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.

Awesome picture so which reference should I start talking about first?

Oh and I'm sure you'll find a way to lower it to 72 dpi. You resourceful that way.

Very intense color work and I like the meaning of this piece. It looks like she just came through a worm hole into a parallel dimension.

Awesome revamp is awesome. While I liked the original Crystil design, I also LOVE this one. ^^

Tuume In reply to ??? [2010-09-28 19:17:48 +0000 UTC]

Amazing design; the pose and curvature lend the piece a feral, natural quality, yet you can still see the femininity shine through. The face portion drew me in. The scimitar-like tail with the orb is great. Well done.

Simply briliant.
I think you did an excellent job.
besides, even if you don't win,
I still think your creation is way better.
I mean look at it...I don't think anyone
would have a chance if they met it face to face.
