I seriously love everything about this, what a great character design this is! I love the way you have shown the weight of her pose. I've always struggled with accurately portraying a character leaning agaisnt something, especially from a front-on angle, but i think you aced it here! Love her hair, and love her expression! Would love to see her drawn again some day~

Ahh thank you! This is probably the one piece I think I am most proud of so far this year - I hardly ever finish things like this omg.Β
The weight part was probably nine or ten references of women leaning against walls :'DΒ
you'll probably see her again! I like her too much to leave her alone, haha!

Aaaah! Omg yes, it's done! >v<
This is probably one of your best works Kay. Just the amount of attention and detail you put into everything, and how you blended all these colors
It has a really nice red/green hue going on, but it's so subtle. And the depth and her pose and the composition, this is just amazing!

It's done!! I really do think this is one of the best things I've done myself - it'll be a while before I manage to outdo this! I'm so proud of myself ;v; thank you Vee!! Melle will probably be making more appearances soon, so maybe I can test my artistic limits more often! XD

Thank you so much!! And ngl 90% of my inspiration from anything is because of Pinterest, because I am basic AF. I love it though, no shame! I have a whole board full of clothes that look fun to draw. I would recommend it!

AHHH KRITHI THIS IS AMAZING
I don't go through my inbox very often but when I do-- damn. everything is so good, from the brush textures to the graffiti aaaand how did you manage to make a Mr. Mime gijinka look good. Β

KIERA HI
OMG HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?? I haven't been active on Skype as much as I usually am. I think I only talk to like the same four people now OTL But yeah, how are you?
thank you so much!! I adored every bit of this project, right down to the 'Copycat' graffiti!Β
It's Journeri I swear. She challenged me and I, a self-respecting character designer, took the challenge. Somehow

Okami-Kiera In reply to KayVeeDee [2016-04-24 03:38:57 +0000 UTC]
NO IT'S OKAY I only use Skype for the same 3 people lol
But yeah, I'm good! Applied to transfer to Fine Arts at UT Austin actually, still in application purgatory but I would so love to be in Austin again. How is it there?? I know you're in Neuro, but the lively campus is a big reason I want to move.
And ah yes, it is fun to get out of your comfort zone and conquer challenges like that! So satisfying to draw something you've never done before (like the graffiti) and have it turn out well just because of general skill.Β

Whoooa. Nice picture, Kay!
PS - Totally enjoying the idea of Mr. Mime barrier trolling in combination with her shirt tho.

Thank you pink!! Also omg Melle would totally do that. She's actually a roller derby gang leader so chances are she uses barrier to cheat when the judges aren't looking...

this is amazing. your art is fantastic every single time, just damn.
i love how stylized your stuff is and how it still maintains to be entirely realistic and fluid if that makes any sense. this characters form is amazing! also, i don't think i've ever seen a mr.mime gijinka so that's neato

Thank you so much! This was so nice to read~ I definitely understand what you mean, so no worries. I think it's mostly because I really like the process of adding to a face? There's something really gratifying to me about creating an illusion of depth and lighting where there aren't any xDΒ
probabky bc mr mime is creepy af :'D
