Description

This is a 18 x 12 inch full figure drawing of my OC: Aya Kuramoto. This is basically an updated drawing of the one I did back in 2004 and after 9 years, I think it was time to draw a new one, plus I needed a colored full figure verison of Aya anyway. It's been awhile since I ever did any 18 x 12 drawings not snice 2008 and I've put a lot of work and hours into making this drawing look great. I've even ask for some help from two fellow artists, Tori001 and Hero-of-Awesome Many thanks for their feedback and art tips, it was very appreciate it. And please come check out thier galleries, both of them have great drawings. X3 

Now since the drawing itself was just too big to fit in my scanner, so I had to scan in sections and used Photoshop's photomerge function to put all together. Which looks pretty good I do say so myself, I think I'm going to used Photoshop from now on, when I need to upload a large drawing. ^^;

First off, yet again a very detailed and inspirational OC rendering. Good job on it <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="334" title="Nod"/>

Now, I went ahead and compared your work on this to two previous older ones of your OC, namely this: Aya Kuramoto (Rose Academy Ver) and this: Lightning Ninja. The following are my observations:
- scanning difference: This current work looks somewhat less saturated, the previous ones for example have a more vibrant hue of blue on her hair and clothes. I'm wondering if this is intentional and if so, is this closer to how you wish her colour palette to be?
- shading improvement: Especially when compared to the Lightning Ninja version, and especially evident on the skin shading.
- details: its especially less flat-looking now, more evident when compared to the Rose Academy version, especially around the gauntlets.

All in all, this is definitely an improvement from your previous work. As for suggestions, perhaps try to do more dynamic poses and show more object interaction with your OC and her weapons (since you also do make very good. detailed weapons designs) and I see that you've recently submitted background designs, it would be great to see a truly "finished" artpiece from you.
