:14:05 +0000 UTC]

you can totally see the rainbows but the teal is kind of faint. you can still see them, though!! at least you know for next time to plan ahead with the rainbow-y (if you ever draw Dag again, lol) colors and to pop that teal.

but seriously, this is badass.
