Description
Gift artwork for Segamu, the writer behind Sokora Refugees ([link] ) - Just recently he's been helping me out and doing stuff way up and beyond the call of duty. Helping me out (let me say right now, he's one of those manga writers who's loyal to his fans and prooves it well!). So I figured I could at least do something nice for him, like do another one of his characters....that, and plug his work Go buy Sokora Refugees, YO!
Velia's maybe my second fave characters...after Salome. I've never been too sure about the lengths of the ears on the elven characters in Sokora...sometimes they seem almost Jak-ish long, and other times seem shorter...so I went with the 'mid-length' style. XD
Media: WHSmith Sketchbook Paper, Mitsubishi Uni inks, Tria Markers, Pro Markers.
Legal Stuff: Velia Property of Segamu and the good people at Sokora.com

Oh gee! I just love how you did the background here <3 The cardlike pieces of background with the roses in them are just such a lovely touch! I also like how it matches dA :B Plus, the colours of her skin are so gorgeous, and fits so well with her hair colours. The purples are so gorgeous! Her face is absolutely beautiful!

ja! I love how you do hair. I'm new to markers and the whole colour aspect of it. You must have been using them for ages. Do you have a recommended brand of marker that you would use? At the mo I use neopiko and I'm scared to use them incase I muck up the picture and waste the ever so expensive ink. They cost me about 8, 000 yen in total! EEeeek!!
I'm also new with inking and I was wondering if you use a nib or a ball point pen?
How do you get shine? gah! sooo much I wanna know!!!
um...oh yeah...I was commenting on your pic!! oops!
The eyes are beautiful. I don't know how you get that effect but I so envy your talent in it!!! The posture couldn't be more perfect and I could go on all day!!!!
Keep up the wonderful work!!

Oh, Kai, this is a beautiful piece. I'm sorry it took me so long to get to it. I love the background; I've not seen you use something like that and it's so pretty! You did really well transforming Velia into your style and her pose is very nice. Great job, sweetheart!
Also, I've read over your dialogue for the next chapter of SF. What would you like me to do with it?

Oooo, Velia. I think you've drawn her perfectly here. (And I read this manga too.
) The colours are just so smooth and pretty, and I adore the purple of her hair.

Her hair is very pretty, you do wonderful things with markers! I like the way her hair kinda just swooshes around Velia. Has so much movement, it's kinda like water... I adore the background... It looks like card randomly thrown around. I love the way you draw roses!

How did you get the grey background? Markers?

Nope, just fillied it with the colour I could get closest to the DA background with adobe Photodeluxe. Don't have photoshop on this computer (if I did, it's a simple matter of using the RGB for the lighter BG colour on DA).

Aie, that character is so gorgeous! You drew her well! I love all the purples! -purpleeeeee-
I also ove the floaty flower squares (for lack of a better description, heheh) in the background. :3 You draw flowers so well, it must have taken you ages! Flowers hate me.

*squeals* Lavender hair! I'm such in love with lavender hair and may I say the way it flows around the back of her body is just lovely. Her face has kind of got a sleepy feel, but I naturally assume her expression is one of peace and serenity of some sorts. The added roses add a nice touch to the gal, making it even more beautiful.

Jak's ears are cool, though with all the firefights he's been in, plus that "to teh death" racing in Jak X, I'm suprised they're not a bit singed.
Your ear length looks OK. I would have said that Jak length would have worked just as well, but then again, I havn't seen much Magna.

You are so lucky to have someone like that inspire you (and help you) to join in the industry of comics *green* Makes me wanna get in touch with Terrie Smith in that respect (wish I wasn't so SHY with her! ) The artwork, which is very simplistic and magnificent, I can definitely tell that you put in a LOT MORE LOVE into this one (more so than I've seen before), and that jus' makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about it
And, um, sis an' I've heard of it, but we weren't interested We still take it as acknowledgement of the growing popularity of American manga, though. (Besides, we have a huge library of manga as it is, and it looks like we'll need to second-hand some of 'em again
)

Dude! Next time you're gonna second-hand some of your manga, lemmie know, alright? XD With the growing LACK of manga we have around these parts, I'd be more than happy to trade for something...I dunno...artwork maybe? X3

More like she likes to do fanart of characters with less and less clothing items(s) on as well as her own. I mean, c'mon! Women have such WONDERFUL curves on 'em when you look at them in an artistic view (we discussed that in Visual Langiage and Culture class few weeks).

KeyshaKitty In reply to MiraKHall [2005-12-19 05:23:50 +0000 UTC]
Women DO have beautiful curves, Mira! XD Highly agree with you there - that's why they're always wonderful to draw! I do love some sexy, curvy women bodies that I can put down onto paper...egads! Now I'm missing my life drawing classes. *snivvle*

Well, she's not my character, so it wasn't my choice to have her wear very little - it was the original manga designer's.
