Description "Again?Didn't you learn anything from the stomping we gave you in Mintaka?Please,step aside."
Milliarde,The Cloud Passage-Baten Kaitos Origins

Baten Kaitos Origins ©Namco fanart<33 This girl,Milliarde,aka Milly,is probably one of my favorite game characters EVER OMG OMG OMG I love her so much>w< She is amazing,sympathetic,powerful and dangerous.She has personality.She is simply wonderful
Baten Kaitos Origins is,surely,THE BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED IN ALL MY LIFE (I loved both of them,because there had two,but the second is my favorite)And it's for the Nintendo Game Cube videogame-If you have it and you like RPG’s, DO PLAY THIS GAME(both of them,if possible).Believe me,you won't regret a bit.I can assure you that it's gorgeous because every person I know that played it fell in love with it-it's simply perfect.There's no game that can compare to it!!!!

For you that already know the game,I know that Milly is almost unrecognizablebut you know...I wanted to make something totally different of the fanart of her I see around I make something totally...Mine. I changed a lot her outfit(actually I don't like much hers,so I made something moar according to mah taste>.>;; ) and I wanted to make her look more according to the princess she is,but also wanted to keep her fighter spirit and a bit of the original design of her clothes so,at the same time she's wearing a crown and acting the grace and sweetness,she's holding her club which she uses to fight.I also tried to reproduce some parts of the background from the official art of the game
Hope you all like it,because it was HELL to finish this for real@w@

Tools used: HB,2B pencils,Pigment Ink 0.05 for lineart,Faber Castell and Mitsubishi Colorpencils,Faber Castell watercolor pencils +Photoshop CS2+ Credit:`hellobaby .

Time spent: 4+ months,50+ hours.Holy God,I cannot believe I finally has finished this As *Miss-Heart can remember very well, on the long-lost begin of December last year I make the sketch of this work and then showed her...Yes,Miss-san,I just finished this now,I'm soooo slow ...And maybe you can also remember it is very different...I re-made her on the process.I spent a while drawing that but I got to notice I'd have to remake it-and so I did.Well,looks quite better now I spent around 30 hours for sketching(20 the old version and 10 this current one,but I count both because I just changed some things from the first version to this one),around 12 for coloring and the rest for the PS part And hey ^rydi1689 ,this was the fanart I was making I told you about No,I didn't take 1 month more,it was less I finished this before expected,lol

You know,since I spent an insane ammount of time to finish this work,I noticed on the end how much I’ve got to improve myself during this time.And it was all thanks to you guys with your support,your love,your help,I am able to go further and improve more and more and be happy here I don’t know what I'd do without you all...Thank you so much.I love you <333333

Have a wonderful day!!!
And remember: Don't worry,be deviant!!!(©^rydi1689 )

Pretty! I especially love all the little details you put into her tiara and the swirly pattern on her shirt.

Milly is a delight, by the way, and I think we need more female characters like her in RPGs. And I wish more people knew about BKO :-D

Again, good job!

UMMHH <3
I see the hardwork and love you put in there.

I love how you put accessories and frames on the background not to make it empty, and I love the fact that you use a lot of colors, and that rainbow gradation in the upper part of the frame. There are wonderful details too in the beads and shirt... and the crown.
The part I am not sure is the butterfly wings. I haven't played this game before, so I am not sure if the butterfly wings are the part of the background frame, or the part of the girl's body.

Overall, I think this is awesome piece put in together.
And you're using manual tools too. That patience. Wonderful.

i'll try my best to do a critique, and be aware, I'm not at all better than you, just tellin what my eye sees

it's very colorful and harmonic in colorways
also coloring was done nicely, although you could do some more shadows here and there, like the arms and breasts, the lower part
keep in mind, that shadows often take the contrary color of the light [link]
somehow the anatomy seems a little tiny bit off to me, but good work with the pose of the arms
the hands could be a little bigger i think but not much
what i love are the folds in the pants, very good work there

hope that this was what you expected from a critique

VelCake In reply to Stichflamme [2010-04-21 17:54:22 +0000 UTC]

It's ok;critique is exactly this-tell me what I need to improve at! That's why I always put mah works for critique<3
Haha I agree with you,you're rightin fact, it's pretty hard for me to make shadows of these parts you mentioned,specially at skin I often believe I can ruin the work if making deep shadows here...lololol that's why all my girls look so pale
lol,true I spent AGES trying to fix her anatomy but I still fail at some points I'll try to get better next time
ooh the hands!I hate'em it's pretty hard for me to draw'em good,and even moar to make them with the right size
haha,thanks for your critique<3 that's exactly what I wanted:3 I'll do my best to improve moar and moar ever!
