Shida
Shida by @migucast (Miguel Castaneda)

Heh. I bet you all remember this from the line art that's been sitting on Side 7 for a long time now. Well, I FINALLY got it ALL done. Of course... I wasn't able to come up with a background... Especially since I was never able to put in the horse... 6_9 And... I did the best I could with the... Uh... Unintended panty shot... ^^;;;;;;;;;; But... There just wasn't any more I could do with it. Sorry. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Where to begin...? First of all, I like the CGing you've done on Shida. It looks quite good! The color scheme works really well, in my opinion. The brown you chose as well as the somewhat orangeish-pink goes well together!

As far as the spear goes, I think that her hand should be positioned further down on the weapon, for better support and in preparation for a strike or something of the sort. Then again, I've never held anything like a spear, let alone on some sort of mount, so maybe I shouldn't talk! ^_~

Other things...good work on the hair! I like the way you handled her hairdo and all. Aside from all of that, though, the only other thing I can think of that was worthy of mention would be the impression of Shida's right foot on the saddle. Very nicely done!

Any chance you will add a mount and a background one day? Just wondering! The progression from the line art to the CG was just excellent!

Thanks! ^^

Well, don't give me TOO much credit for mere color selection... I just followed the colors she had in the OAV. ^^;;;

No, I don't plan to draw the Pegasus or a background... ^^;;; This sucker's as done as it's gonna get. :p

I like this one a lot. It would be better if you could include the horse--they're not THAT hard to draw, I know you could do a semblence of one here if you tried! The CG is really nice. A background is still needed, however. I like the angry expression and the fact that she is riding a horse--it's cool to see characters DOING things, other than my gallery :;twitch;: where they are all just standing around...

Yeah, that seems to be the way the popular demand is flowing... ^^;;; Everyone wants a background and the horse... Of course, there's a REASON I don't draw animals or furries... I can't... ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;; I know I should but... The angle and stuff's hard to reconcile with my limited knowledge of equine anatomy... I suppose... Maybe one of these days... I'll try and add the horse... But I can't promise anything. :p

Oh, don't beat your self up too badly... Most of my people just stand around too. :p It's rare for me to get them to DO stuff too. ^^

Wai, love the shinyness, sweetie, especially the spear tip! Great color job overall, too (despite that I'm looking at this with our pink monitor)--it gives a good sense of depth! Only thing that bugs me is those highlights in the shaded parts of her hair... ^^;;;;

I know it's been said already, but this would look even better with a horse! If you practice your animals, I'm sure they'll look great!

Thanks! ^^

All right, all right, already!!! I get the picture! [ADDS THE HORSE TO HIS INCREASINGLY LONG LIST OF PICTURES] Just don't expect it anytime before 5020. :p

Woohoo, Red! You're getting better all the time. It's wonderful to see you trying out new things, like action poses and...ahem clothes. Anyway, considering the comments you already have, I don't really have anything to add. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see your next CG! ^_^ (Rin, perhaps? Eh, eeeh? elbows)

Thanks! ^^

Yeah, I'm trying... But it'd be nice to see YOU try new things too, like... NUDITY! :P At least that mermaid in your sketch journal's a good start! ;)

I'm working as fast as I can... :p At least the main body line art for Rin's done. Now, I just have to DRESS her. :p ...And... Add the fungus... And a background... And color... and... It'll be a while. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;

But, thanks anyway for the comments! ^^
