Description 5 days out of my life just because of that devilish picture #________#. I have one favour to you guys. Concentrate on her HAIR , not on her anatomy, ok xD? I know I made a lot of mistakes again (actually that makes me more and more depressed with every new picture of mine .)
I decided to make a little break from my traditional media and that was my mistake - I didn't expect myself to get so obsessed with shading of hair o__O. I have just discovered I love making detailed shading on hair. I'm sometimes scaried of myself !_!
Anyway, the design of Mizuki's outfit is inspired by <_<.. ekhm... Morning Musume's videoclip to their song "The Manpower". It's all my sister's fault since she came back from her studies and as usual was watching MM all the time. But the true is I like those clothes very much and I couldn't resist to draw something like that..
The bg's reference is some photo of ancient Greek buildings.
Everything, except the lineart, was made with Adobe Photoshop CS.

Please don't eat me too much because of the mistakes, oki :_

Mizuki (c) me
Hope you will like it @_@

Don't be too hard on yourself! It looks gorgeous and the background is a really nice touch. No one will notice these "mistakes" but yourself.

I see no mistakes! D: Instead, I see an obsession with beautiful detail (thank you!!) and perhaps one of the better shading jobs that I've seen in a long time. I'm incredibly pleased that you took so long on the hair here. It's obvious that you put loads of work in, and it stands out. But there had to have been work put in for the rest of it, too. The hair only emphasizes what I see as a gorgeous piece.

Your use of colours and blending brings the girl to life, and even though you're worried about the anatomy, you shouldn't be! In fact, it would be nice to see people worry less about the anatomy and more about the actual detail and beauty of the piece itself. The whole world is full of variety, and thus, so should the worlds we create with our art.

Overall, this is absolutely wonderful, and definitely deserves a favourite. I'll be traipsing through your gallery later, so watch out! ^.~

Thats a stunning image, I love the use of different colours and the way you made everything look so smooth. Her eyes show a deeper meaning to me, like something happened in that world thats behind her.
Her hair is wonderful, I love the rich colour

Zakochałam się w tym arcie od pierwszego wejrzenia! *0* Jest po prostu prześliczny!!! <3 Dziewczyna wygląda przeuroczo, strój ma śliczny, włoski genialne, a skrzydełka, kwiatek we włosach i reszta szczególików wymiatają!! <3
Ale współczuję ci że tyle to robiłaś! ;3; Ja już od dawna nie robię tak pracochłonnych artów... O_O;; (Może powinnam znów zacząc - efekt powalający po prostu.

Thank you very much for such nice words. I'm glad to hear the effort I put in this pic wasn't worthless ^_^=
I'm using Wacom tablet because it's very sensitive to pressure and allows more detailed shading. I think it's still possible with a mouse but definitely takes more time.
