Originally, this was supposed to be a pic of Mistral. But her face ended up turning out different, so I started over. However, instead of tossing this one out entirely, I decided to try to draw myself as a Wavemaster, as I would appear in the world. (I went kinda crazy with the Pink marker, I know. Its supposed to be tinted pink or something, though, even tho I HATE pink, it goes the best with the colorscheme I chose..) The staff looks silly, but I dunno how to make the orb appear translucent or whatever. Bah, I tried. ^^ The pose is cute, at least. Generic peace sign. Her name, or rather, my nickname is written in Hiragana on the side: Little Butterfly is what it translates to.
I wanted to try for a matrix-y type background. That explains the background. -_-
.hack is copyright Bandai, of course. And Project Hack, and whoever else. ^^;
The colors are pretty good, but like you said- overboard with pink. Some more blue or purple would have balanced it out nicely. The coloring itself is very well done, and came out very clean, which is hard to do with just markers.
The background is alright, but it needs more spacing. That would have hit the matrix feel a little better.
The coloring is good. Proportions are pretty good, except that hand is kinda tiny.
The best of it is the subject. Despite being based on .hack//sign, it has originality and personality. It has a nice feel too.
I don't always make a long comment, just so you know- I just can see alot of effort was put into this, so, it deserves a solid comment and critique.
Oooh.. its not often I get a good critique like that. Thank you for typing it out! Usually people love my work, or hate it and mock it, but you were honest, and I really appreciate that.
The pink was overboard.. then again I thought it'd be a good idea because other Wavemaster's (like Mistral's) costumes seem to be tinted sorta.. hers was tinted sorta blue... so I tried to tint mine with a pink. Unfortunately, my prisma Pink was too... pink. ^_^;
The background I didn't know how to alter very well, because it was done using PSP7 and that was the only one resembling letters it had. I dunno how to make more spaces.
The hand... was either gonna be too big or too small.. I didn't know how to draw it, so I made it smaller to be on the safe side. ^^; Hehe. Not too good with hands. ^^;
Anyway.. thanks again for commenting!

Oooh, I like this because it really shows how you're coming along in just a short time. n_n *wipes away a proud tear* Anyhow, I especially like the expression and the shading, which I'm hopeless at, and with markers, too, which goes double!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
