Description I know I'm not the fastest artist, being someone with a full-time office job and filial obligations as a firstborn... (Yeah, those kind of things matter in this part of the world). But hey, I'm trying my hardest to keep my artistic dreams alive!

This is currently one of the best fruits of my perseverance (the chinese new year holiday also helps tons!).

Devil Spica's concept comes from my little brother, . She was meant as something of a villain in the story he's working on.

According to Perse, Devil Spica carries four arms, all with Celtic names; a sword, a spear, a stone, and a cauldron. I draw the stone as a group of flame-encasing crystals because I think it would be cooler. I also turned the cauldron into a vase because cauldrons would look plain stupid.

The sword and the spear took some time to design. I tried to applied the wavy blade of a kris (more commonly called "keris" here), the traditional Javanese dagger. I like the result, esp. the An Claidheamh Soluis sword. Perse said, the crystals give it the appearance of a time-elemental sword.

Since the weapons have Celtic names, I tried to give her some Celtic knot tattoos too. The armor/dress isn't so Celtic, though. Soul Calibur influences again... sigh.

OK, hope you enjoyed it. Now I need a break, and some new games, and a cup of hot chocolate, and some new Happy Tree Friends episodes...

Perse, on to the mall!!!

That's really encouraging. I felt that I still have plenty of work to do. Got to learn more on making backgrounds.

Oh yes.....backgrounds....>.< They can be a hassle. The main thing to keep in mind when doing backgrounds, is that if your character is detailed, use a simple background. If your character is simple, use a detailed background. >.> I some times draw my characters huge so they take up most of the page, so I don't have much to do for the background. XD

By the Air that is Her breath,
By the Fire of Her spirit
And the Waters of Her womb,
The Circle is cast..."

*Cough* Extra info

Spica in her devil-triggered state. She wields 4 devil arms: An Claidheamh Soluis (the sword), An Coire Ansic (the vase), An Luisne (the spear), and An Lia Fail (the diamond). The names were taken from 'The 4 Treasures' that exist in Celtic myths.

Ah.. the wait was worth it...


Hey, wait for me, I'm going too to the mall!
