To Die Again by @sam_raptorinae (Sam Raptorinae)
This is Shada, my alter ego. This probably is the picture I've put the most effort into, which is saying alot mind you. This is the first picture I ever drew of her, and colored it on PSP7. It took me about an hour. In coloring this I realized that I'm pretty handy with the mouse. ;D
Excellent character design--her outfit is detailed without being overly complex, and the pose and spooky expression really shows a lot of what this character must be like! The coloring is quite well done, but it's a bit blurry. Try to keep your coloring soft but your lineart sharp--try using layers, if you have a program that supports them, to make sure hte outline always stays on top. I am really interested in the background, it looks very cool, especially with the writing down the side--almost like kana or somethign that says something, but nothing. So you did this all with a mouse? Great job! Consider me officially impressed.
