OMG this is gorgeous, <333

Great job, :D

amayasuki August 21 2009, 23:50:09 UTC

I'm glad you think so, thanks! 8)

lasksfbhf this is beautiful! ♥ I love bright/radiant colours you used ♥

you managed to do a great job even without a tablet I can never do that and the somewhat poor quality of the picture, your amazing XD

amayasuki August 21 2009, 23:52:58 UTC

Yay! :D The colours don't burn?
Whoo tablet-less... I think I'm just so used to using the mouse. >< You can only work with what you have, right?

Watching that little animation of what you re-drew is so amusing (and I'm awed by it). I wish I could do that.

It is all warm colours but I feel like it suits the panel. xD You ARE indeed talented, and I love it. It looks gorgeous. <3 I love the hair and how the entire background flows with it. All the curves makes it really nice. Love the background as always, they never cease to amaze me. Love the shading, especially on the skirt. Amazing clean up job as always from Arina's crazy scans <3

The only critique I have is the tear duct which looks odd but I can't explain why it does. xD;; It looks too... clean? lol I don't make sense. Also the highlight at the top of her head, it makes sense but maybe too glowy? xD I don't know.

amayasuki August 21 2009, 23:57:55 UTC

Haha well I always had some fun making gifs, so I thought I'd incorporate it somehow. >.>

Huzzah, I made the right choice! .o. I'm glad it worked out, and the background was fun to make /nerd. Took a while, but hey.

LOL yes the tears bug me. I wasn't going to add them at first, but omission would've been the same as changing the emotion from the original scan (which very obviously shows her emo-tearing). So :\

Wow omfg i love the picture o_o you color so well that my jaw will fall *rubbs eyes* It's really gorgeous And even more impressive that you use a mouse!

amayasuki August 22 2009, 00:00:16 UTC

It's a GORGEOUS scan. &hearts I love Arina's artwork.

Thanks for the compliment! When you're limited with technology and skill, you're kinda forced to work with what you have x_x but I'm glad it turned out well.

So do i, for some reason i am very very fond of Shinshi Doumei Cross above the other works from her but wow, i think you managed quite well to pull this one out, it captivates my attention the warm colours and the way you did the shadings *claps hands* sugoi for real <3 !
I was quite surprised to see that you didn't use a tablet, for real, it's like wow freaking butt load of patience you have there!

amayasuki August 22 2009, 00:14:15 UTC

Same here! It's by far my favourite from her. There's just something about it. I didn't really like the end, but it was just more captivating for me, if that even makes a drop of sense...

I have to admit, there's something oddly relaxing/stress-relieving about colouring between lines and shading lol. Ahoy, back to kindergarten! Then you near completion and go "agghhh 'dafjkl;awu something's not right..." and the relaxation ends there if you're a perfectionist. xD

This is fantastic! I wish I knew how to do this type of thing. You're really talented!

amayasuki August 29 2009, 13:10:48 UTC

I'm glad you like it thanks! There are tutorials out there that can teach you to manga colour, but I can't say for sure which one is best because I never used any. You can always try them out. :)
