Description
This is my homage to Tsukushi, Jennadelle, Mei-san, Pu-sama, Bara-chan, and Satougaki (and even Bengal, to a degree). I tried to do as much detail as I possibly freaking could. It's all on the same sheet of 8x10 paper, nothing cut and pasted in Photoshop as I sometimes need to do.I'm always jealousy-struck by the abilities of the aforementioned artists, and I feel like everything I do falls short in several major ways. So I decided to work on something major. One way I feel I need improvement is developed detail. Another is backgrounds. This one doesn't have a full BG, but I did put all my effort into that one building. (I didn't want to highlight/shade it, or else it would complicate things.)
Sadly, the sketch started out as a not-so-perfect anime girl, which is why her face is crooked and her body is stiff, and is that a hat? If so, how teh f--- is it staying on her head? The wings look the same as in Gothic Rei, and she looks a little like Garnet. And I *STILL* cant get the hang of flowy, detailed hair (like the kind Mei-san does) so her hair literally looks like grass.
And I didn't color it fully because I tend to cover up my lines when I do that, and since I'm proud of my pencil work, I wanted to showcase it. Besides, I can't seem to get the hang of my tablet OR Painter 7. Anyone know of some good tutorials?
Enough rambling. Technical stuff.
.5mm pencil on 8x10 cardstock printer paper - 4 hours
CG with Photoshop 7 and mouse - 3 hours
knowing I finally put effort into something - priceless.
And don't try to find a meaning for the title. I just like the word discrepancy.
Discrepancy.

You KNow, you Should Never Put down Your Work. My Mom Always Told Me
'That Nobody Is Just Born With The Talent to Draw, Drawing is A Gift And you SHould Be really Glad you can do Something That Not Very Many People Can do.' Just Something to Think About ^^;; Anyways, I love the detail you put into Your Work. And your Hard Shading Is Wonderful =3

The detail is beautiful. o_o And I absolutely love how you do your wings. < 3 I personally like the hair, but if you are looking to do more flowy-type hair, just try curling the ends up. Or just putting little waves in it here and there. And believe me, I'm -still- trying to figure out how Bara makes the hair in her pics look so smooth and beautiful. o_o

You and Jennadelle have, for the longest time, been such an inspiration to me. Your art just seems so natural for you, and I always feel like I'm forcing myself to draw. Nevertheless, you, Jennadelle, and a handful of others give me something to work towards, something to strive for, because your work is so amazingly wonderful.
I'm sure the talented artists you've made this particular piece for will love it as much as I do. Keep up the good work.

That is so amazing, I love all of the detail, and how her skin and eyes are the only other color. So great, I can't even begin to explain

i don't ge it; i always thought your style was detailed, very detailed. i mean your CGing/coloring made your pencil/pen sketches more detailed.
but then again, i can see from your point of view how your art isn't as detailed as some of the artists you mentioned but what i don't see is why you'd want to make your art more detailed, i mean i personally think that what makes your art your art is the fact that it lacks the amount of detail that some artists have but you always made up for the lack of detail with your great sytle of coloring.
i, personally speaking, wouldn't be trying to improve my style so that it looks more like mei-san's work but i would be trying to improve on the better aspects of my style and really making is stand out more; for example i would keep working on your CGing talent, i really think you have something going there.
but then again i always found the beauty in simple art then in more detailed work.
one key rule that i always tell me; " there's always people who can draw faces better then mr or people that can color better then me but that's what makes my art different, we all have different styles."
anyway, you probably can't read what i just said but, to put what i said simply, you shouldn't be trying to change our style but more so trying to focus on the parts of your work that you really like and really work on it.
then again that's just my opinion and i don't follow my advice most of the time.
either way you go, i wish you good luck.

Goregous GORGEOUS wings, and the detail in her hair, outfit, the background, and her weapon are just... WOW.

I like this and the way you usually work. It's a nice change, but it lacks the atmospheric quality of your usual cg stuff. *shrugs* I really like the monochrome with spot color.

Holy expletive deleted that's some mother freakin' crazy detail you've got goin' on there. Fabulous work Fallout. The time and effort thrown into this work shows. I like the character design and that big ol' blade she's got there. Nice colour tones too. Great work.
