AKA thief girl.

During my trip to Spain in Nov 2007, Me and my boss talked over naming a few characters that we have not named yet, and she was one of them. at last we decided to name her Veronica.

This originated from a sketch i did a few months back, finally got the patience to finish it in full color CG.

you can see all the layers here

Honestly, I like it a lot; and the little work it does need is out done by the amazing detail in the rest of the pic.

Her outfit is a little... risque... for me, but I like the pose and expression. She's soooo cute!!! She reminds me of Rikku from FFX-2

the detail is stunning. Her face bothers me a lot though, it's so weird looking, the shape of her mouth especially, and her hands are kind of rubberglovey. But the details on her shorts and jewelry is very impressive

Not a bad job, but two things I noticed:

1) The biggest textures (skin, clothing, the sash) don't fit well together. She has video game skin and hair, realistic clothing, and the sash cloth is like something for anime, or at best a painting. They don't go together all that well, unfortunately.

2) The stomach is 2-D. While her limbs and face are rounded with by the light, there's not enough light contrast at her abs and waist. I'd suggest either more lightening around the three heart tattoo or making the edges fade a lot darker, but either way you need more contrast there or it looks too flat.

The jeans and sandals are fantastic, but her stomach comes off as being really flat since it's so close to being a solid color. I also love how you draw the underwear underneath even though you cover it up later XDDD

Nice! The clothings and the other stuff, that she is wearing are looking really plastic, but the body - especially the upper body - is awful flat and looks unfinished.

I like your use of colors and the shading is top-notch in most parts.
Her stomach does bother me however, as it is the only part of her body that is severely two-dimensional.

Repetition in design is always an important part in making a memorable character. That having been said, WAY, WAY too many hearts.

Also her complete lack of a ribcage is disturbing, but of course, nice clothing design (in general) as always!

Ohh it's pretty nice but her belly is weird. It lacks in shading, it looks like she's as thin as a sheet of paper there in my opinion..

The rest is as great as always! XD

AyaneShinobi In reply to ??? [2008-03-20 17:05:00 +0000 UTC]

I always love how unique your characters designs are & all that detail is just too awesome. And wow...how does she keep her top on. She must use really strong double-sided tape! :-p I love the shading of the skin. I notice that in some comments, people mention that's a problem area, but hey...stomach's are hard to shade in! Even with slight reference, I don't want to mess up my artwork if I happen to shade inncorrectly. But yeah...your designs rock. I'm surprised nobody has cosplayed them yet. If I had the extra time, I'd definitely want to make Kujaku's outfit. (I haven't had time to cosplay for almost a year.)

Yep. I used to do it a lot but I haven't done any cosplay since Anime Expo 2007 because I've been really busy with work & school. (Especially school since I am near the end...I graduate with an English degree this December.) Here is a link to my cosplay.com gallery: [link]

I got better as the years went by. I'm hoping to go to Fanime this year, but right now it's at a 50/50 chance of me going (since I'm not sure if I can pull it off). I'd really like to though!

So you wouldn't mind if I attempt to try to cosplay one of your designs?

Thanks! I shall attempt to make the Kujaku costume for Fanime & if I don't make it to the con, then it'll be for a home photoshoot. Her outfit looks challenging but I believe I can figure it all out. I'm always up for a challenge. (So far my hardest & most challening costume was my Xenosaga II Kos-Mos.)

I can give you more images if you want, like even bigger image files so you can see the details more. if you must know, another friend is thinking of cosplaying her, if you want to be unique....may be cosplay someone else? but i personally would love to see how you do it too

So a friend wants to make the costume as well? That's awesome. Ha ha, yeah, I still want to make it & thanks for offering to send me bigger image files! It would help a lot.
