Description This is Tobu! Kayoko-chan's adorable OC.

This was .... a lot of work. XD I must have finished up with about 20 different layers!! But in any case, I am really pleased with how it turned out, and I hope Kayoko-chan is too! The cherry blossoms look a bit out of place and her fingers look like claws, but overall ... Yeah, I'm really pleased. The design on the kimono especially looks nice.

Tobu belongs to Kayoko-chan and Kayoko-chan only.

Thank you thank you, Sophi!!

I tried colouring with a different brush for the most of the background, which is probably why I like it so much. And never underestimate the colour purple! XD

Of course!! You as well, friend!!~ ^O^

Exactly! It's so warm and it just makes you feel all cuddly, peaceful and calm. Yeah, the door's a bit of a turnoff... but who cares about doors!?

Pretty! I love the paint-like feel to the cherry blossoms! I feel like the bottom of the kimono looks a bit flat, though. Maybe more shadows'll help? I also think the perspective of the double doors in the background are a bit off, although that might be the lack of shading. >_o I adore the flower in her hair and her hair itself. xD Great job on the pattern on the kimono too! :'D

Snow-the-Wanderer In reply to PannytheAngel [2009-11-16 02:09:29 +0000 UTC]

Oh you like the cherry blossoms? I really thought that they stuck out a little, because the shading style is different compared to the rest of the picture.
You're right, though. I think I maybe should have rounded the edge of the kimono too, so it looks a bit more round.

Again you make a good point... >_< Blleeegghh, I knew I should have trusted my instincts... In the original sketch I made the doors were slightly diagonal.. ERRGGGH, that irratates me now! DX

I do like the hair and flower also. ^^ Haha, I think her kimono design looks like christmas wrapping paper now.~

PannytheAngel In reply to Snow-the-Wanderer [2009-11-16 06:09:38 +0000 UTC]

Hm...they do kinda stick out, but I think I liked the style of the blossoms themselves too much to notice it right away. xD I think more shading at the kimono's edge would've helped too.

Haha, I know the feeling. Dx Perspective never likes me either!

Snow-the-Wanderer In reply to PannytheAngel [2009-11-17 20:07:45 +0000 UTC]

We should punch perspective into submission! Although I don't think that will work.

Hahaha, it could just be me trying to find problems! XD And yeah, shade would help. Kind of makes me want to fix it... But I'm not gonna.

I LOVE the way the cherry blossoms turned out! Soooo pretty. *___* And as always, I worship your use of reflective light~ Like how the shadows are purple tone and such. Amazingggg.

And you're right!! The kimono turned out really great!! I've always wanted to try doing patterns before, but your turned out really awesome!

And for some reason... I always end up with like.. 20 layers in the end. I always spam things like that- tabs, windows, layers~

Snow-the-Wanderer In reply to Mecari [2009-11-16 02:18:33 +0000 UTC]

You like the cherry blossoms? I thought they stood out!
Aww, thank you Mercari!

I think the key to patterns is (*cough* copy and paste *cough*) the shading. The pattern really begins to blend in with the cloth when the shading is put in.

And usually I try to be so neat... But ... but!! The layers kept coming! LIKE AN ONSLAUGHT OF ZOMBIES. >__<
Hahaha! I do that with internet tabs too!

I lurv the cherry blossoms! They look so soft!!

Oooh.. Okay! I've never tried it, but you make it sound pretty fun! Maybe next time...

Hahahah~ OMFG! Onslaught of zombies! Have you ever played Zombie? Such a great board game! Or zombie tag! LOLOL

I once had three tabs up and my college friend, Aldo, was like... why do you have so much up! Brother, you aint seen nothing yet! I usually have two firefox windows open with at least 9 tabs each. I have no idea why I do that.

Alright then! I think I just need to stop hating on everything I do. xD

And you should have seen the design before the shade. That's when she REALLY looked like christmas wrapping! XD

Zombie? No I haven't it sounds awesome though. TELL ME MORE!!~~

Hahaha!!! I'm afraid I've got nothing on you..! Two firefox windows ... What the hell!!!

Mecari In reply to Snow-the-Wanderer [2009-11-17 21:36:47 +0000 UTC]

OOH! Zombie is so fun! It's a board game where basically the objective is to compete with your friends and either reach the hellipad or defeat 25 zombies. Each turn you draw a square that represents intersection of the cit and you get to place zombies on it depending on your dice roll. It's so nifty! Definitely check it out sometime!!

Yup yup. One for gaia, and one for deviant art, plus all these random things that I manage to pull up along the way- like wiki entries, google images, email, and manga.

... I guess when you put it that way it makes more sense. XD I bet your firefox crashes a lot, huh?

actually no~ Not so much! Sometimes it runs a little slower, but then I go on a tab closing spree. But somehow... the tab count always seems to go right back up... @__@
