HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!

Here's to another year of being freakin' incredible and amazing and kind and kickass, never let up! Here's her darling Obizuth, one of my favorite characters of hers since she's just so dynamic and fun!
Please do go check out *theblackbutterfly and her amazing characters, you won't regret it!

Hope you enjoy this hun, 'cuz I'm rather proud of it! Great way to start off every year, I swear, if I get to just draw ya a gift, 'cuz I love your babies sooooo much and Obizuth was just a freakin' darling and let me draw her oh-so-prettily (I think that she's just happy to be whole, hahaha~ )
Seriously though, Obi was just a dream~ It took me quite a while of messing around to get her pose and her face right, but once I did the lines came easy. Same with the coloring, too; I struggled in SAI for a good hour or two trying to figure out her skin shading (coloring the skin took me 3 hours at least, but I did it all and I picked my colors myself, yeaaah-uh!), and I'm quite satisfied with the final result! It also took much more dynamic lighting and shading than I've done before too, so I'm glad that came out well, too. Only thing that is a little "ah" is how generic she looks, but I'm not sure how to fix that hahaha;;;
The final picture was still totally not what I had in mind, I'd originally intended doing much more dynamic perspective work and I'd initially planned on doing a much more complex background, but overall I'm quite happy with these results, and hope that you guys'll like them too. Been a loooong time since I could color digitally and like the results, and it's great to know that I'm still improving! C:

Thank you again everyone for everything~!

Lineart, because I also rather like it: [link]

I'm completely in love with the texture of your digital coloring - it's so nuanced, it feels like markers! โ™ฅ And I really dig the composition of this piece, how she fills up the whole page and seems on the verge of bursting out of it!

Ahhhhhh, th-thank you so much! I'm pretty surprised with how the colors came out on this myself, ahahaha, but I'm glad that I took the time to really hammer it out 'till I was satisfied with it. Too bad I'm not sure if I could do it again, ahaha!

OMG this is amazing!! The perspective is quite complicated yet you make it look as if it was the most natural pose to draw~
Her face, hands and wings stole my heart! The background has a nice set of colors, they don't distract you from the character.
Congratulations!

Sweet zombie Jesus.

The little thumbnail didn't prepare me at all for the majesty that was about to unfurl before my eyes. How....How would you even start to do something like this? How is the human mind able to even understand the techniques necessary to put an image like this together? This must be what you produce when you open up and fire with all cylinders. None can oppose it.

Because the image is so genius I just KNEW you would trash it in some way...but when I read the comments...you didn't!

An image of visual gold AND you didn't rubbish yourself?

Ahhhhh, thank you! I'm quite miserable at perspective, ahahaha, so I'm glad that this pose came out feeling natural and mid-motion~
Her design is so much fun (and let me take a break on wings, for once! xD Normally I'm detailing every feather, I swear, ahahaha~ ) her bracelets are actually haloes that she can play around with the sizes of, so she's always a pleasure to draw~ I love her character so much!
Thank you!

HOLY




if I had more eyes, they would lick the screen!

What a way to bring about the new year! You've set a high bar for us! The lineart and colouring are superb! Man! Can you make a tutorial for the way you colour?? Seriously!! Guhh!!! Maybe I'll just lick it a little bit...

Ahahahahaha, careful with your........... eyes? I'm not sure how healthy it is for you to lick the screen with eyes.... 8(

Ahm, I guess, the only tip I have for this picture would be... I drew it in SAI, so I actually opened up their small mixing palette on the side, and slapped the background blue there. Then, for any shadow I wanted to paint in, I'd actually mix it with a watercolor brush over the blue to get this shade between blue and what I had, so it all blended with the picture...? Um, sorry, was that too confusing? @v@;;

Ahmmmmmmm, well, you can do it on anything really? Doing it on the canvas itself is fine too, and you just need some brush that'll give you a bit of mixing or even just opacity... Ahm, I mean... [link] on the left was my mixing pad... something like that? /probably not being helpful, haha;;

Also, oh gosh, an eye infection????? ;v; I hope you're doing okay!
