Description We should have known...

---

Full view if you'd like to see the details.


No-one in particular, just a character that's been bugging me for the last few weeks and omg he doesn't have red hair. It's dark brown!

Attempted to draw an "exciting" perspective. Felt dizzy most of the time while drawing. XD After that Birdcage picture I had sworn to myself that I wouldn't drawn anything that detailed ever again. But do you see that policy working? =_='

Metal wings and wires.

---

Photoshop CS2, Wacom tablet, around 40 hours over 1.5 month period of time.

A huuuuge thank you to my sensei ~shakken who has encouraged me to continue with this work and add more depth to the composition. He has also provided me with lots of links to inspirational army movie clips on Google Video XD [it's hard to find these things with dial-up].

Oh yes, and thanks to =rayk for teaching me the importance of drawing environments. It's very important!

Tsubaki-chan In reply to kaoru87 [2006-09-05 16:36:44 +0000 UTC]

It is an odd perspective, but it has cool kind of warped perspective feel to it. I thought it was intentional. Goes well with the explosions & structures.

mark942 [2006-09-01 15:55:25 +0000 UTC]

Amazing perspective, I like the background and the colorus you have used. Impressive hair, I like the anatomy of the face even if it is very feminine. It is half way between ralism and anime. I like those wings too, I used to draw similiar wings. Good work

kaoru87 In reply to mark942 [2006-09-03 00:28:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much It's not anime though... It's just stylised realism.

I hope you don't mind that I've featured your art in my journal It's just too awesome!

Really nice work, especially with the detailing in the background. The perspective is very interesting and draws your eye to the explosion at the bottom. The wings are great and add another dimension to the characters already interesting appearance.
