SOOOooooo...

yeah, heres a little back story to this one. i wanted to experiment with a different style in this fight. after spending alot of time looking through my past work, i realised that, compared to alot of the other duelers, i spend a good chunk of time packing in unneeded details, and excluding other crucial ones. among some of my concerns were a drastic difference in ability to draw women as opposed to men, repetitive facial structure, etc.

my biggest concern though, was that i had spent so much time pushing towards realism in environment and object details, yet quite obviously stylized the faces of characters. i cant really say its a bad thing, but it did push me to try and make things a bit more consistent, especially because the push to realism was really time consuming work. most of ya know that times not exactly plentiful for me.

DarkStampede's awesome stylized work, along with the above dillema, kinda encouraged me to push for further stylization (that and i utterly failed at translating migumi completely to realism anyways), rather than going for even more realism. and god damn is it easier to color. :)

aaanyways, enough of that. crits welcome and appreciated, but be gentle please. its my first time doin' this. ;)

Damn dude she's hot! I really like your version of her.....Might have to steal that outfit :D Im DEFINATLY diggin this style you've made. I poured through your older stuff and what caught me was you attention to detail and really really good facial expresions. Dude if you transfer that into this style you got it set man. My suggestion would be th throw in more solid blacks. Dude this is rockin im excited lol
