Description
Sooo.During the comic colors it occured to me I need practice with faces. Lots. So I made lots, and again I experienced how badly I need that practice *shudder*
Anyway, it's all the guys (and the girl) from Section 9 (go buy the Stand Alone Complex DVDs if you haven't). If you care, you might see some different approaches in the painting style of the heads, not only color-wise.
Note that the final composition is not too perfect, I'm aware that not all lights and hues match up. I'm okay with that here. It's not a refined artwork in that sense.
(Yes, you are correct: I'm trying to find reasonings so I can be lazy and feel totally content with it!)
Also note that I had some fun trying to make teh major look somewhat more realistic. Huh. Reminds me of some actress. I think there was a photo of some celebrity chick, the one from that a-little-like-Blade-vampire-movie-thingy?
Maybe that one's stuck in my head.
I think I did pretty well, so far without reference. I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
Painter IX. Time taken? Ages. No clue here.

I really like the style! Β Its original but they're still recognizable, and it does the characters justice.

Yeah, I swear I've seen this face before, as well. I like it much better than the face Major has in the television series. It's toooooo.... anime-ish... for my taste. I dunno.
Can I go out on a limb and guess that you started with Togusa and ended with Chief Aramaki? I'm trying to pinpoint your learning curve.

Amazingly well done. I love the stylization and how you created a painterly effect using digital media. Wonderful

Like someone else already said, the major's face looks a little bit masculine, but only because of the stronger jaw structure. If you gave it more of a curve, it would probably read more feminine. Your faces are pretty good. Just work on facial expressions (the guy in the background scowling is nice) and eye placement.

the major looks a little masculine maybe if you shortened the face a bit and softened it a bit. but the other faces are awesome! Ghost in the shell Rocks!

Wow, I love how you managed to render them in such realistic art. While it is a bit rough work, I love it to bits, even the semi-simple background. Ah, lovely art, per usual.
