Pepper Melancholyby ~ProjectVirtue

Manga & Anime / Digital Media / Paintings

Sorry I haven't really updated in a while, things have been kind of messy for me lately, but that shouldn't be a valid excuse ><

Anyways, this is a piece for the PepperProject hosted by Stanley Lau (Artgerm) of his beautiful character Pepper.
I thoroughly enjoyed doing this piece. It was the most fun I've had in ages to be honest. I really like how the headphones came out, and if you saw a side by side comparison with the sketch, there were huge alterations that I had to do.

Just as well, I optimized this for an 11x14 print at a 300 DPI resolution (which bogged down my computer so bad T.T) so it is available for purchase. Just send me a note on DA or add me on MSN and we can discuss the delivery/payment method just as well as price, it'll probably only be for 10$ or so...but i duno how the postal works and if they charge anything =\.

Enjoy the picture =]
Wish me luck,
Luca

ps: Please tell me if you like my new semi realism style and i'll stick to it. I hope to improve on it as i continue, but i wont go fully realistic either, i like the anime-esque look xD

*gasp* I just noticed, you coloured in the whites of her eyes

Wonderful picture. I think you did a great job with the colouring and details... and the headphones are perfect! ^^ On another note, I do think this "semi-realism" style is something you should think of sticking with, because I think you're really good at it, and this picture shows the potential

hehe, thank ye very much

my current WIP will blow this one away xD
*sigh* i'm kinda frustrated at myself that i couldn't produce anything for half a year but hopefully
my next one will make up for the time.
yay, i'll be sticking to it then

The next one is a Tad more realistic? but it retains enough of the anime
esque look. i'll prolly lean towards anime a bit more again on the one after

offtopic - i see you're also a calgarian

which HS do you go to =0

~JoanneLuk Oct 12, 2008

Haha, well I'm looking forward to it then since you say it's that great

But yeah, it's totally fine that you haven't submitted anything for half a year... just means the next one will be that much better. Quality over quantity! ><
Yeah, I like either style, so I'll prob like w/e you use, lol.
