Description
aw, I wasted my entire yesterday working on this... for 'cuz she likes Umi! X3Heavily referenced, from some crystals CLAMP drew and this: [link]
Well, uhm, wow. I waned to draw her for so long and I finally did it. I'd put it in Mixed Media but since dA is evil and won't let us categorize the pics we put in mixed media, I can't... ;_; I used mostly markers, smudged white ink for the glowy stuff and used it for the dots (which I did way too many of and I hate them now), and watercolors for the BG. Afterwards my hands made me look like I murdered a smurf... XD my fingers were all blue!
The crystals were so hard... I went out and bought 2 new copics (which I havent used in a while) to do them! Umi's outfit was hard too! So much gold and stuff!
Well, i think this is so far my best attempt at traditional medias. I scanned it and adjusted everything and touched it up to make it look cooler. ^^ My dad said that it looked really cold and he wanted to put on a sweatshirt when he saw it. ^^ yay, my art has emotion! XDDDD The point of this one isn't necessarily a fanart, but well, about the atual art and the work I put into it because I sorta like it. XDDD yay! Comments and faves much appreciated, I worked much harder on this than I did on Hikaru!
Materials Used: Sepia Micron 05, watercolor brush markers, Copics, white ink, watercolor (for the blue BG)
Time Taken: whoa. About 2 hours tops.
Umi Ryuuzaki/Magic Knight Rayearth (c) CLAMP.

I'm not too familiar with Magic Knight Rayearth, but I luckily know who this girl is, having seen the travesty of an OVA and owning the first book of the manga. The figure of Umi herself isn't technically astonishing (her right [our left] elbow and hand, for example), but my God, that colouring is possibly the most elaborate and beautiful I've seen outside of professional work. I especially love the way the colours blend; the blues on her outfit. Blue is my favourite colour and it warms (or should that be cools? your dad is right, it certainly is a very cold picture! ) my heart to see you've used them very effectively.
Even if it's for the colouring alone, .

Actually, the OVA wasn't bad at all. I've got both it and the series, as well as the manga. They've not brought the other OVA or the 'movie' here yet and I've yet to find them.
Be honest, most OVA don't reflect the original series much at all. The story for the MKR Ova was interesting, and I rather enjoyed it.

X3 that was pretty inspiring, thanks! X3
Yeah, i noticed the hand and the elbow thing... I still need to practice hands. Since CLAMP's proportion is a little nusto sometimes, I sort of srewed up the arms a bit.
Yay for blue pictures!! X3

I know what you mean. Have you read Tsubasa? I haven't got the newest volume but I've been keeping up. I noticed that they decided to bring in a strange anatomy feature in it; sometimes Syaoran's arms look like rubber bands. And Sakura's too. Other than that the art in it is gorgeous.
