Feature 216--NNEMUINEKO

 

Little Rabbit with the Star

All three of these are adorable but just *look* at these rabbit ears this character has! And that the star she has on her finger is what's giving us the light makes it just so perfect.
I find myself really focusing on her hair because it's so free flowing. I also really enjoy how well the artist made the colors set perfectly in the hair as well. A very good work!

Beauty and Butterfly

Look at how many butterflies are hinted toward in this piece, this character has to be sitting in the exact right location for these to be all around like this. In this picture I keep noticing how well her eyes were painted, aren't they just perfect?
And can we take a moment to appreciate how well she is against the background? The sky was created super well and the butterflies/plants all around really seem to center her perfectly.

Black Lady

A corrupted, adult version of Chibiusa from the Sailor Moon anime is what this is. And like I've gone on about before, Nnemuineko has some amazing talent when it comes to color. What power is this character using? Whatever it is, it's really helping the character's suit to seem just that much more dangerous and a bit more threatening. The way this picture was designed makes it pretty fun to imagine what all she was capable of doing in that story!

One thing true about all three of these pieces is that they're really cute! Click here if you want to see more of Nnemuineko's gallery!

Feature 176--CrystalHanleyArt

Furry Commission

First, let me squeal about all that sparkle in that tone of background. I love how it was placed and how well Crystal balanced it against the character. Didn't she do such a lovely job in setting off the character with the white glow behind that gal?
Something my eyes haven't been able to come away from is just how very well she was able to paint the character's brown hair, too. Definitely looks like I could just run my hands through it all, with the character's permission, and everything would just fluff so very pretty. Loving this piece!

Tataru

There we are again with a lovely background to set the character against. This time, it really does help to bring Tataru forward and it really helps the eye focus, in my opinion.
The texture of the hat and feather and blouse also is so fun. Crystal did lovely in mimicking what the game shows with it all. And just look at how she did in painting Tataru's eyes! I personally adore them. What a fun piece to get to focus on for a little bit!

Sailor Neptune

Crystal mentions in her artist comments that she learned how to do eyes a bit differently for this piece. I can see it, it fits quite well on this chibi style. And it definitely looks like she enjoys Sailor Neptune with all the attention that this piece got.
I personally love how she managed to balance the shades of green on this piece without making them bleed into each other and losing focus or something of that like. It's not at all only the layers that Paint Tool Sai 2 has; she was able to see and show the proper shades in the skirt, wristbands, and hair. Lovely work!
