Artist's Comments

Well, as the title says.

Main character from Ghost in the Shell. I only own a few DVDs of this anime from the Stand Alone Complex series so my knowledge of it is limited. However, what I have seen, I do enjoy and is probably my second favorite anime.

I always hate working with such dark colors. It ruins my line work and is difficult to include variety in the colors... which is why I tried making the background as colorful as possible (don't mind that lame inside view to the right).

So despite some sketchy-ness and whatever else, I'm really pleased with how this came out.

I like this piece. While not especially oozing creativity, it shows off your solid drawing and coloring style.

Beautiful as always. I'd say the highlights for me here have got to be the textures on the wall and her floofy hair. She also has a very appealing expression and those eyes do well to capture much of my attention.

As for the line art being ruined, I'm not really seeing where you're coming from there. Personally, I find them all to be very crisp and well done. I'm also fond of your ability to transition from black lines to another color that is respective to that area, it seems to give the illusion of lighting and when you couple it with your gel pen it really impresses me.

Sometime or another I plan on devoting a lot of effort into colored pencil artwork, and you can bet I'll be studying some of your own works on the finer aspects of the medium. Which brings me to a question. What is the difference between PrismaColor Premier colored pencils and just regular PrismaColor Pencils?? :\

Anyways, I know you don't really like it when I talk about the subject and not the image, but I've seen a bit of the early episodes of Ghost in the Shell on tv before I left for deployment, and I enjoyed what I saw, though I've also heard that it kinda dies off as the season progresses. Have you seen the actual movie that the animated series was based off of though? It's actually a pretty great movie and was very pioneering in the animation department at the time--very detailed in every regard though I feel the story could use some flushing out. There's also a second movie that I never saw too.
