Description

aw, I wasted my entire yesterday working on this... for 'cuz she likes Umi! X3

Heavily referenced, from some crystals CLAMP drew and this: [link]

Well, uhm, wow. I waned to draw her for so long and I finally did it. I'd put it in Mixed Media but since dA is evil and won't let us categorize the pics we put in mixed media, I can't... ;_; I used mostly markers, smudged white ink for the glowy stuff and used it for the dots (which I did way too many of and I hate them now), and watercolors for the BG. Afterwards my hands made me look like I murdered a smurf... XD my fingers were all blue!

The crystals were so hard... I went out and bought 2 new copics (which I havent used in a while) to do them! Umi's outfit was hard too! So much gold and stuff!

Well, i think this is so far my best attempt at traditional medias. I scanned it and adjusted everything and touched it up to make it look cooler. ^^ My dad said that it looked really cold and he wanted to put on a sweatshirt when he saw it. ^^ yay, my art has emotion! XDDDD The point of this one isn't necessarily a fanart, but well, about the atual art and the work I put into it because I sorta like it. XDDD yay! Comments and faves much appreciated, I worked much harder on this than I did on Hikaru!

Materials Used: Sepia Micron 05, watercolor brush markers, Copics, white ink, watercolor (for the blue BG)
Time Taken: whoa. About 2 hours tops.

Umi Ryuuzaki/Magic Knight Rayearth (c) CLAMP.

I used to have her in that outfit for a desktop background. Then I got a new computer and it was all wrong for that. *pouts*

Anyway, critique time. You nailed the sword perfectly. Body parts in regards to arms and hands are really well done. The only thing I'd suggest watching is the face. It's not quite matching up, like it's a little distorted.

Colors on this, I simply can't ooh over enough! You did a fantastic job coloring and shading this. You made her hair the perfect shade of blue.

Awesome job all the way around. Makes me want to dig out my DVDs and enjoy!
