Description .... or so I want to be. ~__~

This picture's kind of reaching the point in time where I want to stop messing with it. I kind of have a feeling if I don't resolve it now, I'm going to lose interest in it and it'll go forgotten. >_O As that is the way I work.

So... yeah. DX I think this is the final stage of this picture. I'm still having a hard time with that blend-the-lines-into-forms concept. O_o I'm so used to having the lineart showing -- the no-lines thing eludes me thoroughly. But it'll sink in slowly. Very, very slowly...

One thing I'm still proud of -- the fact that I have an ACTUAL background! 8D I think that's very much a first for me. I've drawn backgrounds before, but as far as coloring went, I never attempted full-blown backgrounds. I'm still not to the point I want to be, but the key is steps, right? And I feel this is a huge step forward for me.

So... yup. That's all I have to say. Inner Universe STILL owns my soul. @.@

ON TO MORE BLEACH FANART! *is pelted with bricks*

Ghost in the Shell still belongs to Masamune Shirow

[grins] Well you and I consulted a lot over this so you already know what I have to say, lol. Yes, you did come a long way and I would call this piece done and time to make more work. [thumbs up] I so need to take my own advice, ne?

That background was pretty much the 1st thing that caught my attention!
I REALLY need to learn photoshop...I just got CS3 and haven't had a bit of time to spend playing around with it.
I need to find someone to at least teach me to do backgrounds since I really don't like illustrating them.
I love her hair and the way she's so 3-D!
You did a wonderful job on this!
You keep improving so much!

I'm so glad the background worked out! They are the bane of my existence too... >__> I think my tip would be... always draw the background first. It's a hard thing to do, especially when you're not used to it, but it really does make sense, because the character is supposed to be in the background, not the background working around the character.

Ah, thanks so much for the comment!

ChaosMagicianGirl In reply to Raenstrife [2008-06-10 23:27:58 +0000 UTC]

That IS a hard thing to do since I usually don't think up a background until I draw the character(s)

Niiiice... I liked both GITS movies, haven't seen Stand Alone Complex, though...
I love the city lights behind her ;]

I've yet to watch anything of GITS. But since D.Gray Man isn't cooperating with me, I think I'll move on to it now. >.<

Thank you, thank you!

What she's saying: "Oh yeah. This is my city." And everyone either agrees, or is crushed to death by her massive -- weight. Yeah, that's it.
