Artist's Comments

An original character of mine that I have been developing for quite a long time now since last year. I have to say I like her a lot now; I had a perfect personality for her when I originally designed her, but the design idea just didn't fit. To be entirely honest, it was rubbish. But I think I've perfected it now.

[boring character background blurb]
Geist is a bounty hunter from a story I've been planning but haven't written anything for yet. Yes, she has horns and "scales". Yes, she has two rapier-type blades and yes they are attached to a unit on the back of her suit with glowing wires in red and blue respectively. Yes, her suit is over-complex and ever-changing :D She has very practical hair now, and a mask which she's not wearing in this image.
[end of boring character background]

What I AM very pelased with is the speed with which I've managed to turn out another not-rubbish piece of art. If only I can keep this up! I definitely learned a lot since the remake drawing of Oracle ([link]). The best thing about this image is the fact that I did it all on one layer - something I started experimenting with during Oracle but didn't master since I ended up with 17 layers for that image XD. However I think it gives a really nice 'look' to the painting and I'm definitely going to do more of it in the future. Less is more!

wow, I like this. she looks very cyber punk, and her face and hair are really interesting especially the idea of scales. I mean you see elf ears and fangs on practically everything, that of cat ears. But scales is something different.

I occasionally work in 1 layer but thats mostly because I'm lazy, but you are right it does create a nice effect. My favourite part of this peice are her eyes, their very necromancer, and that little dragon thing thats sticking out of something on her back.

cool

I absolutely love this. I love the profile shot of her face, I love the texture of her skin (BLAAAH can't do skin!), the details on her sword, the post of her hand, her hair, the way her horns tease through her hair. I love it. What an amazing post. DAMN YOU this is the sort of thing I want to do! I love this character, she seems awesome. :) I just love the overall elegance of this image. ^_^ Lovely! :D

Haha, well - this is the kind of thing I wanted to do back when I didn't have the skill to do it ;D
Her design really was rubbish to begin with, I'm so glad that I managed to resolve her look in my mind. I'm sure I'll post more of her in the future :)

Oooh... tatsy! Another painting in a style completely alien to mine. But it looks great... no lines again. I'm not sure how to pull that off meself, but it clearly works (especially on the sword handle).
Also, you should get a special medal for one layer bravery. Maybe the Emperor could pin it on you personally. Or PM Koizumi, with Forever Love playing in the background.

Oh, and I managed to drink my key back in the end. Curse you!
