I think she needs to gain some weight.

GavinMichelli In reply to saber4734 [2008-10-21 00:55:07 +0000 UTC]

I think I gained all the weight that she was supposed to have

Seriously, the reason she looks so...well, lean, is because I wanted her to look like a fighter. If I were drawing, say, Jean Grey, I would definitely round her out to give her more of a pin-up/girl next door look, just because Jean isn't someone who engages in physical combat.

saber4734 In reply to GavinMichelli [2008-10-21 01:03:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah well you could still round her out a bit and have her still look like a fighter. Aside from the abs she looks anorexic.

She looks mean! Gotta love Jiya, she's such a great character. You did a great job with her dude. Well done.

GavinMichelli In reply to SilkyWays [2008-10-27 17:44:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I wanted to keep her really tough-looking, like a cold-blooded killer. Of course, in retrospect, I probably should have showed more boobie

SilkyWays In reply to GavinMichelli [2008-10-27 21:03:36 +0000 UTC]

LOL

I showed enough for both of us dude LOL

Did they accept it for the book then?

GavinMichelli In reply to SilkyWays [2008-10-31 19:28:38 +0000 UTC]

I think so. They asked for a hi-res version, and I sent it to them, so hopefully that means I'm in! I'm really excited. This'll be my first published work. And, of course, my art will be in excellent company

SilkyWays In reply to GavinMichelli [2008-10-31 22:14:30 +0000 UTC]

Yep, it does mean you're in if they asked for a hi-res version. Well done mate! I think our versions are gonna have a catfight though. Yours is an ice cold killer and mine's a ho!

Very nice coloring work! The character's costume and skin are excellent! The back ground sky is frightening. I think there should be more color variations with the wall and destroyed cityscape, but then they may lure the viewer away from Jiya, which is your subject.

GavinMichelli In reply to FreelancerGraphics [2008-10-27 17:39:33 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm...good point. The wall and the background had a little more shading in the marker drawing, but a lot of it got washed out in the color stage. But I guess it was a happy accident, since Jiya definitely pops a little more.

Awesome take on Jiya bro! The combination of copic markers, clean line inks and digital colors is great!

Thanks, man! You know me, I'm always trying out new methods You'll probably see more marker sketches from me in the future.

semaj007 In reply to GavinMichelli [2008-10-21 03:30:30 +0000 UTC]

That's cool! Ive always wanted to try out copics but i gotta practice lineart and inks first.
