Icerra Meibi, Badass Adorable

With such a cute face, how can Miomai not feel deep guilt and regret at cutting off her fingers?

And for that matter, not laugh hysterically when she's acting tough?

Nice picture, and its a good thing your helmet has ear holes. Though strategically placed horns could double as ear protectors. That does not work well for hearing, however.

the game model has her ears sticking out right behind the horns. I like it.

i've got a good idea for a portrait of Miomai, but it's not appropriate to attempt it with micro$oft paint.

took the hand drawn portrait and turned it into line work using illustrator. next step will be to color it in. i don't have a tablet nor a fancy painting program, so i'll see what i can accomplish with a mouse and photoshop. don't hold yer breath.

I'm excited to see what it looks like anyway! I've been tossing around the idea of getting one of those nifty computer drawing pad doo-dads (my techie lingo is AMAZING), but dang they're expensive. Still, eventually I think it would be a fun thing to toy with.

thanks mari 

they're called tablets, and yes, expensive and fun. Although I've heard Ebay or Amazon is the way to go. Dannae has some good advice as to what to get.

update

zoom in

those textures took me all day. still a work in progress. taking suggestions for a background, so that she's not just emerging out of a black void, however symbolic that may be. I'm leaning towards the DR, but anywhere dark and gloomy really.

I didn't zoom in...

then I did... and I wasn't disappointed. Very impressive. Simple but effective.

I really liked the pen sketch you made of her (a few posts ago), the blackness around her has a sort of dynamism. Perhaps something like that? I actually like her as she is. However, I am sure you will do her justice and I look forward to seeing what you'll do.

thanks Mogweh

I really doubt my ability to replicate that look in photoshop, but I'll experiment with a few things, maybe make a few alternate versions. I'm having a ton of fun with it, and that's all that matters, really.

Update

if there are no objections, I think I'm done with this one.
