Description
PLEASE NOTE: This piece still requires a few touch-ups and because of that, I didnd't really work that hard on getting a better scan (it's too light). Once I'm done with the touch-ups, I'll re-scan a better version. :3This is a 99% complete piece, now. Some paint touch-ups still need to be done (like the sleeve of her left arm not blending right on the piant job). But other than that and a few other details, most of it is done.
This is what (I hope) will end up being the cover of Issue #3 of Solo Flame, if it'll work out right. First time a character other than Zuri gets some cover-space. Rah! Yay for the water girl.

I like the colouring, tone, shading, and the detail. Though, it also looks a tad plain. I like it, I do, but there's something about this one that's different from the rest, perhaps there's no glow?

No glow?
Sorry...I don't quite understand what you mean by that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, it's quite understandable, some people don't either.
what I mean by no glow is that the highlights on her hair and other aspects don't shine that brightly. Like... The highlights are very dim..
Hrm... I'm sorry I can't explain it better. T_T

That probably comes from the scan, then. Which isn't to the best quality (that and the picture still has touch-ups left to go).

That hair is simply mind blowing. That background also has very nice details.

I love that hair. I really do.
You manage to make everything look shiny, even in paint. I can't paint for my life >.<

holy hairdo batman! the time that musta taken!
what kind of paper do you use for your markers BTW? every time I try to use my blending marker it bleeds lots.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Urph....already said in the Media description what paper I used.
It's 'Kaskad' textured card. I used to buy the stuff from Warehouse Stationary (about $6 for 10 sheets), but they seemed to have a new brand out and such...which frankly, I don't think is so good *clings to her Kaskad* so I am using this stuff sparingly, while it still lasts! X3

sorry about that. I only just got me some copics, so I'd gotten into a habit of skipping over the technical bits. Bad me.
I'm so very glad you live in NZ, at least I can go to a warehouse stationary without leaving the country. Honestly, there's only so many times I can hear something came from wal-mart before I scream.

XD I fully understand the American's 'obsession' with Wal-Mart. I asked to go into one when I was over there a couple of years ago...as to quote an American tutor of mine: 'It's the Warehouse...on STEROIDS!'
But yes, there is actually ALOT of good art supplies around NZ - ya just gotta know where to look. My two top-rated places are Warehouse Stationary (even more so - their Mega stores!) and Gordin Harris (my art paradise!....they're just very expensive. X3 So huzzah for my student discount!)
