*flops over*

How do some of you color this way? My goodness! So I decided to try the "color over the sketch" method and this is how it turned out. I got lazy on the background (mainly because I need serious landscape practice sessions), but Kaidou (the character) came out pretty damn good in my opinion. This is for a spread in my book thingy for my class' final assignment.

This is the "putting the character in his/her environment" page. <3;; So Kaidou is sitting on these really tall poles (I was going to have him sitting on a pagoda shishi dog statue thing, but I couldn't get the actual building to come out right, so I put him on poles) that are way too high for someone to be sitting comfortably/safely on them. =D;;; The wind must be wonderful at that elevation, though.

Enjoy~~~!

Kaidou, Art © Melissa S.

Edit - I changed the file. D: The DA watermark was bothering me a bit too much so I added my own.

Miracles happen, but they don't show in the shape of celestial fire; so, they're easy to miss. To perceive them, you have to know how much strength you possess. Then, whenever you use strength that isn't your own, you'll know it's a miracle.

I really like this! the blurry background just makes the character come into focus so much more and draws your attention. awesome
