Description This is a contest entry for NIS America's artwork contest for their newly-released PSP RPG, Blade Dancer.
I've never played the game before (heck, I don't even own a PSP), but the prize piqued my interest- some artwork from the woman who worked as an artist on the game. I hope I place! ^__^

*edit* I got an email from NISA stating that I won the contest. ^__^

Thank you! Yeah, I went and imported the Japanese version, but I haven't started playing it yet.

Whohooo great picture! The details oh, and the skulls! B.t.w. the name of the boy is Lance, and the name of the girl is Tess (her real name is Deliza)

Thanks! I actually imported the game, but I haven't started playing it yet. So I'm sure that once I play I'll probably wish I changed a billion things in this picture.

Aaahh

I love bows that are still alive.

Even though they're massively unrealistic, they look awesome.

This picture's wicked-cool. That's crazy that you actually won the contest.

Amazing drawing, dude. I love Blade Dancer, I don't see why so many hate it. I know it's generic, but many are now..

Thank you! I've never played it, but if I get a PSP, I'm tempted to try it out. It takes a pretty sucky RPG for me not to like it. But of course, I'd import it, so I don't have to suffer through the terrible English voice acting. XD

I know this is way late and will have nothing to do with the art, but...oh my goodness, you won! Congratulations! To win in a contest like that; I'm amazed. You did really well.

The art, of course, is awesome. I'll comment on it when I start speaking intelligent things again.

Hate to burst your bubble, but i've played the game.. And it's not really worth getting, I won't spoil the ending, but i'll just tell you this.





You'll be pissed.

Heh. No I won't. I don't have a PSP, nor am planning on getting one any time soon. I just did it because I liked the art direction of the game and I wanted the original artwork by the artist.

Excellent job in this picture. The dark lighting really sets up the mood of ominous suspense. The characters themselves look fantastic. Everything else is all the more reason you won the contest.

I was about to consider Blade Dancer for the PSP...

Good luck for the contest

The background is very simple in this pic and although I think you should have paid a little more attention to it, I think the sky is exactly spot on! Very dark and gloomy, fits very well with the scene and the colouring.

Lovely work.

Thanks! ^__^ It took me roughly two-three weeks. Of course, I had school and work in the meantime, so yeah. Overall, not that long I guess.

raiyneofgailin [2006-08-05 22:42:57 +0000 UTC]

Lovely background, and i love the detail in the grass. I think maybe their forearms are a bit too short, and the guys hand's are too small for a guy. Also, the girl's neck is just a tiny bit too long (perhaps if you brought the shoulder line up?). Looks great though, and as always your shading looks wondermus! Some light reflecting on the guys sword and clothing from the glowy skull thing would have been kewl...

animetayl In reply to raiyneofgailin [2006-08-05 23:01:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the critique, I'll be sure to keep those in mind. I actually did have some slight purple reflections on the sword... maybe they don't show up well? At any rate, the skulls were more like 'burning' than glowing, so I didn't really want to overdo the brightness. Besides, it made your eye go right to the foremost skull, and I wanted it to be more toned down.

alabasterdragon [2006-08-05 17:27:50 +0000 UTC]

nice details on the background! Did you draw each blade of grass by hand?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

animetayl In reply to alabasterdragon [2006-08-05 23:05:00 +0000 UTC]

Nope. I'd have carpal tunnel by now. I tried that once actually, and my hand was in serious pain afterward. Now what I do is I draw a clump, blade by blade, and then I copy/paste that along the length of the picture. Then I draw blades of grass along that to make it all look different. Wonderful hand and time saver, that.
