Description I missed the last loading screen contest, so this time I made sure to enter. For the MMO I play, Megaten: Imagine Online. :3

I don't really care for the other prizes. I simply would be so excited to see my own art being used in the game. So wish me luck~

I entered a version without Kajis being dragged by the Garm: [link]

I think that Nekomata is biding her time 'til she jumps down and kicks some doggy butts. Kajis is likely going to be caught in the crossfire...

Garm/Shisaa/Nekomata designs from Shin Megami Tensei/Imagine
Kajis is my bf's character.

100% inked/colored on SAI.

Hee~ thank you very much! Your comments and critique are very appreciated! I guess the overall thing that seems to need work on is the grass...people keep mentioning it.

The nekomata was redrawn four times for this picture alone...I don't normally draw very big, so it's a surprise anything got cut off. She actually does have very nice hands (that can claw our faces off)

Thank you very much, I'll see what can be done about the grass.

Well I must say I really like this picture a whole lot! The prospective is really good and the characters are cute and different and poor Kaji!

The only thing I can see that could be change is the texture of the tree and grass. The tree is too smooth I think and should be ruff when you look at it it also might be a little too dark which is why i might be having an issue with it. The grass is another thing. I feel that is is too much of a flat color. When you look at grass there are all kinds of colors with in it. There will dark greens to bright yellows depending on the grass that you want to use. Also adding a little texture tot he grass would really make it pop! I see that you did add some texture but maybe a little more is in order for this.

Other then that you did a wonderful job on this! I love how the shadows of the tree really bring this all to life and how the characters are beautifully detailed! Good luck in the contest!

Why do I love this?
Why does she remind me of Derpy?
...
On second thought, I guess I now know the answer to my fist question.
Awesome art.

I use paint tool SAI. Tutorials: [link]

There are a ton of tuts all over DA. I haven't found anything I do to not have been made into a tutorial yet... so I don't think I need to make one. P:

Well, ya got to work with a program for awhile to begin to understand it. It took me a couple of weeks (maybe months?) to get used to SAI. My work looked like shiiiiit when I first started using it (there's some in the back of my gallery). But tutorials and just messing around got me used to the tools.

Now I'm trying to learn how to properly use Corel Painter. Now THAT is frustrating me... but I'm just learning a little at a time and asking people questions as I go along.

If you want to try SAI again, feel free to ask me anything you may want to know. I don't know close to everything about it yet, but I'll explain what I can.

It's always cool to meet new players. New or old~ I've been on for about 2 years and am only lvl 69 currently. Kajis had quit for a lil while, but now he's back and trying to close the 30 lvl gap between us.

And then some chibies of her are around.

SuperStar156 In reply to Rina-ran [2011-07-31 18:16:13 +0000 UTC]

ONLY level 69?! Haha xD well as far as I'm concerned I think that's pretty good. SMT is a very challenging game to pick up on. I was VERY lucky the first time I played to find someone kind and patient enough to teach me the ropes and even GIVE me some really good equipment to start me out. And he is still teaching me new stuff about the game every now and then haha. Well I wish Kajis the best of luck with catching up to you heehee.

I actually got online and was right in front of you, but wasn't 100% sure. So I came back to this comment to check, saw it was you, but when I went back to the game, I think you logged out.

So adorable! It's funny, I always think that Shiisaa and Garm would be two dog-type demons that would hang out. :3 With or without Kaji in the image, you have a lot of open space in the image, which is great. I love the speckled light too, a lot of the entries have pretty dark backgrounds and colors. Good luck, I hope you win!!!

Thank you! that gives me some confidence with any version I submit. If I could fix Kajis' feet, I would submit this version. But for now just demons and a glowy "Now loading" screen will do. x3

Thank you very much!

You are very welcome. ^^ I know how you feel with feet, particularly when they're wearing shoes. Feet themselves are a lot of practice, and shoes are just a whole new territory past that. x_x

Garm is going to drag him into all kinds of trouble~

I really don't like Shiisa's design so much, so I'm glad I somehow made him cute. It was tough.

And ha ha ha~ I'm so glad that Nekomata is looking so good. I redid this picture 4 times just to pose her right. XDD

Thank you very much. I really wish you and Joker won last time. I thought your entries were better than at least 4 of the ones that were selected. :<
