Fear the shinyness for it shall devour you!

Oh how nice

Anyyyway more to the point, after two and half weeks 25-30 hours work, I finally finished it ;-;
This is a colaboration between me and TiffaLei She posted her work in the lineart jam thread thing on gaiaonline and I just fell in love with it and had to try my hand a colouring ^^ I asked her in the thread if she didn't mind if I changed a few things on her linart and luckily she agreed. I actuly have changed quite a few things on this girl; originaly she had a cat tail and ears.. but I wasnt to fond of those so I snipped them off and made her into an angel with wings and a halo, I also edited her face to fit more with my style of colouring, I completly re-did the nose and mouth. Also the hair, god I had so much trouble colouring in TiffaLei's bunches, I must have tryed 5 times (each hours of work) So eventually I went back to the lineart and re-did the bunches and made them curly wirly which I love ^^

Also all the background and concept of that spell things shes casting on the ground are my own. The background killed my hand, I think I overcompensated for not drawing the lines by adding anything I could think of to the BG XD heh, I like how it turned out though and the symmetry works well in my oppinion ^^ The window was one of the most fun things to do, though when I made the lines bolder it made the anime window girls face a bit strange hehe. Oh the spell the spell Can you actuly tell shes casting a spell? Im not sure, theres so much going on. but that was something i've wanted to do for a while, someone casting one of those round spells and what better place to put it than on the floor hehe I love how it glows *stares* ohh shinnnneyyy.....

Arg light sources! I have: the spell, the window and all those candels, all making light which makes doing the highlights and shadows on this picture a headache, lots of fun, but a pain in the ass. I really wanted the spell to be one of the focal points in the picture, so I gave the main glow from there, it was great working with an unusually places light source, after all it's not often light comes from underneath

What else can I say? All the work I did was in OpenCanvas and took way way to long XD
and thakyou so much to TiffaLei for letting me abuse your work, kudos to her! She has a DA addess, please go check her out shes awsome: [link] yayed

I really love how you do with real media what most people have to use computers to do. How do you make it so detailed with an airbrush o.O? I like how you made her wings float behind her. Was there any specific reason for this, or was it just because you liked the composition

YAY! I see you've finally got this done. The spell symbol is at a rather weird angle though, the axis of the cross aren't perpendicular to each other. That would be my only crit.

In a totally unrelated topic, I've told you this before, but her OPEN LEGS and DOGGY-STYLE position should warrant this deviation a MATURE submission.

Like all your anime devs, she's hawt... and I'd have her babies (if it were real).

How do you get that much detail! I love the use of purple. The stained glass caught my eye and looks alot like something out of the Dark Crystal or a Leiji Matsumoto Anime. You have the patience of a saint to do this.

PlaidTidings [2005-05-30 18:30:57 +0000 UTC]

I think it's just beautiful. The colors are truly lovely and the figure sits well in the background you made for her. Sure it's a touch busy but there's nothing that distracts the eye overmuch and none of it is overwhelming. Rather than a piece that focuses entirely on the figure it's a whole picture, and she's a part of it.

The only two things I personally think could be worked on is the face of the window figure (it's just a li'l funky in the shape of the profile) and the contrast of lighting. Since the circle is blue-ish the light hitting her from that source should be the same color. And since it is form below and a little bit under her, the places the light hits and the places it doesn't should be a little more strongly contrasted (In that sense I agree with the critique a ways up) Also, if you make the circle light a little blue-ish and the candle light a little warmer, it will give a more interesting dynamic between the various light sources.

Her halo and wings seem a little odd, since angels are usually associated with heavenly things, rather than crawling around on the ground... but that is personal opinion, and I happen to also think cat ears and tail might have looked a tad funny, too.

Wow. I don't know anything about anime, but even I can tell that this is really good! The lighing and shading is extremely complex, put you've pulled it off completely naturally! And the way that parts of her skirt are transparent just blows my mind. Plus, the immense amount of detail is nothing less than amazing. GREAT job!

WendyChan [2005-05-29 22:18:01 +0000 UTC]

Woooow! Amazing use of color! O_O

The only thing that doesn't appeal to me is, when I look at this picture, my eyes go everywhere. The subject of the pic doesn't really stand out as much as the background, since there's tons of detail in it. It's kind'a busy, you know? If you want to emphasize the figure, I suggest adding less detail to the background or fading the colors a little bit.

The left calf seems a tad too skinny to me, and there's a teeny dip in it.

Other than that, I love the design of the angel, and the way you shaded her skin! O_O The magic effects are also nicely done.

Keep up the awesome work.

Great detail! I'm taking a particular interest in the stone floor... The lighting from the candles and the circle could've been more intense.

But you did a great job, and your work's paid off.
