This is a wonderful piece, the lineart is smooth, the coloring shading and highlights are spot on, and it's a very nice background. Cute and good. But what are those things under her eyes?
Shoebox (Apr 17, 2006)
They were supposed to be blush spots... They were bigger (you can see in the sketch) but I.. downgraded them. Thank you though *nods*

This made me laugh... I like the twitch.
Shoebox (Apr 10, 2006)
Hehe, thaks Patience. I felt like doing solids, and I figured it's been awhile since I've done Issy or Del.

No, it didn't take 4 hours XD
I'd say an hour tops, and that's because I wasn't sure what to draw at first.
Feeling ratehr sick today :/ sore throat... stupid winter.

XD I've been looking back at Porcelains stuff, she has some great solids work... your style actually reminds me of hers..
hyschara (Dec 6, 2005)
i love her ears, eyes, and the little patterns on her dress X333
The hair looks fine too

the only thing i might have a little problem with is probably her mouth. It looks like her teeth are clamped together and makes the expression a little...well i guess I'm just not used to seeing it^^
SneakyWalter (Dec 6, 2005)
Yeah. Something is wrong with the mouth. I can't even tell you what it is, but it's not quite right.
The pattern on her dress must've taken awhile.
Shoebox (edited Dec 6, 2005)
the mouth originally was closed, but I added the white for teeth as an afterthought and didn't spend as much time as I could've XD Let's pretend she doesn't feel like smiling and so it's fake.. y'know how silly fake smiles look <.< *cough* XD

And the pattern didn't take long at all, I cheated and used a 5 pixel brush set to half-tones.. you can tell especially when you zoom in.

I think it's at a stage where it can be displayed XD

As you can tell by the revisions, I'm having to force myself on this one... feel like I"m in such a slump..

This is very nice. Although small, it has many fine details. It is hard to draw small details, but you coloured and shaded the picture so well. Very pretty drawing! Oh and the girl is sexy! >;)

KH44N (Aug 13, 2005)
Very nice. The hair looks awesome!
xiau (Aug 13, 2005)
I love this picture! You've drawn her beofre, right? I love her clothes and hair! I really, really want her stockings. The colors are just beautiful.
Shoebox (Aug 13, 2005)
Hhmm, I have indeed, althought this one looks younger XD thank'ee very much ^^
The thing I have a lot of difficulty doing is getting my character to blend with the background.. I tried to add a little more blue than normal to the background in this picture, and keep the girl and the background's colours at the same 'vibrancy' if you understand me..

Thank you all for your most very kind comments ^^ they're very very appreciated...

Eeks.. I just realized I enver filled in the trunks for thetrees.. errg...

took an embarressingly long time, but oh well XD

I was gonna do Isydia, but I said 'Eh, I'll do blue...' and then this funky outfit appeared... notice the go-go skirt and Amy Brown stockings...

I like like the clothing. This would be good in the sprite board (intermediate level ^_^)
This aughta be your icon.
Shoebox (Aug 6, 2005)
Oh, that's a neat idea, I didn't think of that.. it'd probably look better than the one I gotnow XD I meant to make one specifically for my icon, but I haven't gotten around to it..
Thank'ee ^^
HunterKiller_ (Aug 7, 2005)
Wow, this is nice. Nice lines, smooth colours. You shouldn't be embarassed that it took so long, it's far easier to doodle something in a couple of minutes than sit there for hours to make something good. You've spent a good amount of time on this and it shows.
Kenshin (Aug 8, 2005)
That's really awesome. It's so small and so clean.
I think the outfit is cute XD Gotta love the stockings.

Real time - 3 hours 5 minutes

Tried to go with the temple theme, but after a few sketches didn't come up with something I liked, so I said.. Eh, pillar, forest in background, viola!

XD I don't think she looks right with her background, she's too 'vibrant', as it were, though I fiddled with it a bit to try and make it look better, dunno if it worked...

Not altogether happy with this, but better luck next time eh?

WEll, she looks nice.. and the background looks nice.. but they don't exactly look nice together...
vigilante (Jul 31, 2005)
Wow, I love the colours. And I think that the girl looks great, the background looks also great, and together they look nice. ^_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _^
Shoebox (Jul 31, 2005)
^^ thank'ee very much.. I'm not too fond of the shading on the purple part of the dress, but I suppose it's decent for the beginners board...

I've got to do more of Issy... I love her outfit.. oh, drat, reminds me, I forgot some things
