This is my homage to Tsukushi, Jennadelle, Mei-san, Pu-sama, Bara-chan, and Satougaki (and even Bengal, to a degree). I tried to do as much detail as I possibly freaking could. It's all on the same sheet of 8x10 paper, nothing cut and pasted in Photoshop as I sometimes need to do.
I'm always jealousy-struck by the abilities of the aforementioned artists, and I feel like everything I do falls short in several major ways. So I decided to work on something major. One way I feel I need improvement is developed detail. Another is backgrounds. This one doesn't have a full BG, but I did put all my effort into that one building. (I didn't want to highlight/shade it, or else it would complicate things.)
Sadly, the sketch started out as a not-so-perfect anime girl, which is why her face is crooked and her body is stiff, and is that a hat? If so, how teh f--- is it staying on her head? The wings look the same as in Gothic Rei, and she looks a little like Garnet. And I *STILL* cant get the hang of flowy, detailed hair (like the kind Mei-san does) so her hair literally looks like grass.
And I didn't color it fully because I tend to cover up my lines when I do that, and since I'm proud of my pencil work, I wanted to showcase it. Besides, I can't seem to get the hang of my tablet OR Painter 7. Anyone know of some good tutorials?
Enough rambling. Technical stuff.
.5mm pencil on 8x10 cardstock printer paper - 4 hours
CG with Photoshop 7 and mouse - 3 hours
knowing I finally put effort into something - priceless.
And don't try to find a meaning for the title. I just like the word discrepancy.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
