Description
Alternate title: "Don't bring a gun to a word-fight!"Some people take fascism to new levels. Not that fascism isn't a level of its own -I would argue that it is probably the highest level of self-centered, isolationist, superiority complex.
The federation in my stories, seems to forget about what it stands for, even with the colors they constantly flag and march under, but then again, there are people like Erika, here, who seek to remind their fellows, just what they're fighting for.
This scene had been plaguing me for a while; I wanted to draw it and to portray just how hot-headed Erika, is. Actually, I had several, more violent and gory ideas in mind, but they just seemed to lead too far and I think what I stuck with, works better to convey this mood.
I also had a lot of fun, experimenting with lighting and colors and I gotta thank the people who helped me with constructive criticism, out there -you know who you are, you magnificent people XD- I know there is still lots of room for improvement, but actually having someone tell you when stuff looks good or not, does make the journey a lot more fun.
Edit: I gotta thank for noticing that their heads were a bit too big; hah, this wouldn't have been such a big issue if the perspective, didn't call for them, having smaller heads than usual, but alas, I digress and I did tweak a few minor issues as well.
(for some reason, the pic refused to be exported at 400dpi so here is a slightly lower resolution version)
Edit II: I'm just clearing up some errors done in vectorization and some clipping of layers that I got from the previous edit. Unfortunately, my computer is being a bit uncooperative and so, I'm only uploading a low-res version for now, but will update with a higher-resolution, pic, soon.

Thanks Naku, cause I went to great lengths this time, to rather, trust my own instincts and I went for a lot more artistic liberty, than sketching everything out and planning it with perspective-points as I usually do. ^^ I'm glad you like it.

Planning a drawing into that detail sounds bothersome :/ isnt it? Draw and be free I say! : D

Well, it'd have to depend on the scene and what I'd be going for, but in this case, I needed to fill a gap and not go overboard as there's more exposition to be added. Soon, we'll be back to the action, but this is also, just a smaller side-project, so I don't intend to put too much effort into planning and structuring it ^^
Making art is always gonna be a balancing act of sorts, I believe....

'totes'?
well, okay.
pah, is no match for the insanely, lunatically oversized haeds i used to give to the figures i drew back then. when i view such nowadays, i sjut wanna cry and headbutting knock myself out on the next best wall i can reach. seriously, it feels horrible to me, i can't see them without the most horrible feelings of self-shame ...sound drastic? but it's not far form the truth.

yep "totes" =totally
I guess, the main reason Erika's head looks big, is because of her hair, but I may have drawn her head too big either way... I edited it though, so does this version, look better?? (I also changed the size of the man's head)
Now back to typing up the note reply XD (its prolly gonna take me a few more days to get through all the reply-posts; I hardly even get through one a day, sadly)

strawberryzombie In reply to Caffeinated-Creator [2015-09-22 22:20:03 +0000 UTC]
err...lol... okay^^
yes, yes, looks a lot better. well, one good little mnemonic to me, is to not only compare the head 'spherical' size to other, often lwoer body parts, but to literally imagine it eating out fem parts or so, between another persons legs, strangely maybe between the own legs. i know, this is probably poorly reliant, but in a way, it does make sense, because when oyou do iamgine it that way, and in the imagination, the head pushes the thighs too much apart due to its size... well. ^^
yeah... well, despite that our currintoff-tiopic topics interest me, i still hope we can getback to cut them away, soon, or at least asap.

Uh; I was actually scaling her head, based on her ass XD as Erika is neither the most busty or "Bootilicious" woman, so her rear is quite lean and petite and her head should be larger than said, butt... but she is still a tall woman, even if lanky.. err I dunno.. maybe it was just a brain-fart when I drew this.
I have cut a lot out, but there was still a lot to read so replies, do take a while since I just dun have the time (evident by how late it is now and I lost track of time... should have been in bed, an hour and a half ago DX)

back to about Erika and the picture:
maybe it was also sjut the angle that supported her lead looking too big for even that. what you say makes sense, even more so at the thought of what she looks like, but infact, i think, it did look too big after all, for some reason. but is better now. case closed. ^^

Massive one?? the one I showed you, was the same resolution as this one, this is just downscaled on DA and you can still download it and expand it and you'll see, its the same size, I just like the vectorized version more, dude :3
Still, glad you liked it :3
