I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS PIC IS A SPOILER FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS YET TO PLAY "The World Ends With You" FOR DS, SO IF YOU DON'T OWN IT AND PLAN ON PLAYING IT THEN STOP READING, THANKS.
Wow~ This took a while! I've been working on this whenever I had a spare moment for the past week or so. I finally got around to doing some "The World Ends With You" fanart, quite possibly one of the best titles for DS. If you don't own it, get it. It's so innovative, it's like a patent office in a game card.
...but wait... why am I even typing this? If you don't have it, then why are you reading this?!? It's not like a major spoiler, but still...
ANYWAY, overlooking the fact that I'm questioning myself, I really love the fresh graffitti-esque style of this game. The characters are shaded typical manga-cel style, but the outlines are jagged and swollen (think LoZ:MM), making more dynamic contrast. I took this and added some of my own shading elements, adding 2 different color backlights (orange and purple) that offset the cel shading with smooth lighting. I'm definately going to use this technique again~
Something that I'd like to point out is that I didn't use vectors for this! (Well, for the sidewalk lines I did, but I rasterized them into pixel layers.) I did most everything with the brush tool, returning to my roots. :]
I've experimented with pattern uses, especially in the walls and even the graffitti on those walls (TWEWY players will get the refrences), and check out my signature in the bottom right, lol.
Compositionally, the only problem I have is that the lighting is more or less inconsistent and there is an area of empty-ish space on the left, but these are my only qualms.
I had fun with this, more than usual. And I think it broke a satisfaction record for me even now, seeing as I actually like it at this current time! D:
About the Pic
THIS IS THE SPOILER PART!
This is Shiki's RG appearance, during Neku's partnership with ex-reaper Beat. I wanted to do a pic of her waiting for Neku's return like she said she would with Mr. Mew at the statue of Hachiko in RealGround Shibuya. I love the symbolism there and I think it's really sweet even if Neku is a little whiny bastard. >.>
Anyway, I think I captured her likeness well enough. She strikes me as an insecure and introspective sort of person, while at the same time in-tune with her social side. I don't think the latter is represented that well, but that's not the purpose of the pic.
And once again I've gone on a tangeant.
Fullview and critique please!

Originality Technique ImpactShiki...
From my point of view, she is much cuter than while she was in Eri's body.
How you portraid her, while she was waiting her friends and wondering how they will react to her own look is just... it's just so..
Meh F! F how you drew her feelings out. FABULOUS!
Her worried look, usage of colors, background they all are quite near to perfect but, wasn't they supposed to met at statue of Hachi? Meh, every artist has their point of view and that what makes 'em an artist so anyway, i respect your choice of meeting place.
It would be much more of a blast if you did drew this piece in TWEWY stype or course but, this is as good as what i need.
