Stringing Blue Chordsby ~nikiera

Digital Art / Vector / Fantasy

Art and OC©Nott Vandegaurde belong to Gretshelle Rivera. Art thieves will be dealt with severely when caught.

Lately very frustrated and unhappy with my art and art process.
Depressed and kind of empty with what I'm doing.

Nott is an Amrafir™*, thief of highly valuable data, part-time rave dj at her uncle's warehouse, enjoys wearing odd disguises, ears can become as hard as stone, muscular and pudgy, loves latex, loves loose clothing, overly informal when with her friends or family* members. Is addicted to adrenaline filled activities (rooftop jumping from skyscrapers, playing video games where players who lose their life in the game die in reality as well). Video game junky.

But she can't play guitar. :l She has no talent with traditional instruments such as violins- other than her voice.
So this would actually sound really bad, but I wanted to draw a badly drawn guitar with her.

*Amrafir™- is an alien race. Creatures that are humanoid in one form which often have the signature will o' wisp tails with/without mammal or reptilian features, then in the alien form can be a mixture of mostly feline and reptilian features. Extremely weak to cold weather and water. Fire breathing beings.

*family- nott is adopted by her uncle who is a black stork, and her foster father, Illumina©, a Sporadic©.

i like the exaggerated perspective, worked out well. nice and DYNAMIC. i also love how you did her haiirrrr

~nikiera Apr 27, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Thanks, I feel I could have exaggerated it a little more. Like FLCL exaggerates the fuck out of a lot of their scenes with the guitar or battle scenes.

Dynamic is nice, thanks <3
I could have done a little bit better if I took a little more time on the sketch. The hand on left is fatter and connects oddly with her arm, but it would require some recoloring and sketching since I did the layers oddly around that area. Next time I'll be more careful.

Thanks, her hair was about the last thing I did, simple.
A little air brush here and there then lasso+ delete the shapes out. :>

FLCL would make great reference for stuff like this, good call.

have you tried using the pen tool instead of the lasso? gives you a bit more freedom, though the lasso is a lot looser.

~nikiera Apr 30, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Mostly the lasso, pen tool is a pain. I suppose i could try practicing with it.

~rejecttemptation Apr 30, 2012 Digital Artist

it makes you pickier, and your workflow will be a lot slower thats for sure. since ive really figured out how to use it im sooooo slow because i tweak every little curve.

~MitsukoOtsuki Apr 24, 2012

Ah but this looks so cool! I especially love the colors.

~nikiera Apr 27, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Thank you! <3

...She can make her ears harder or softer? Its original, but i can't really see a particularly large amount of use for it...

~nikiera Apr 23, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Defensive use.
She can't aim worth a shit so she's a close range fighter. Those ears come quite in handy when lacking a weapon herself- those ears can deflect like any good ol' shield.

:> I don't give characters useless qualities.

Bahaahaha, That is classic.
