Description
Ghost in the ShellThis is Motoko Kusanagi. My most devoted obsession, and something I haven't drawn in a while. I'm going to be coloring this, like most of my other recent works, sometime soon in a bit of a different fashion, considering that the hard texture doesn't quite have the GitS-esque ambience that I want to get with this.
This was drawn when I myself a few days ago wished I could be sunk in a water that could cleanse away unease and stress, so I guess it's far more than just a doodle. Even though not a lot of planning happened, the outcome was very personal and strong in my own eyes.
I hope you like it.
Marto

Thank you Nick. I'm highly flattered! I haven't really had the chance to post much, due to the art I'm doing for other things outside of DA. Still, I really do appreciate the comment a ton! It's great to hear a praise every once in a while.

those are the best ones... the drawings that mean something personal... because you can never really tire of it... it brings back those memories of those feelings each time you look at it huh?

Marto In reply to mydragonsdragonfly [2006-12-07 02:21:06 +0000 UTC]
Mhmm....sometimes the feelings aren't exactly smile-inspiring...but nonetheless, hitherdo they make me think and remember.

Practice makes perfect. That and ambition. And you have to remember, she probably looks so good, because she's something so extremely personal!

Thank you! I love anatomy, I love the human body, and I absolutely adore beyond words my beloved Motoko Kusanagi! *fool in love*
And it will be colored shortly! (tomorrow I'm hoping to post it!)

Verry cool..... I was actually thinking of drawing Kusinagi the same way.... exept fully under the water where she was built... verry nice indeed :3

Marto In reply to JASHINHUNTER [2006-12-07 02:43:03 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! I'm going to be making one of her underwater sometime soon. I mean to make it a portrayal of her love for scuba-diving, and she's going to be nude, staring up into the sky, like she did in the movie before she was shot! I truly want to make her look like she's reached a new life or door of existence in it! It'll be a challenge, but I'm really excited!

I love the bit where she is just floating there staring at the sky. I look forward to seeing your image :>

This looks pretty cool. I like the whole, 'Coming out of the water' idea, trying to wash away your troubles. And I also like the little effects of the water dripping off her hair.

Marto In reply to Kinie [2006-12-07 02:48:17 +0000 UTC]
Thank you. I really enjoyed making this one. Not only, but I have a similar love for water like she does ( You hear about it in the film ), so I knew exactly how to trasfer the slow drip of the water that I find so calming, from my mind to the page.

Hehe, now now, simmer down m'dear, considering I cannot abide to a thought of Motoko, and a beauty such as yourself partaking in forbidden acts of pleasure!
Of course you know I'm only kidding! Thanks a ton. I really liked the way the body looked too. It wasn't perfect, but instead, natural. Perfection : Not only impossible, but overrated!
And I'm also working on the contest entry!
