Description This was a perspective assignment that I ended up colouring quickly in a fit of boredom. The character was inspired both by my best friend, and Miwako from Paradise Kiss, but she is neither. XD
I'm not very in love with her face, but pretty happy with the rest of it. Shoddy colouring, but I'm impatient with colour. !!

My site is now [link] so that watermark is outdated.

Very nice. You pulled the perspective off quite nicely. The coloring of the letter I is off in the mirror, and the mascara got a bit heavy. Again, very nice.

Nothing that I'm not currently working on to improve C:
I feel like I'm pretty good at seeing the mistakes I make. Not always good at correcting them in each drawing, but I see the mistakes and ask my roommates for critiques, so that I can remember for the future and try to improve one or two of the things the next time~~

Okay. If you believe that, then you are then.Sometimes the self critic can be the worst one. You sound like you got it under control.It was a simple offering. Do you then.

OK then, Habari. ^O^ For me it's obvious, just call me Chama. Or any variation or word that sounds vaguely like it (I even answer to Shamu :< )

Hell naugh. I'll just call you Chama for the time being. May I ask of the origin of the name Chama?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chama In reply to AArtisan3 [2010-08-31 17:36:56 +0000 UTC]

Of course you may ask, but... I have no idea. It happened sometime during high school. My friends and I usually make up silly/stupid names we call each other for a day or two and I'm sure this one started as a joke then just stuck around, and now I use it as my name everywhere except with my immediate family. How about Habari?

My bad about the break in response time...That name you have Chama sounds kind of cool. I think of tea, or some Indian name.

The origin of my Pen-name Habari came from someone I meant at an International Festival years ago. Habari is my real name translated into Swahili (African language). I liked the name so it stayed with me.

Del Negro (to make a long story short) dates partially back to H.S. I am heavily part Native American (Blackfoot) and African American so I took up a Spanish last Pen-name. I also like the color Black a lot so the name Habari Del Negro suits me well... Whats the story with the Avatar?

Ah, I think it might have been MY bad about the lag in reply~ A little busy these last weeks, sorry. :0
Thanks~ C: When the nickname came about, there was no meaning to it except the sounds -- it's a huge deformation of my real name.

That's pretty sweet! So what does/do your real name/Habari mean? Habari sounds like a good name to me.

The last name is nice too, and I like it because it has double meaning, but also sounds fancy, haha.

I can't remember my avatar right now -- it's the one with the white afro and dark skin? :0 Or the pale black and white one?

AArtisan3 In reply to Chama [2010-09-11 01:37:43 +0000 UTC]

Its cool.My Wi-Fi just recently got fully restored anyway. Do you. You did not have to apologize though I appreciate it.
You are welcome. Exelstenial meaningless then? I probably spelled that word wrong. It evades my Lexiconal memory well. Your real name is and it means? If you don't share its cool, I was kind of skeptical though I'll share mine.

Habari is not listed in a name meaning site I visited. Habari comes from East African language and though Swahili may have Arabic roots.Edward means 'wealthy guardian' if you add Del Negro you roughly get an Arcane-like name for me. Thanks for both compliments. 'Double L the Peacemaker' is another AKA of mine...don't be blasting my secrets~

The Avy with the White Fro and dark skin so to speak. You got another Avatar/account running? I never seen you with a pale black and white one...

Chama In reply to AArtisan3 [2010-09-14 17:03:19 +0000 UTC]

Existential meaninglessness is my replacement for what people'd call "religion" I guess, if you have to have a religion (which you don't...) It's hard to explain properly, because in explaining it you lose the meaning. Like many things, really. It sounds defeating or negative in theory, but I don't find it to really be that way. :]

Haha I won't. My real name isn't a secret, I just don't use it so I don't usually say it. It's Nastajjha, a form of Anastasia.

I was confused about my avatar because I couldn't remember if I changed it or not. I knew I had made a new avatar but not if I updated it yet, lol. So yes, it's the tan one then. That's just a design I like to draw a lot, I named her Vanilla. C:
The black and white one that you can't see now was a picture of one of my dolls, just an old avatar~

AArtisan3 In reply to Chama [2010-09-15 00:29:15 +0000 UTC]

You mean randomness or chaos floating through space waiting to collide with another entity to create a new reaction or randomness?
Naugh I don't think you do either. Loose the meaning like 'defeating the purpose'. (Something else hard to explain) Naugh some things just are what they are,some things require perspective changes to understand, and others constantly change.

That's a beautiful sounding name. I've never seen it spelled with two J's and and h. What is the meaning. I think of lost Princess Anastasia...

Vanilla kind of reminds me of a character from Saga Frontier. I think it was White Rose in Asellus storyline. You create dolls?

Ahh! Sorry my reply has taken so long! I always have a lot going on, even if it's just going on inside my head...

Nah, I can't really explain what I believe properly, I guess.
Thanks! My name is an alternate spelling of Anastasia :]

I have no idea what Saga Frontier is XD It sounds kind of familiar...
I can't remember what dolls I talked to you about! I make pixel dolls (just pixel characters, really.) and I do the face paints on my own real dolls (Asian Ball-jointed dolls).

Don't worry about it Chama. Do you. I know what that's like.

Oh okay.You are welcome.

Check the first main paragraph under Scenarios for gist on Asellus and White Rose. I like that Game Art in Saga Frontier and the the music is awesome too for its time.

Interesting, though I don't collect dolls, the Artist whom I emulate often (Kazuma)Art style has been described as being doll-like in his Character Illustration of faces. You haven't told me about many dolls outside of the one from previous. (Elaborate when you get a chance.) You seem to be one of those pose-shell-study makers. That's nice of you to make Pixel Dolls for people. Also the Face Painting sounds like it requires much dexterity also...

Really lovely!!
Her face reminds me of Junko from Nana somehow.
It must be because Pradise Kiss and Nana are from the same mangaka xDD Lol

Wow, intricate details. I really like the coloring. I'm hopeless on the computer for coloring myself. Her hair is awesome, and so is the perspective... which is good because that was the whole point, eh? Well, I hope you got a good grade on it.
