Description It's finally done! (I think)
My biggest and greatest pic yet! Too bad it's fan art though.

It's Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for DS.
One of my now favorite characters. The 'Corpus'-glyph is my own design.

I've been actively working on this one for almost 2 weeks I think. I can't remember when I started exactly.

Due to a pretty old computer, this massive pic has been seriously slowing down everything. This just makes me want a new computer more than ever. But I don't regret starting this work.

Shanoa, Castlevania Β© Konami

EDIT: I took my time to remove that small tower seen at the bottom.
It was unnessecary and a bit distracting. It sorta broke a nice, symmetric ballance. For my computer that took longer than it sounds like.

I got really confused when I missed this "------ signature ----" thing and started to wonder what you were talking about.

Indeed. Staying on ground for more than a few seconds would equal instant death.

I know what's weird about the legs! They're both bent! Fans like legs which the one is bent and the other one straight.
Anyway, everything else is great!

Know that. I just made a glyph 'Corpus'.
Donno what it would do, it's not associated with the wings.
Althought, it could be seen that way.

Annoyed-Person [2009-04-17 20:48:02 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... Don't know why but it has always bugged me that Shanoa's wings are black and glow purple. (Generally used to show that something is 'Anti-glowing', that is glowing with darkness)

Not that logical but still very cool.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Annoyed-Person In reply to Sol-Zephyr [2009-04-18 22:52:19 +0000 UTC]

I meant that it bugged me since it would fit better for a villainess, if someone just reads a description of her and her powers:

*Has no emotions or memories
*Can use glyphs, among those are three that channel the power of Dracula.
*Can summon black wings that glow with darkness/Glow purple (Depending on how you interpet the color)

If you think about it, all it would take would be one mess up and Shanoa could have easily been a villain(ess) protagonist.

Maybe I expressed myself the wrong way but the left leg looks a bit.. bent and it doesn't look like she has bones in it. :v

Sol-Zephyr In reply to BlazikenC [2009-03-28 18:17:58 +0000 UTC]

Bent... perhaps so...
Boneless... I'd say it's due to lighting.

The-guiding-blue [2009-03-28 13:28:25 +0000 UTC]

Best work so far, by far.

More or less perfect in coloration.

Legs seem to be in a bit of a wierd position, perhaps a bit short, and not slender enough, but that is a minor gripe.

In all, it has a great air about it, and this is what I meant when I said that you can do better when you try harder.
