Description This is a depressed angel. Sad isn't it? So sad that her wings become dark as the night. For a moment, I realized that she looks alot like me, seriously.

Her wings are iridescent black like a raven. It was hard to do it with colored pencil, but I actually had a prisma colored white one.

strangely, i do actually like this. i'm not normally a fan of manga style drawings (although I did love the sequences in Kill Bill 2...), this is really quite good. I think the reason is, you've taken out the flat shading that manga often has, and you've used some pretty delicate colour-tones and shading textures, which help give this piece a real character and sincerity that i don't normally see in manga (perhaps because i'm missing it, but i feel it isn't there... i don't know...)
I really like the expression too... it goes perfectly with the skin-tone which is virtually a blush...
what do you think of my feeling that most manga feels as if it has character which is 'put on' and not really that real?

Thank you. Manga is just comic actually, anime is sometimes better. And also, it depends on what manga you are looking at. There are tons of variety.

yes... you're right but i'm immersed in whatever the western society i'm in has raped from the east... And that includes dire things like pokemon and stuff like that... if it's true art, sure, i'll appreciate it for that point me at some good manga/anime and I'd really appreciate it!
(like i say, i liked the Kill Bill stuff, and also the animatrix had some pretty excellent anime in it too i think...)

This is incredibly gorgeous. Amazing use of colored pencils. The shadows, the highlights, the movement: perfect.
