Description Rei overlooking one of the moons of Arelle.

Dude, the lineart you see here is exactly as it came out of my pen. I didn't even use the eraser a single time before I began attacking this sketch with colour. I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing.

Anyway, I only meant to do a speed paint for the BG, but as usual I over-refined EVERYTHING ΰ² _ΰ²  Still, it only took a couple hours to do, so I'd like to think I'm getting... somewhere? ;;

I just love how my vision are pulled into her glassy eyes...so hypnotizing~ *v* too bad I get distracted with the surreal imagery and feeling that the mountain ranges exudes~

Now if I could only let my eyeballs focus on two things at the same time...

IS THIS THE PICTURE YOU'RE USING IN YOUR JOURNAL? *Hit for pointing out the obvious, in question form*

Really think it's pretty, always nice to see pictures of Rei since she's awesome. And that's such a pretty frown, with soul-piercing eyes that make you feel bad for making her frown. once again, your background creating abilities own the rest of the universe's.

O WOW GRL U SO OBSERVANT

<3

Haha yes, that's the soul piercing gaze she directs at Miki right AFTER she finds the toaster mysteriously stuffed with salmon and burrito, and right BEFORE meting out punishment. |D

I don't blame her, salmon is apparently expensive. 8D

*gasps* How gorgeous!! Gah, does that background look fantastic. So gorgeous and realistic, especially on the clouds there. So fluffy. And those mountains I LOVE THEM!

As for this basically being the sketch that you colored over, no inking even done….OMGWHA!! :jaw drop: seriously if you hadn’t said that, I would’ve assumed it was inked already. Wow, it that amazing. Major skills there. My sketches come out HORRIBLE before they’re inked.

Kudos there.

Hmm let’s see her eyes, so bright and shiny. I love how you always manage to do eyes so bright and (for lack of a better word) sparkly. How do you do that?? lols.

And her purple hair is gorgeous as well. I love the sheen you added to it. Very lovely.

Anyway, so very glad you’re still sticking around here.

Lies, it's a photo D: I know it's a photo stop lying to me. Seriously, only small parts on the clouds look remotely like they were painted

Man, I lovelovelove her expression. She's peering into my soul. And she looks really good in (my favorite shade of) green.

Good work on the lines! I'm quite impressed; mine are NEVER that clean haha

Emmy this is my life without your comments [link] I had a feeling you'd approve that shirt, kekeke

Bsh plz it's so painted, I'll send you the PSD IRL, a terrain can't be so devoid of vegetation/loose rocks/etc but I didn't feel like painting that crap so I was just all "screw ya'll this is gonna be a planet with no vegetation or loose rocks. Ever. Aw yeah." It's hard out here bein sci fi |:

My lines can only be that smooth for uber simple poses like this and where I TRY really hard to be neat. If I don't try, or I start sketching a more complex pose, my hand goes all skdfsdhf and starts making a bunch of needless lines rofl.
