Artist's Comments

Hi all, this is the first image I've done for the new character in my as-yet-unreleased series 'Rage & Fury', I'm thinking her name might be Yuri, but I might change it. Let me know what you think as I have time to make adjustments to her. Does she look somewhat engaging? She's a human who practices chaos magic and uses it to trap our two shinigami Rage and Fury in the physical world for her own purposes.

Anyway, this was actually a double hit as I did this for the cover of Sussex Uni's student magazine to go with my article on contempoary Japanese pop culture.

Please note that as I did this on A3 and had to have it shrunk at the copy shop for scanning, the colours fucked up and it looks weird. The original is a lot less contrasty. I'm going to have it done properly for the cover to preserve the colour as best I can.

I'm really proud of this one as I didn't use any references at all, I did it all using a mirror (no, I don't look like that in real life). I'm still thinking of adding directional shading to the floor and maybe photoshopping out the bottle... it's a bit...distracting I think.

I think this is great!! The flowers are so detailed and pretty and those shoelaces loo soo realistic! I think that directional shading would be a great bonus, and I like the bottle for some reason =3

Wowza! That looks amazing. Great composition/angle and all of that. How do you color so shiney-like? It looks gorgeous ^^ The detail in background flowers is amazingness. ^^ The pose/foreshortinging is amazing (And I LOVE her shoes) She looks pretty badass. Great work o.o I'm very impressed :D <3

Thanks Minkx! Let's see, the colour comes out shinyish because I use gradiating colours. Eg. I used two skintones plus leaving white on her skin, makes it all lightey-brightey :)

*hugs Neopikos* The guy in the shop was a bit of a dick (no paper - my ass was there no paper), but I'm glad I got my new pens!
