EDIT 080405: WIP #2 uploaded.
A WIP shot of the ARIA character I'm currently working on - Athena Glory. Don't know when this one will be finished, maybe it'll never be "finished". I think I'll keep tweaking and updating this one over time as I learn new drawing techniques. Just like the Akari drawing, this one's done freehand too using a gridded reference picture. Since the ref picture was quite low-rez and it was impossible to get any facial details from it I had to improvise her face - first attempt ever at drawing a face from scratch  Not sure it looks 100% like Athena though  Don't look too closely  . There are some flaws that need to be fixed but it's comming along quite nicely I think.Tools used: PS CS3 + Wacom Intous 3 tablet © 2008, ncMaothVez This deviation has been watermarked ARIA Characters are © Kozue Amano |

I guess my only advice is to work at a much higer rez than the rez of the final picture. For example, my work copy is 4 times as big as this posted one. That way any shaky or uneven lines will look much smoother on the final picture. A pen tablet helps alot too

Indeed, too little Athena art out there and LOTS of Akari and others.
(About 1/3 of the pic is still missing and all the coloring remains. Not sure when it'll be done.)
