Description
It's Rachel from Advance Wars DS! That's right, actual Advance Wars fanart, which as far as I can tell is pretty rare. I don't know why, it's a popular enough series... Anyway, hopefully this Rachel picture will help fill the fanart void.For those who aren't familiar with the series, the missiles in the background are her Super CO Power, in which she calls in three missles from headquarters to deal some damage. Rachel normally seems like an easy-going girl, but when my friend suggested doing that crazy eye-glint assassin thing, it seemed like too good an idea to pass up, even if it didn't seem entirely in character.
Overall, Rachel wasn't much trouble to draw or color, but those missile exhaust clouds were a huge pain. Also, I initially had trouble deciding on a sky color, but when I realized that the picture had lots of white and red, adding blue was the clear choice, since Orange Star is basically the US of Wars World. Now people can't say I've never done a patriotic picture.
Inked lines, scanned and colored in Photoshop CS

She probably has a battlemap in front of her and marks her targets with pin-point accuracy.
...Now I'm reminded of that Advance Wars DS commercial.

Thanks a lot.
"Crivens" is a new word to me, though. I'll have to remember that one.

That's how you're supposed to say it? That makes it even cooler!

I heartily agreed. I actually have a central African accent when I bother to use it, so it's rather funny in my case.

I was looking around for AW fanart on a whim, and was totally unprepared for this, the greatest thing I have seen in months. Mad <3 for Rachel, especially like this.
Favorited. I commend you, sir.

Woohoo, a commendation! I think that's a first. Good to hear you like the picture, there's far too little Advance Wars fanart out there, and it makes the pictures worth it to hear some appreciation from series fans.

I think you win the prize for being the first person to notice. I figured she needed some sort of headset to call in a missile attack, and considering Advance Wars style, it had to be one of the older type big bulky ones. So, I based it off of some pictures I found through a Google search and Jake's headphones. He'd probably let her use them for official business. And if not, she'd take them!

I agree. That's EXACTLY what Rachel's like when you tick her off I'd think. XD
This is awesome overall. Character model, design, background, and I do so love the background and how it comes together with the rest of the piece. Definitely a fav. :3

Nice job on the missles, or should I say impending doom in the back. Rachel's not too bad until she uses those bad boys. When she does, it's just evil, hence the shiny evil eye fits pretty well. Well done.

Wow, I was just surfing for some Advance Wars fan art and I came across this. Ha, I got a good laugh out of this -- it's really nicely done and you've captured Rachel's Super CO Power perfectly!!

Again, amazing colors! And those clouds are just your style... I could pick them out anywhere! And that eye glint is pretty cool...

I really spent a lot of time trying to pick just the right colors to help give it the feeling of depth, and to give her a defined foreground that didn't seem too disconnected from the rest. I'm glad the effort paid off.
