Description The original lineart is here: [link]

GAWD, THIS TOOK FOREVER!!! I'M FINALLY DONE!!! I DONT EVEN KNOW IF THIS BELONGS IN ANIME OR NOT BECAUSE ITS A FAIRY AND I COULD PUT IT IN FANTASY AND I HATE THAT I MADE THE WINGS RAINBOWED AND I USED THE TECHNIQUE THING ON THE WINGS AND THE BG IS CRAPPY BECAUSE I SUCK AT PAINTING WITH WATERCOLOR AND... AND... <~~~EDIT: Okay, I know that because I stuck this in my description, EVERYONE thinks I painted this... well, I DIDN'T PAINT THIS. Only the BACKGROUND was painted. The rest is all marker. Just scroll down and look at the "Materials Used" thing and stop telling me how good at watercolors I am!!! D:

lol, I'm done.

Euh. What to say about this one. Hmmm... Once again I was completely stumped on the colors. I was inspired by =luciole , =Crysenna and =augest while doing this. ^^ I did a lot of new things such as using the white ink productively, make rainbows, and adjust gamma correctly. ^^ I spent 2 days coloring it and I kept getting bored with it... XD I like the turnout.. sorta. Only I hate the BG. ;_; well, since I can't think of anythng else, enjoy!

MATERIALS USED: Micron 08 black inking pen, watercolor brush markers, watercolors, white calligraphy ink, patience, priase, criticism... and PSP X for editing.

TIME TAKEN: Over 2 hours. And over a span of 2 days.Meh. That's pretty long for me.

EDIT: lol, here's what it looked like without the BG, watermarked to death: [link] It was for when I asked people what color it should be. The majority said magenta... but then someone said green and I was already finished. Now I'm kicking myself in the arse because green would look SO MUCH BETTER... and I can't go mack and fix it now...

EDIT-EDIT: Holy crud! This picture was chosen as a $Hand Picked Best on MangaRevolution!!! I thought I'd never get one! Only the awesome artists do! Thank you, MR!!!

EDIT-EDIT-EDIT: Yo!!! Check out =senbo-sama 's awesome coloring job for the lineart!!! [link] <~~~Beautiful CG'ing!!! Take a look, everyone!

Very nice job.

I like it. The hair is awesome, her look is very nice and the colors blend well.
The wings look like an inflatable toy for the beach-don't get insulted, that's just something I noticed. ^__^

Mew-Sumomo In reply to Aniwolf [2006-10-06 21:12:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! XD Yeah, I noticed that too, because of the way I highlighted it. It looked a bit 3D-ish to me after I finished it.

What I love most about this picture are the rainbow wings.

They seem to make it more colorful, and fit perfectly since it is called "Graceful Rain"

Rain would be much more enjoyable if it were full of fairies like her

I love the colour.

I got all excited when I saw and was about to ask how you did it. I thought you coloured it with something digital. You did an excellent job for water colours, they are hard to manage.
I use it rarley and they end up looking like this: [link] or [link]
