Description
It's finally done! (I think)My biggest and greatest pic yet! Too bad it's fan art though.
It's Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for DS.
One of my now favorite characters. The 'Corpus'-glyph is my own design.
I've been actively working on this one for almost 2 weeks I think. I can't remember when I started exactly.
Due to a pretty old computer, this massive pic has been seriously slowing down everything. This just makes me want a new computer more than ever. But I don't regret starting this work.

EDIT: I took my time to remove that small tower seen at the bottom.
It was unnessecary and a bit distracting. It sorta broke a nice, symmetric ballance. For my computer that took longer than it sounds like.

I got really confused when I missed this "------ signature ----" thing and started to wonder what you were talking about.

Ahh, the winged glyph, I spammed that like crazy in the large cavern. Good times

Indeed. Staying on ground for more than a few seconds would equal instant death.

I sometimes spam healing items while using Dominus Agony.

That doesn't seem very healthy. Or all too practical in battle.

Works wonders in boss rush though.

I know what's weird about the legs! They're both bent! Fans like legs which the one is bent and the other one straight.
Anyway, everything else is great!

Aha, that might be one reason.
Thanks!

Personally, I LOVED this game.
This does it much justice.

Thanx!
I love the game more than SOTN.

then there's Judgment. That's pretty sweet too.

That game was an instant reject due to the character design for me. The music is great though.

Know that. I just made a glyph 'Corpus'.
Donno what it would do, it's not associated with the wings.
Althought, it could be seen that way.

"Took several days which ended up in a couple of weeks." Huh?
π: 0 β©: 1
Stray days. From start to finish it took lotsa weeks.

You worked on it for 336 hrs?

Nice that you gave it a meaningful comment as well...

Ain't you happy that you got one at all?

yes awesome! please do more for shanoa and those awesome wings of hers!

Hmmm... Don't know why but it has always bugged me that Shanoa's wings are black and glow purple. (Generally used to show that something is 'Anti-glowing', that is glowing with darkness)

Not that logical but still very cool.

I meant that it bugged me since it would fit better for a villainess, if someone just reads a description of her and her powers:
*Has no emotions or memories
*Can use glyphs, among those are three that channel the power of Dracula.
*Can summon black wings that glow with darkness/Glow purple (Depending on how you interpet the color)
If you think about it, all it would take would be one mess up and Shanoa could have easily been a villain(ess) protagonist.

Ser proffsigt ut! FΓ€rglΓ€ggningen och kompositionen Γ€r mycket bra (Γ€ven om tornet pΓ₯ nederkanten kΓ€nns ΓΆverflΓΆdig). Anatomin kunde kanske ha varit nΓ₯got vassare. Bra jobbat.

Tackar! ^^
Aja, man kan visst aldrig gΓΆra allting perfekt.

Med mer trΓ€ning sΓ₯, kanske.

Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is a beautiful, and tomboylike heroine.

Of course, that's why she swiftly turned into one of my favorites. She's badass.

The legs seem a bit thick and the left one looks kind of limbless, but I really like this picture. <3
π: 0 β©: 1
Limbless? Might be due to the strange reflection.
But thanks anyway.

Maybe I expressed myself the wrong way but the left leg looks a bit.. bent and it doesn't look like she has bones in it. :v
π: 0 β©: 1
Bent... perhaps so...
Boneless... I'd say it's due to lighting.

Best work so far, by far.
More or less perfect in coloration.
Legs seem to be in a bit of a wierd position, perhaps a bit short, and not slender enough, but that is a minor gripe.
In all, it has a great air about it, and this is what I meant when I said that you can do better when you try harder.

Thanks! Alot of effort, more than usual is put into it.
I'm glad that most of it turned out right.
