Description It's the CG version! Woohoo!
Pretty different feel here to Rekki and Subo's very gloomy looking images. I went for flowery, soft colours, and the whole image has a much softer feeling about it that Subo's very rugged bio picture, or Rekki's which is infused with the colour Red. I used a different technique for the hair to keep with the soft feeling. I'm pretty pleased with this one.

Thanks very much. This is one of my best CGs to date, so I'm afraid you probably won't find others as good in my gallery just yet. I will be doing more soon though.

(...Hey, my computer shut off on me mid-comment! <_<;;; )

Anyways, to make a long post short: I really love the pretty, soft colors you used on this and the dawn-like atmosphere. The way the light's rising behind her makes Rocket's pose really striking (and in a cool, impressive way, not an overly dramatic in-your-face way.) : P Rocket's expression came out great, too, it's very intense and... yeah, I really can't think of any better way to describe it that what you said, 'ethereal'. To get an expression that subtle to come across so clearly is really amazing. ^_^

all the way! : P

I love the eyes. To me they say "I am young, but I am wise."

Thanks! This pic is he first time her eyes have ever had the right feeling of depth to them. Normally she looks cute, but I wanted it to feel like 'there's something ethereal and not quite normal about this kid...'

Thanks very much! Hope you're enjoying the comic! If you need to read it in a more comfortable (less gallery jumping) way, just find 'FanDanGo' on this page: [link]

Thanks very much! I think Juliet's bio pic might come out better than this one, so look out for it! ^_^

Hahaha, funny you should say that, if you read my comments for the original pencil sketch, you'll know why....

darthmongoose In reply to KaylaIsRabbit [2006-01-27 13:15:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I try to keep the original sketch lines showing through the CG work, and also I never use pure, primary colours. Using the 'multiply' brush mode on Photoshop is really good for CGing sketches without losing the original sketch.
