Description Colored version! I am quite pleased with how it came out.
Character is Lucy (or Nyuu) from Elfen Lied.

Elfen Lied is one of my favorite animes, not only for its stunning artwork, but even more so for the beautifully constructed story it tells. Well worth watching. Enjoy! ♥ (But do be aware, it is extremely graphic. Don't say I didn't warn you!)

Used watercolor pencils as usual, but also highlighted the hair with brush markers.
I actually think I'm improving!


Btw, seriously think I'm going to name my kid Kouta.

Agreed. Elfen Lied is an amazing anime - very provocative, and also one of my favorites. Nana is so cute You did the coloring very well; I must say that I admire how nice the hair came out.. You illustrate hands and probably clothing motion so much better than myself ._. Great job! But in the future, you might want to work on eye spacing - they are just a tinny bit too close together.

Hmm, are you a self-taught artist?

Thanks for the input. Hands are something I also have to work hard on!

Yes, I suppose you could say I'm self-taught. I took classes in painting and realistic sketching for about a year, but anime and watercolor pencils I had to teach myself. You?

How fun would that be! Although I'd say my skills are pretty average when it comes to art, it would probably be really difficult for me to make a living off of it. Plus, I'm really good at writing...I'll probably become a writer. :3

Lol nice! I actually feel almost the same way, the only difference is that i want to be an editor I'm better with technical errors than actually creating a story xD

Awesome! Editing would be cool too, but my dream is to publish a book. Fantasy/fiction. What genres do you like?

Carybdeidae In reply to RinaRyuu [2011-09-07 02:29:02 +0000 UTC]

Have you ever heard of a book called Wicked Lovely?

I've never actually seen the anime but this image is very well done. The minimalistic color (as the image is mostly white) doesn't distract it, somehow, compliments.

I was going for that look, I shaded with a very light sea foam green on the shirt. Arigatou!
