Artist's Comments

This originally started as a random sketch... that once I finally got that close-up hand right, began to consume my life. The sketch was too small to ink with my normal pens, so I broke out the digital ink. Erasing ink is so handy!

Anyway, fought with the colors for a little while... but I'm glad with how it turned out. I tried some new stuff here and there stylistically--her features are a little more pronounced, I did a field of focus thing, and I did some new stuff with her lips. I decided that for each character in Shishin, I wanted to exaggerate one feature more than anyone else. I decided for her, it was going to be her lips.

The point of the picture is to capture her character... what do you think she might be like?


EDIT: HOLY SHITE! I leave for Spring Break and come back to a DD? WHEEE! Thank you all SO much!!!! *goes off and jumps for joy*

Sexy and intense. Not the kind of girl you want to be messing with. But if you get in on her good side...

I really like the slight blur on the very close and very far things.
