Ah... my first oekaki~ Not bad, ne? I already see many things I could improve in this picture, but I have this tendency to love almost every work I create ^_^. And I DO love this one, hehe.The two lighted symbols are chinese characters: the above symbol represents my chinese astrological sign (the ram) and the one near the lower left corner means the light. And I know that my sign and light have almost NOTHING in common, but those were the first two characters I could think of -_-;;. I love my bg: the design was a last-minute decision, so it was difficult to make sure that the original figure (the girl) and the 'stars' would come out unscathed... but I did it! ... I hope ^ ^;;. The transaction from gray to blue wasn't as smooth as I wanted to be, but overall, the effects are great, if I do say so myself. The lines of the girl could be thicker, but I don't really know how to do it... except the hard way >_<;;. And the shading... ah, the shading. Beginner standards, of course... but it came out better than I thought. I also did a few last -minute changes that are barely noticeable, but I think it improved the overall picture ^_^. Plus, that moon in the pic is probably the best moon I have ever done in my life. So proud... hehe. *sweatdrops* Oh yes, one more thing: "Yue Nu" means "Moon Lady"... just to clarify things up.

*sigh* The face is deformed. The hips look abnormal. The arms need drastic improvement. The hair is lopsided. Must I criticize myself further? *goes back to work*

*takes a deep breath* The bg is nonexistent. Only the head has been colored. The dress is too simple. Shading can be improved. Do YOU think this is done?

Argh... where's the bg?! *goes mental* Ok, ok: this is FAR from done. I just felt like coloring the girl... isn't she beautiful? *idiotic smile* But seriously... I can't believe that it actually turned out pretty well ^ ^.

I guess I could claim this as "done," but it's missing a lot... -_-;;. Therefore, I am going to put my impatience aside and continue improving this picture... but you must say: this is pretty good... heh.

Look at it! Look at it! It's finally done! *victory dance* Took me two grueling days, and I know that it isn't even that good, but it doesn't suck, does it? *confetti* I'm so happy! =^_^=

<.< >.> Sorry for not commenting on this till now, been alittle overwhelmed with all the new stuff since i got back. Aywhoo~ Its ironic how your first picture is better than any of the others. The shadeing on her kimono is really nice and the moons glow is also exicuted prettly. Try useing Airbrush or pen on your lineart next time, makes it smoother and enhances the feel of it ^_-. The only thing that bothers me about this is the Cloud/Mist stuff. You do know how to use layers right? The fact that it cuts off on her edges and leaves a gapeing blue hole is distracting. Her pose is nice and you could even have gone darker on the background blue for more effect. All in all this is definatly one of the better "first Oekaki" pictures ive seen.
