Description Rita Mordio from Tales of Vesperia.

MAN this took ages. (And by ages I think around 2-3 hours...?) Studying makes you want to abuse your tablet pen by scratching it up and down the tablet.
I'm trying to work on drawing lines without making it super sketchy (because as I have learnt, if you do that on real paper then try painting over it in water colour, the lines are superbly obvious) and I intended to draw an apple but instead I decided to draw Rita.
Relation? They're both red, I guess. And I also figured I haven't drawn Rita in a while, and Judith was too difficult to attempt at that point in time where my head was swarming with trigonometric functions.
The spell thingums and the aer particles were kind of an afterthought. Before that it was just the gradienty background (SPAM THE WATER TOOL, BAYBEE) which I thought was really boring. Then I tried scribbing the fonic alphabet (which I have mostly forgotten) and was about to panic when I discovered that SAI has numerous brushes like the liney one which I used in the end. (Please tell me I didn't screw it up in the end. ><)

And btw, this isn't really Crimson Flare. I just decided that "Fireball" wasn't big enough for this deviation, neither was "Eruption", and the only other fire related arte I remember is Crimson Flare. (Meteor Storm isn't actually a fire one. It's non-elemental...)

PaintTool SAI, and a tablet.

This is awesome! I really love the colours, possibly because red is my favourite, but that aside, it looks great. Good work!

You're very welcome! ^^

Um... to be honest, I am kind of torn... I think it's Yuri (I even called my cat Yuri haha!) but I love Duke and Raven too! But yeah, Rita is very cool and I do like her. I find her hard to fight with though, at least when it's not a spamming of tidal wave! lol She is hilarious though and and I love it when she hits Karol.

Yuri is really way too awesome not to be liked. ^^
Rita's kinda hard to play as in Hard mode because all the enemies target you and stop the spell casting. X_X

lol I'd have to agree there! Not to mention the tiniest bit hot... ^^

Ah, yeah, although once you're past level 150 it's not so much of a problem. LOL Gotta love the grade shop.

Never bothered training up to that point. O_O I used the grade shop to get the 2X EXP but only managed to reach about level 120 before I got reeeeally bored.

Ohh, yeah it can get a little tedious... I farmed for grade at the end of my.... second play-through... I think. Got 10x exp and then went in the EX Dungeon where exp is massive anyway. I'm a little obsessive though. lol If I can get the full 1000g on a game, even more so if it's an rpg, I just have to keep going. Not to mention Vesperia is so awesome! Haha! ^^

That long sash thing is a talisman? Or a scroll or something? I like those stuff.
