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 :P 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

Hey, thanks! :hug: Nah, I'm not good enough yet to teach anyone. :) It still takes me ages to do something like this.

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 :).

Great stuff, always good to see good Athena art out there :D

Thanks mate! Thanks for the visit.

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.)
