Artist's Comments

This was more practice on painting skin, and I definitely think I'm getting much better at it. n_n

(this is the completed version of a work-in-progress I posted a while ago - you can still see it in my scraps).

Anyway, this is Oracle, she normally has eyes the same colour as her hair, but I thought the contrast with the turquoise was more striking.

The cityscape in the background is a modified stock image ( [link] ) from :iconoibyrd-stock:

Total time: A fair while. I'm still getting used to digital painting, so it's more time consuming than when I do cel shading.

Sketched by hand, scanned and painted in photoshop 7 and painter 7.

Art and character design is copywrite to me (Jigokuko), unauthorised re-use without my expressed written consent is prohibited.

YAY! :icongrinclub: I've missed your artwork, and this is such a wonderful, wonderful picture! She is sooooo gorgeous, it's amazing! It just makes me happy to see you post new pictures! Don't be so long next time, I was getting worried! :icondesudesuplz:
:iconmoomanibe:
Nice! She seems a bit... overly.. well endowed... ^^; but it's a really nice drawing :D

I think I'd have preferred the eyes how you originally envisioned them...

then again, Elfen Lied made me a sucker forred hair and eyes so what do I know ><

Anyway, really spiffy piece of work, I can sense some iminent *pop* moments forthcoming from that little outfit :D and while the armband is a nice touch, I kinda feel it's the weakest point of the piece. (not that I can produce anything even half as good as this, I just have a hippocriticaly critical streak a mile wide)

Also that highlight on the right shoulder seems a little odd since it appears that the hair would shield it from any of the direct lights.

Still very pretty o' course, but if you go through life never seeing the flaws in what you do you'll never have the urge to strive for better.... at least, that's what I keep telling myself >>

I always liked slave bangles, but I never had the guts to wear one. XD
