Exactly what it says on the tin- a picture of my OC Hattori ready to commence battle with the poor soul who stole the last cookie. X3 I'm ESTATIC at how this turned out considering I'm still fairly new to this whole 'coloured lineart' technique. All in all, the entire pic from sketch to completion took about 3 hours, mainly spent getting the pose right. Glory be to Pose Maniacs for their truely awesome references. Glory be. *worships* <b>Time: 3+ hours Tools: Photoshop CS2 with tablet Reference: PoseManiacs.com</b> Shastania Miscellaneous - Original Characters W/O an Anime Series Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:55:45 -0500 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/review.php/196324 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/view.php/196089 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/view.php/196089 A small perpective piece done as both a perspective practice shot and as a 13,000 pageview commemorative piece. I was gonna add some text but it looks better uncluttered. :) I like how this turned out-especially the face and the anatomy but I hate the legs. At that angle, they look like chicken drumsticks. I FAIL AT LEGS. Still, it's my best stab at perspectives so far so I guess I shouldn't complain. I did use a reference for the pose-it can be found on the truely amazing reference pose site <b>www.PoseManiacs.com</b> . That site is a GODSEND. This one took a total of 2 and a half hours to complete in CS2, drawn with a tablet. I hope you enjoy. :) Shastania Miscellaneous - Original Characters W/O an Anime Series Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:16:03 -0600 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/review.php/196089 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/view.php/195696 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/view.php/195696 Some Shasta x Taigo artwork for you now. I'm experimenting with a gradiated style of inking so appologies if it looks sloppy. :/ Anyhoo, this took about 2 hours to complete, mainly because profile views aren't my strong point. I'm still not happy with with Taigo's face so I might fix it at a later date. For now, please enjoy my artwork. :) Shastania Miscellaneous - Romance Sat, 17 Nov 2007 18:14:32 -0600 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/review.php/195696 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/view.php/195684 http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/view.php/195684 <i>Blinking against the slivers of hazy gold light that slowly crept into the room, Taigo yawned, stretched and slowly rose from his erratic slumber. It was 5am-way too early for any sane person to to be awake. For the young surgeon, though, it was a way of life. In less than an hour, he'd be cutting people open, reaching in and curing whatever ails them, prolonging lives, saving lives and perhaps even welcoming a life into the world. All in a day's work. \Hmmm...\ He jumped slightly, feeling the woman lying next to him shift in her sleep. Her back to him, she rested her weary head on her pillow and soon settled down. A wry smile crossed Taigo's lips. He hated this part of the morning: tearing himself from the comfort of that cosy futon, away from the warmth of her skin and the lingering scent of apples in her hair. With a low sigh he turned on his side, stealing away a few precious seconds more as he gently kissed Shasta's shoulder. \I'll see you tonight. Dream of me, okay?\ he whispered gently in her ear. She remained peaceful and still as he spoke but unless his eyes decieved him, Taigo could've sworn he saw the ghost of a smile flicker across her lips...</i> _____________________________________ :D Photoshop CS2 with a tablet About 2 and half hours References?
