Description
Whoo more fanart! This time it's Juri Arisugawa from the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena.Aside from being an awesome character, my main inspiration for drawing this is that I find the way they draw her hair in the show to be super ugly. Seriously, curly hair can be so pretty. But no, they drew it so it looked awful most of the time.
I also took some liberties with the color of her pants. I am not a believer in the salmon-pink and orange color combination.
I'm sorry I cheeped out on her sword. I'm a horrible person.
BUT ANYWAY. Awesome show. Awesome character. I re-watched most of it when I should have been job-hunting.
Drawn and Inked by hand, colored in Photoshop.

Yeah, I remember her hair was straighter in one episode, and all I could think was "Juri, you willingly curl your hair like that?

So beautiful! They really do always make her hair look stupidly ugly, when it can be so pretty!
I seriously love this picture. You give her this great elegance, and she manages to look both lovely and delicate, and super strong and sexy. Definitely captured her character!

You did a great job with the hair! The whole picture also has a really good sense of movement, with the rose petals, hair and her pose.
My friend loves the Utena series, I'll have to show her this next time I see her.
