That'll definitely get it done.
Usually when it's stuff I commission, the writing will be done off the bat. Jokerisdaking has a different taste in series, and even if I am familiar with the character I'm usually familiar with the work they originate in passing or a somewhat casual level (Kikyo was a lucky shot). Refreshing that information isn't exactly going to Wikipedia and jump starting "teh knowledge", chances are I'm going to come up with the appropriate setting, certain key terms and even other characters to use besides the victim. Or would you rather me tell the story of how it got there in a few sentences?
Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly understandable seeing how you've been waiting for some time.
It's just that I'll be damned if I pull a Dan Brown [link] on Macross. ^_^;
I've delayed one piece for almost a month to study a bit more, not to mention the purpose of my gallery was to show off my own creations or spin on my favorite game franchises, anime or just cartoons I knew in passing. Admittedly, I spend more time coloring which isn't so bad but I don't like being credited for as the artist.
I NEVER expected the "Girl Mask" stuff to get its own little specific fanbase as it does in the gallery today or (Shoxxe's for that matter, being the source for about 90% of them as of this posting date) and it's always a joy to color them.
However, as the artists we commission to do these pieces get swamped with other things due to higher demand/exposure combined with the fact that the subject matter isn't EXACTLY the most common shared one out there. Then it's all the more agreeable for a shorter timeframe of the next "Girl Mask" piece. In particular the time between this piece and the next isn't exactly going be preconceived as a matter of days. That being said, simply being the colorist isn't enough.
I too would like to see more "Girl Mask" art, since half the fun was being surprised by the results. That feeling is lost on me personally when I'm drawing it myself, but at least others can get that thrill.
That and stories, I always feel the art should be justified by a story.
I feel like I'm a on a roll though, but for now I am working on two drawings.
I'm not going to post the recoloring of Yuna on my page but I'll be glad to let you use it.
Nice afterburners.
Her suit's trim are green? (or is it to match the Mask? XD)
Oh, and I stole your credits line, if you don't mind (and no, I don't wait for you to post to do that!
Funny thing about the afterburners, is that I almost lost my nerve on coloring them until I found it was better the use the Smudge tool to blend the smoke and fire some...come to think of it I did make a comment about it being in space, making the oversight that it'd be impossible for the vapor trail to show up in a vacuum ^_^; Silly me.
I used =IDarkShadowI's Misa Hayase piece [link] for a color reference, except for the eyes anyway. So, I got my trims from there.
