Description Aya Shameimaru from Touhou Project game series.

Finally the proper name for the picture, not the bloody digital index.

I love this picture. I actually enjoy it more with a zoomed out view with all the scenery in view as opposed to more zoomed in on Aya and her....*ahem* details.

I love how the rainbow arcs over the whitewater foam from the waterfall and there are little falling water droplets causing ripples in the puddles on the ground

In a way it's a nice deviation from an art community which has a little too much illustrated T&A in it already.

Not that anything is WRONG with that, I just think this particular picture is perfectly fine the way it is.

I could almost see this set-up being used in a tame Touhou Romance Manga. (Ha, THERE'S an oxymoron for ya!)

Thanks a lot, young lady. Such a high marks are the highest reward and greatest stimulus to go on working.

Yes, there are kilotons of T&A pictures here. That's why I'm trying to dilute them with some scenery drawings.

Aya was the last thing I noticed in this picture, I even saw the rainbow first .-.

Well this really good, Aya looks quite nice even without the details.

Thanks a lot.
I think it wasn't wise to draw extra details. It might reduce everyone's morale (or something like that, don't know how to explain it properly (^_^)> ).

I mean there are too many 'too detailed' pictures. Nobody needs another one.

Another great work. The whole scenery was beauitful and the addition of rainbow and the clothes were good details to put in. Now excuse me *puts face in contact of the screen* Aya... I can almost see her

U-Joe In reply to ShadowFrost1 [2013-01-29 13:05:57 +0000 UTC]

Very glad that you like it.
Thanks Lord I don't know human anatomy well. In that case I drew Aya closer and more detailed, and you, guys, would never see the rainbow and the foam. ^__^

Lovely thick brushwork you've retained. Impressionistic, almost? Love the colours too - the rainbow really augments the sepia tone.

Mind, the line between the background waterfall bed / river she's in, and the midground puddles seems a little blurred, unless I'm reading the perspective cues all wrong. I couldn't tell where the former ended and the latter began.

U-Joe In reply to Zucreelo [2013-01-12 19:55:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I didn't defined the goal to draw like impressionists of the past, I just was too lazy to switch between the brushes. ^^'

Understood. Maybe it would be wise to add more sharpness and details on the Aya and around her - on the puddles and the foam around. On the other hand, I was afraid of losing the 'sense of movement'. Plenty of details could easily ruin it.

I would OD from the beauty if I had a closer look at her.

U-Joe In reply to WarFalcon [2013-01-11 07:02:11 +0000 UTC]

That's why I didn't add much details to her - to prevent such incidents. :3

Ah well, still good nonetheless. I still remember dreaming about her REPEATEDLY at one point.
