A while ago... Maybe a couple years, I'm not sure anymore... I had a weird dream. And the only thing I could remember of it was this image of Roll floating above a city in a little black dress. Why? I MAY have been playing Megaman at the time. I'm not sure. Whatever the reason... I jotted down the idea and only within the last year... Began working on it in earnest. I believe this is my first complete CG that is 100% digital from start to finish. Sure there was sketching on paper but none of it was scanned or physically used in the final image. It was ALL done with our new tablet. ^^ However, I did not create the picture completely on my own. I, of course, not having the best fashion sense in the world didn't really know how to dress her. And I've been wanting to do a picture with Amy for a long, long time. The dress's design is her's and I thank her greatly for her help. ^^However... I'm still not satisfied with it. Or rather... I'm satisfied with this version... But I want to make a couple more. Basically, this stems from me spending half an hour playing with the filters in Photoshop. I found some really neat effects I liked but they covered up all the work I just did... Though some of them make the background look ALMOST photographic! XD
Well... Roll took maybe about a couple weeks... One week going over the dress with my friend and drawing the initial line art and another coloring it. The background... God... That took ... A while... Probably about a month or two in just drawing each building with the line tool in Photoshop... And then coloring the background, lighting effects, and... Yeah.. Took a good couple of months--or three... I don't remember anymore... Thanks, though! ^^
I like this variation more than the rest of them, for some reason or another. I think it's due to the clearer, yet crisper background and the increased dynamics of the skyline. Gorgeous work overall, excellent detail!
Eh, everything taks time and the ilk. Just keep updating the gallery and keep on drawing for further improvement. Either hits will eventually come and you'll be pleased or the people who keep on looking will be happy and your skills will improve as well. Whether the former or the latter, any positive change is magnificent.
Besides, you can't let page views get you down. It'll get out there soon enough. ;D
