Description I decided to draw an updated design of Crystil for WACOM's 4th Anime/Manga Character Design Contest , which was to design a monster. I don’t think that I stand much of a chance, but I'd thought that I would give it a shot.

Took my exactly three days to complete, personally though I don’t think it’s my best design, but hey it’s something for the Folio. In heignsight I’m actually quite proud of how the totem thing she’s sitting on came out.

I tried quite a few new things with this piece, like atmospheric perspective, and improving my lighting overall.

I had a bit of a probel when trying to get the dpi down to 72, but with a little help from Damien (~lowman-x ), it was swiftly fixed.
So I hope I win, as I really need a new tablet and the Moral boost.

Wow! I personally love this design. I think the tail is the best part, a close second is the shape of the body. Of course, I can't wait to see more from you!

Thank You, I felt that her general shape and tail have always been the strongest point in her design that didnt need much refinement

Its done via the guys at WACOM who judge the winner based upon artistic merit and originality. Eliminates bias I suppose.

-whistles- Quite the sight she is. Dangerous looking, that tail is something else, and the atmosphere is quite dark which fits the whole monster stick. Very nice.

If you ever were to make a game with her in it... it might be the 2nd game to ever scare me!

PS: The first one was FEAR 2. Nothin else has really scared me, But FEAR 2 had me stopping every 15 min to catch my breath at a couple points...

Reminds me of the Night-gaunts from the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. And how they exist within a dimension that interconnects with the dream world. And they fly upon their ethral wings...bringing nightmares to all.
