i really like this!
i like that u used a more distinct and origional technique than just plain manga(like i do-__-)

i like the color combinations too;is that the actual colors from the Ekuryua character?

=Imperius-Rex Feb 15, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Yes, these are the actual colors used in the novels/tv series.
I honestly found it very hard to adapt the design to my art style. See, though I may draw an anime or manga character from time to time, my artwork falls distinctively under comics. Actually, manga did have a profound influence on my earlier artwork and it did a lot to teach me some of techniques I apply today.

For a comparison, here is a screenshot from one of the animated adaptations.

The character herself comes from the series Banner of the Stars, it's an animated adaptation of a group of science fiction novels by the same name. If you are interested in the series, it is definitely something I would recommend.

Thank you for the nice feedback!

!Wolfie-the-Wanderer Feb 15, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

That's cool.
And I think I might read or watch the series,but I don't have time to right now.
thanks for the info

It's not that long of a series on it's own, but it's part of a larger continuity which corresponds to the novels. You have the prequel, Crest of the Stars and then you have Banner of the Stars parts I, II, and III, with part IV entering production.

Overall it's an excellent series to get into

!Wolfie-the-Wanderer Feb 17, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

i might get into it later

from the picture u gave me the link too,it looks like as relatively old anime.Whrn did it come out?

=Imperius-Rex Feb 17, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

90s-present, it's an ongoing series.

!Wolfie-the-Wanderer Feb 18, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

oh cool
it looked old-style in the pic

=Imperius-Rex Feb 18, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Yeah, it is an older style. Here is a comparison between the anime series, the character shown is Lafiel:
Crest of the Stars(1999),
[link]
Banner of the Stars(2000),

Banner of the Stars II(2001),
[link]
Banner of the Stars III(2005),

Banner of the stars IV is in production.

I like your style, the nose is particularly cute. Her head is a little tall but I think the body proportions are good. The colors are really nice as well, soft, but still eye catching and vibrant. The clothing design is really nice too, the folds are well done. All in all this is a pretty sketch, keep up the nice work. <3
