Description I had this lineart floating around for a little while. I decided I needed the practice, so I went ahead and slapped some colours on it. It's an exorcist, New Zealand style! This was back in the Edwardian Age, when Junior Exorcists had to lug around huge coffin telephones when they wanted to call in to base and report their paranormal findings. Anyway, she looks like she's up to the task! I hope the ghosts don't give her any trouble...

G Pen, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Corel Painter X.

EDIT: DeviantART is squashing it! So click Full View for a better look!

Wow, this is a fantastic picture, especially the colors. I like everything I've seen of this 'Ghost Gears', and here's hoping that you expand upon your personal project! *clinks glass*

I think the literal translation is something along the lines of 'be well'? So that would be a greeting methinks.

This was during the 1900s? But it looks so modern!
Anyway, love the headphones!

Awesome idea with the telephone! Would she have to find somewhere to plug it in? Wonderfully inconvenient.

I have had a look at that game. I like spirit photography, so it really interested me...but that stupid broken-neck woman kept killing me, arrrgh, WHYYYY!!!

I'm sure you've gotten this question a million times already, but is there any possibility that you will eventually turn Ghost Gears into a manga? It looks really interesting and the protoganist looks super-cute! I read the whole Hollow Fields series and would definitely read Ghost Gears if it ever became a manga!

Clockwork7 In reply to RoaringLionheart101 [2009-04-06 00:07:11 +0000 UTC]

Not sure about a manga, we'll see. It's a personal project. In the mean time I need to focus on things that make money so I don't have to live in a cardboard box...heh...thanks for the interest.

S-so pretty! Very nice!! There's this other system called GIMP that is alot like photoshop *i think lol* but the only problem is that I can't get the colors for the skin and things like that right -__________-'

Clockwork7 In reply to HyperOtaku13 [2009-04-06 00:06:20 +0000 UTC]

GIMP? I'm so behind with these things, I haven't heard of it. The shading for the skin in this pic was done in Painter, so it's quite different from Photoshop.

HyperOtaku13 In reply to Clockwork7 [2009-04-06 17:08:15 +0000 UTC]

is it a free system or do you have to buy it?

Clockwork7 In reply to HyperOtaku13 [2009-04-06 23:49:18 +0000 UTC]

Yep, Photoshop is expensive. However, you could always have a look at Open Canvas. I believe the basic version is free...?

...whenever I think of New Zealand accents, "Beached as, brew" always pops into my head xD

Clockwork7 In reply to LavenderKimchee [2009-04-06 23:50:06 +0000 UTC]

Brew being bro?

My parents came from NZ, but they lost the accent, so I'm not up to speed on it. XD

LavenderKimchee In reply to Clockwork7 [2009-04-07 10:00:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah xD It's hard to type out exaggerated accents @_@
I have a friend from NZ, but he doesn't have any accent. It's all stereotypes, just like aussie accents xD
But fun nonetheless

Thats very good Madeleine! [holy crud, why am I predicting that someday that Ghost Gears and Hollow Fields will be crossovered into one special comic?]

Clockwork7 In reply to JaxDeviantartversion [2009-04-06 00:04:19 +0000 UTC]

They don't exist in the same universe! In any case, GG is very unfinished and just in the initial stages, while HF is finished and much easier to work with.

WOW, So beautiful, I love the story behind it as well<3 The outfit, of course, also kicks arse. This is so great. Is she the main character in your new story?

heheh, I was just listening to an interview of yours on some kind of podcast or something.<3

Anyway, I really really love this<3 and GREAT WORK ON HOLLOW FIELDS 3 BY THE WAY. : D IT WAS AMAZING.

Okay. I am finished harassing you for now.
