Description I've been working on this FOREVER. The longest time spent was on the line art. I just couldn't get myself motivated enough to open up Illustrator and clean up the sketch.

It's taken me a week or so to color it. It might have taken shorter but I had friends visiting from out of state and we hit the VERY AWESOME The Cure concert at MSG last night...

Which leads me to the title. I basically had End on repeat for 6 hours today while finishing it. Robert Smith I LOVE YOU.

The background was made with 's very cool nebula tutorial. Oh and I took major license with her sword, I wanted to make it look more like an actual weapon that could harm you, but still keep it in the Maho Shoujo style.

For 's Sailormoon panel.

OMG this is awesome! I have been wanting to draw her. Now I feel it wouldn't be honest if I draw her without linking to yours since yo have inspired me soo much!

Awesome job!

Amazing job with all of the details! I love it when her fuku has pearls. :3 You can tell that you spent a lot of time on this and it paid off! The dim colors and shadows work wonderfully dramatic with it. Great work with that background, too!

Thanks so much! I'd like to redo the background someday, but for now, it's all right.

Everyone on the Otakon panels wanted this picture when we were making panel prizes. Heck I gotta get a copy of it myself!

Very quality work there!

LOL! Thanks so much! Looking at it now I wish I had gone with a different background. Maybe I will. But I'm glad it was popular!

Your style is very good ^^ I just love the outfit you created for her (or maybe my memory is bad XD but I can't remember this outfit !)
Also the night coloring, very well done ^^ Good job !

Thanks! I am still really proud of this pic. I didn't create the outfit, it's from the live action series.

Awesooome! :-D Love the BG...very cool. I still have to figure out how the frickin' frickin' you all color on Photoshop so well! *sigh* Oh well, back to the drawing board. lol

Thanks! It's taken me all of 6 years to get where I'm at now. I want to figure out better ways of coloring so I've been checking out tutorials online. I wish all the good digital coloring instruction books weren't in Japanese!

SweetFaith06 In reply to skelly-jelly [2008-06-25 04:32:53 +0000 UTC]

Wow, 6 years?? *slumps* I'll probably take longer, eheh. -_-' Yeah, my brother's told me about tutorials, but I'm too lazy since I have dial-up...I'll wait til I get back to school and have wireless. But they're in Japanese?? Bah. Guess we'll have to learn the language? lol

You can find a ton of great tutorials on deviantart itself, here are some of the ones I used: [link]

Schweet, I'll have to look at those later tonight. :-D Btw, you know that "render" light option on Photoshop where you can make a ball of light in your image?? How the heck do you stop the bright green spots from appearing?? Like, the brightness will be perfect, but then it's got sun spots in places I don't want it. I've never seen those in icons and stuff.
