Description
OMFG....FULL VIEW FULLVIEW FULL VIEW FULL VIEW FULL VIEW FULL VIEW FULL VIEW
promise me you will full view!!!! OVER A MONTH went into the background ALONE - ENTIRELY BY HAND.
yes, the background was entirely created by me using brushes. NOOOOO kidding ;D However, the
texture in the lower-right foreground was pasted in - that was the only thing I didn't generate. Everything
over/beside/around it was still amde by me.
Not fullviewing this would honestly like kicking me in the balls... I worked my fucking ass off
and for anyone to not admire it in detail would make this all pointless @_@
I've really outdone myself this time *____*;
Credits:
Taka Tony - amazing drawing style which this character is based
Siya - feedback all throughout the design process... someone who I couldn't do without. ^^
Me. yeah me. I deserve the most credit of all !!!! HAHAHAHAH

Very beautiful, and supremely sexy. The water is clear and attractive, as is the female. The wings are a little off and sub-par in comparison to the rest of the picture, but the image as a whole is lovely.

all is very good. especially the background. it support your picture. but, maybe it just my feeling. the pond isn't really given that is a real water.

The water looks amazing.
The background looks good.
Excellent color and tones..
The only gripe here is that:
The wings dont look convincingly wet.
marvelous work otherwise,

Nice detail in the background, and I like your character model The whole thing kinda clashes with styles, but that isn't a good or bad thing, its an interesting point in the art as a whole

OMFG! You finished it!!! ^^
Perfect! Aria and the water are stunning!
Congrtaz! I'm definetly faving this!
I dunno what are those lines in the sky, don't think they suit the pic very much as well as the whirlwind.
What am i saying? The picture is awsome! Good Work!

HaydenM In reply to Overdriver [2005-12-08 23:20:41 +0000 UTC]
uhm... whirlwind? o.o oh! that bit of blue energy.. Well, making a background that suited the perspective was the hardest and most frustrating part of this whole thing, more than brushing everything infact.. so something surreal solved all these problems . I was just so glad to move onto the sky and finishing touches at last! Thanks for everything! n_n

Lol, you could have done something more close to the real like concentrate more in the swimming pool idea. But it's great, and the sky looks really nice. Hope seeing more drawings from you. ^^ You only have one character, that's weird, 'cos usually ppl have more characters, so that they don't get bored.

Well, I have 2 characters actually. But I never made proper artwork from the other like Aria. I don't get bored, because I never run out of ideas for a picture for her though thanks for the comments!

U are going to make this a print right O_O ? This is fantastic %_% I want to see the original resolution one x_x
One suggestion : I think the wings could have been shaded more, they look slightly flat compared to the rest of the piece. Also, they seem a bit narrow...but thats just my opinion.

HaydenM In reply to Vel-Asunai [2005-12-07 08:22:58 +0000 UTC]
I would love to make it a print ;_;... but I don't have a subsciption to have that option
As for a full res pic, it doesn't actually look *as* good, because I designed it to be downsized. (and some effects count on the way photoshop resizes to make them look realistic. well, the waterfall water anyway n.n) Though at half size (2392x1556) it's still good, and the details are still awesome and even clearer. n_n
Yes, the wings are very narrow, but I didn't want to cover her body any more than I allready had, actually I wish more of her back was shown -_-;
the shading to the wings is mostly uniform due to the fact that theres no light directly hitting the visible side, and therefore no direct shadows. Elaborate wings (for me anyway) take weeks and weeks... and the biggest reason 'Aria Plasma' took 2 months. ^-^ thankyou so much!

I'll try and buy you a print s account someday, that way you can get this up on prints...as for the wings, you could have always made them transparent...that way the body would show up and everything behind the wings, and ud still be able to have full fledged wings. I love your work and I hope to see more of it, it inspires me. You're welcome ^_^

I allready have a wallpaper version for mine - I just added black borders to suit a 4:3 aspect ratio. But yes, it makes one hell of a wallpaper though

yeah, it looks like it will make a nice one, once i get tired of looking at Urahara Kisuke (from bleach manga/anime)....i change wallpapers like once a week normally...this bleach one's lasted for 2 weeks now, so its long overdue... o.O ....something with some curves (the female kind >.< would be a welcome change...

for some reason the quote " if life were like that, you woldnt need master card" popped into my head when looking at this pic...anyway
your background is really interesting, and although shes in a rather..'touching' pose, your colouring is wonderfuly done , a swell as your lineart. the only thing that bothers me is the bottom of her hair. Its a little plain compared to the rest of her.
otherwise great pic

Wow... I love you... You're so good at backgrounds!! I could never do one like that in my LIFE! And your pictures in general are amazing. I so give you props for spending that long on a picture and having it turn out wonderfully.
and I could go on forever. But you probably don't want to hear that. Anyway, I'll let you get back to reading the endless amounts of comments you get from other people since I'm just one of your fans hoping for another amazing picture that will astound us all.
Good luck with your next picture!!
