Description Entry for 's contest. I managed to put this one off for...4 months(?) Deadline is today. HAHAHAHAHAHA...*sigh* Probably not going to win, but it gave me a reason to do some original stuff again.

decided to go a bit simpler with this one: a single step of shading, minimal shine and a couple of effects.

That seal from your icon makes me wonder....

Thanks. I used to design a lot of school uniforms when i first started out(dont know what happened), so this was a lot of fun to work on and a bit of a return to form.

I'm working at making more expressive gestures though. I can pretty much only do it in comic form

I like the clothes you've decided to put on her//

Those deep colours really suit that gradient background. Minimal shine is a good idea for your art, it wouldn't make it too 'flashy' or bright too look at, I like it more calmer, anyhoo it's nice! Hope you win and wish you all the very best luck hehe

Casas In reply to xaturdays [2012-12-02 16:01:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I like this too sometimes. I guess i get caught up in trying to make it look more detailed and never know when to stop.

I like the colouring on this one. And the outline is interesting as well.

Casas In reply to SirFerrick [2012-12-02 03:25:13 +0000 UTC]

Well, I like to have that outline. It's one of my trademarks or something. I just don't like the idea of my subjects conspiring with the background

I havn't noticed it before. You certainely have it in some of your pictures, yes.

Casas In reply to Hi-no-kuni [2012-12-02 03:30:29 +0000 UTC]

Fffff~ I was tying to find some awesome color scheme ideas for this and I didn't even think of the persona series. I guess it's not too late, but that would involve work.

I wish I had a portable system capable of playing such games; I would play the stuffing out of them

Casas In reply to Hi-no-kuni [2012-12-03 18:52:49 +0000 UTC]

That's okay. I have too much stuff as it is and it would be bad if i didn't play it as much as i thought.

In all honesty, your lineart is very smooth and clear.

I think my favorite thing about this picture is the way her hair color fades out towards the tips of her twintails. It's a very nice touch to a wonderful artwork.

Casas In reply to MystShadow20xx [2012-12-02 16:00:37 +0000 UTC]

It took a while to get it to do that. It wasn't that hard, but i forgot how to without using a straight gradient.
