Description
============================Requested by , his character, Lucie.
I did not design the Valkyrie armor. This wonderfully complicated design that I could never hope to truly replicate is used with permission from its creator, [link]
There are differences in the armor, most notably in the legs and feet, since I draw them differently to begin with. It’s also different because I am not ~Shabutaro , I am *WingedHippocampus
The sword is something I just threw in there on impulse. Most people seem to draw her with a bow and arrows.
Marker and acrylic paint.

Heh, I have no idea. Usually I only do requests from people I know (and therefore, I am familiar with their character's personalities and such). But Lucie is a real mystery to me, because I only met her creator a few days ago, and will probably never see him again after this, so...yeah.
He's all colored, I just have to do a background. ^_^ Sooooon. Tomorrow, probably.

Excellent job! I love your technique on the clouds, great to see a background. It really gives her a more free kind of feel. Moreover this is a great rendition of the armor from Shabutaro. I’m glad you kept the metal covering over her ears on the helmet. The colors look so striking in marker too, excellent job in capturing the original. I hope coloring the armor is becoming easier for you, it looks great! ^^

The clouds were an acrylics experiment, I'm glad you like them!
Kinda, but after my next one, which is Shadow, I'm not doing medieval-type armor again for a while, whew. @_@ Four in a row kinda wore me out.
The ear covers -are- kinna neat. ^ ^
Thank you!

Interesting. VERY interesting. I realize it's not yours, but I dig the Valkyrie armor. It's got this loving sort of complexity to it, an intricacy of design not dissimilar to the kind in my Request pic with Sonic and Sally's new wardrobes. Following the ins and outs of it is great fun.
I also love the Sword, which I take from your artist's comments IS your own design. Making a good and interesting sword design is not easy, but you've made one here. It feels special, very unique to this character; in anyone else's hands, it'd feel wrong.
I will admit, the head feels a bit...squished. I think the feathers are the problem, they don't leave enough room for the face. While that may be intrinsic to the character's initial design, it nonetheless poses a slight problem.
VERY slight, though. Count this as another from me. :3

Well, I've been studying blades lately for these pictures, so thanks for the kudos on the sword. ^ ^
Gah, I know, go see the original, it's even more complex, I just couldn't copy it swirl for swirl and line for line.
Thank you!

Well, the other times I realize how much practice it took you, and how I spent the practice time on writing instead, and I feel less jealous. *^_^*

Compared to Shabutaro's and yours, yours look more free and a has a happy emotion about it. :3
Awesome job!

^_^; thanks, but the colors and armor were pre-set. This is just my translation of it.
Thank you!

Thanks, I didn't think the shine turned out as well here as in some of the others, but... ^_^ The design credit, of course, is not mine.
Thanks so much!

Great pic.! you pulled off the 'shinny' look very well! ^^ and the background is really good too!
(I need to work on backgrounds myself, can't draw them to save my life)

Omnicenos In reply to toklankitsune [2009-01-31 02:27:52 +0000 UTC]
Neither could I, eight months ago. I've been forcing myself to do some kind of background, even if it's just a colorwash, on every picture.
