Not much on the creative stuff, eh?

Okay, so our school newspaper's comic sucks unimaginably, so I thought I'd send this to them. Hopefully, it is marginally better. Lineart only, since they don't print color. I had to rush the darned thing, so it isn't what I wanted...

Three hours with a mouse in Photoshop. Yes, OUCH.

This is a redesign of the wizard Anastasia from Bahamut Lagoon. Everything I draw seems to wind up related to Bahamut Lagoon these days...

As for the...eyeball...bat...acorn floating above her, that'd be the dragon Muni-Muni dressed up as a, well, acorn, since it is a flying eyeball with bat wings. Yes, Bahamut Lagoon says it is a dragon.

What do you think, and should I color this?

It's pretty nice and I'd like to see it colored.
Especially the acorn-clad dragon.

Yeah, this is really great for simple mousework. Must have been a lot of tweaking involved there, heh. Definitely color it up and throw it back in the thread.

Not a fan of anime styles too much, but this one is okay. The broom's pole seems a little bent. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that? huh.gif

And I don't know it that's an ear or the jaw that is close to the hair. Doesn't look like a real jaw and if it's an ear it needs to be as high as the eyes are placed. Also it looks like she's wearing two different kinds of gloves.

Please color it.

I find it slightly weird that her toes turn inward, and that her pupils are a bit large (a la that one tribe of Naruto characters with large, light-colored pupils), but other than that, excellent work on your part. It seems, seriously, as if it were professionally done.

Yes, it is, but I didn't really get the effect right anyway... tongue.gif

Ear placement is not atypical of the style (though I think the problem it that they seem to meld into the jaw line), and she's not wearing gloves. Kinda looks like she is, though! pinch.gif

In comparison to my stuff in the past, the pupils are actually quite small. tongue.gif Scary thought, isn't it?

I don't much care for the pose; was going for generic anime girl pose #2 - knees facing in. Apparently, it didn't work out.

Thank y'all for being so nice!

Aww!
It's super cute!
If you don't color it, can I?

I actually really liked her pose and expression.

Very nice work. My favorite part is the front of her dress that hangs down. I love how you did the weaving crescent designs in there.

That is a seriously cool piece of artwork, well done!
I'd like to see it coloured as well, and a few more pieces would be appreciated!

Just three hours in Photoshop?? It would have never been that fast for me; you really got a talent on your hands. I hope you plan on coloring it in the future because I would love to see it.

Only my third CG ever, so go easy, eh?

Nice coloring this time. I really liked the color contrast you've given her. You might want to brighten the lighter part of her black cloak a bit more. It still looks fade black.

That is good enough to have been used at any Halloween party in the country last night. Very good stuff.

Yeah, her eyes seem to look much more sensible when colored, somehow. I think it's the brightness contrast and mental perceptions of pupils.

Excellent coloring job. smile.gif

I think you did a wonderful job colouring the already adorable lineart.

What are you talking about?? It looks awesome! I love the coloring job, and seriously it would take me forever to do. Maybe I may be great at drawing on paper, but not on a computer with just a mouse! blink.gif
