Description Contest entry for the RaC-Fans /ForgottenRaCSpecies Unappreciated Character Contest. I drew Aphelion, of course! She's one of my very favorite characters in the franchise, even though lots of people don't consider her a real character. I liked her from the start in ToD, but the line that really did me in was in ACiT: "My weapons are still armed. I can make it look like an accident." After that I was done for. She was permanently my favorite.

I've drawn her once before , back in 2009. Even though I haven't drawn her again until now, she's still my favorite c:

Regrettably, there are hardly any references for her zonified form, so I had to take some creative liberties, but I did the best I could. This was also my first attempt with digital painting, which was kind of scary. I've never worked without lineart before, and of course, the first time I decide to try it, it's on a piece as big as this. What is wrong with me?

Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this! Even though it took me ages.

I don't even need to register a comment as an avid member of her fanclub, but I might as well anyway!

I've never tried lineless because it seems really difficult and tedious, but this looks great! Maybe I'll give it a go one of these days. I love the end product, I just don't know if I have the patience to actually work through it.

Haha, yeah, you're pretty much the founding member of the Aphelion fanclub!

The painting actually wasn't too difficult. It was mostly a split second decision because I didn't like how my lineart was turning out, lol. It was an interesting experiment though, and I'm glad I gave it a shot.

LOL I dunno if I'd be the founding member...maybe co-founder? ITman496 is definitely the founder.

I think actually blocking out the flats would be the hardest part for me. Sai isn't very good for that kind of thing cause the line too is pretty shaky and I'm terrible at doing things in one stroke haha.

Awesome! It's great to see other Aphelion fans And I agree, she definitely should've gotten more lines.
