Description Just a silly picture done in some rare free time. I was gonna draw something all sad and depressing... but that made me feel worse, so I decided to draw something cute and pointless! Heh... anyway, I figured I'd stick with cliche usagisama subject matter of cute female, doing something cute! You might remember the same green soccer uniform wearing girl from a previous picture... hence the title.

Done in Photoshop CS with a WACOM tablet over WAY TOO MANY HOURS!

Thanks! I'm glad the anatomy looked good, I have a really hard time getting figures to look right in dynamic poses. So hard!

Nice work. I especially like the blur of the soccer ball, and those sweat drops are funny.

Usagisama In reply to Tsukiyono-Miyu [2005-05-08 05:36:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank ya! Yeah, the blur on the soccer ball really helps make the picture feel a lot less static! When it wasn't blurred the pic just felt so dull!

Tsukiyono-Miyu In reply to Usagisama [2005-05-08 18:59:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it really does help show movement. You know another thing is the image has taken on that photograph snapshot feel that a lot of your work has.

XD my goodness! Usagi! you've done it again!
usagi- what another gorgeous masterpiece?
kitsune- no. another incredible background!
usagi- what about my masterpiece?
kitsune- well yes. I like that too...

hahaha, j/k! Anyways, lovely work. And as always I love your painted backgrounds even if they are less complicated then past works... ano I love it okay!

Usagisama In reply to kitsunedajfox [2005-05-05 06:09:29 +0000 UTC]

LOL, it's true, my backdrops are stronger than my figures! It's my blessing, and my curse! I should submit a version with the un blurred background so I can show off all the details that got obliterated in my attempt to create atmosphere.

Anyway, glad ya liked it! And thanks for your comments, as always it's appreciated!

XD you know, you ought to every once in a while just paint a background piece with no figure in it. Gomen. I'm obsessive. I really do suck at backgrounds.. unless it's just plants or something.

That's not a bad idea, I have never really tried to do just a landscape before. Maybe one of these days!

Hunter-x [2005-05-04 03:13:19 +0000 UTC]

Sounds like some kind of series. XD
You should make her expression more of like she's into the game.
I really like the shadowing on the grass and the blurs help make it look like she's in real action.
Oh and soccer is one of my favourite sports! ^___^

Usagisama In reply to Hunter-x [2005-05-04 04:42:28 +0000 UTC]

Awesome, I should make a "return of soccer girl" manga series!

Heh, I really did make her expression WAY too tranquil for an action image I tried to cheat and add intensity with the little flying sweat drops, but they didn't quite cut it Expressions have just always eluded me.

That's cool you pay soccer, maybe you can consult me on my upcoming soccer girl manga Thanks for your comments!

good one Dave

Usagisama In reply to Argocat8 [2005-05-03 19:19:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It actually did kinda make me feel better... sort of reminded me of happier times or something semi-nostalgic Not sure why a girl playing soccer made me nostalgic though! Guess I'm odd like that!

We have been having some really nice spring time weather these last couple of days, which was a huge influence on the lighting/background. I do love this time of year, when it's not pouring rain!

hey, I like sad and depressing. although, this is a good picture (for not being sad and depressing).

Usagisama In reply to phessler [2005-05-03 19:15:35 +0000 UTC]

Heh, thank ya! There really can be a lot of beauty in sadness... like how a sad face can almost touch someone more than a happy one. Not sure if that made sense

phessler In reply to Usagisama [2005-05-04 07:08:16 +0000 UTC]

yea, I'm totally going insane reading recent megatokyo. its hella more drama-y than usual (but beautiful artwork). Miho is especially like that in the final frame of #706.

Hey, cute and pointless is always good ^.~ another lovely piece by the great Usa kun. The blur effect on the ball is a great touch.

Usagisama In reply to GinKitsune [2005-05-03 19:13:10 +0000 UTC]

Thank ya! I really was trying to give the picture a more dynamic feel... so I used motion blur on the ball and the background to a lesser extent. My way of making up for the lack of movement in the pose
