Description Then the girl appeared above me.
She had almond eyes and caramel-color hair braided over one shoulder. She was... fifteen? Sixteen? It was hard to tell. She had one of those faces that just seemed timeless. [...]
""Who?" I croaked.
"Shhh, brave one," she said. "Rest and heal. No harm will come to you here. I am Calypso."
- Percy Jackson: The Battle of The Labyrinth, p.207

This is supposed to be when Percy wakes up on the edge of the water right after Calypso has rescued him. When I read this description of her from The Battle of The Labyrinth, I itched to draw her (Rick Riordan's descriptions are always very effective at getting my creative juices flowing), and so finally here it is. I tried to do a glowy effect and I'm not entirely sure I succeeded the way I wanted to, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. (:

I suck at clothing designs though hahaha. I can usually get a general gist, but as soon as it gets to details, my brain stops there xD

For some reason this part of the book made me feel the worst, poor Calypso, eternally punished for something that really wasn't her fault.

This is pretty! I love her hair (especially the shading on it), and the leaves in the background look great too.
Her face is good. Her eyes are really pretty but her irises look like they should be a bit more circular.
I think the shadows on her right shoulder shouldn't form such a straight line. Her clothes aren't skin-tight so the shading on her clothes should be a bit different from the shading on her skin.
The colors in this are really good too. I like how it looks like she's glowing a bit. :3

Raeistic In reply to GoEnzoGo [2013-06-20 05:51:27 +0000 UTC]

I'm so glad you like her hair because the shading took me like three tries to get right lmfao.
Oh her irises aren't very circular, are they? I suppose that's what I get for trying to do them by hand haha xD And you're totally right about the clothes shading. Ugh, and I had that fixed in an earlier iteration, too, and then I just forgot to add it back in, what with all the changing and reshading. Oh well, I'll fix it, shouldn't take much.
But thank you very much
