Description My winning entry. 2nd place! woohoo!

Un(plug)in

The blend of traditional pencil-drawn outlines, digital painting, and vector art both mirrors and exudes the essence of this rarely-seen NANA scene: a cigarette break in-between songs in a set. Nana Ösaki unplugs from her tremendous stage presence just enough to take it down a notch as she primes her sonic blast once again.

This is amazing! I agree with the first comment posted, about the texture. Also I love how the colors you chose make the red kind of burst out.
Great job

thanks! i had a hard time browsing for the perfect leather. if i drew a leopard-skinned jacket, i think it would've been better.

Congratulations! It's absolutely awesome. I have no idea what I can say, but I love how she stares straight at the audience, and that background is pretty damn great too (like the headphone jacks, small touches make the work spectacular).

thanks! actually, at the last minute, i changed the face. she looked like a cosplayer looking like nana before. now, she looks closer to looking like mika nakashima, who played nana.

I can see why that won 2nd place! It's incredibly neat (in both senses of that word) I like the combination you used of various resources, the semi abstract background that sets the theme and the drawing itself...
I like your use of vector for colouring too, particularly for the skirt pattern, it gives it depth, clarity and brings out Nana's fashion style... A double thumbs up and another congratulation to you!

thank you! i've been trying to infuse some vectoring to my drawings. i tried to do one that's purely digital, but it didn't go as planned, so here's something with the best of both.

I love the way you used the texture on her jacket. The lines in this are great, and the simplicity of the colors is so cool.
Freaking AWESOME.
I can see why you won with this!
