Submitted for: Dotchan
Character: Nakaruru.
I don't know what to say. Firstly, this submission has to be one of the finest examples of not sticking true to a character, the clothes that I chose to draw her in are not exactly in this characters wardrobe, neither is an example of her showing midriff, but there it is.
About the only thing that is actually IN context here is she is drawn super Saiyan, which Dotchan had done.
Shading is too intense and colours chosen awful. The shading on her skin looks like sunburn while shading on her top looks like sweat patches. Highlighting on the top is too intense and it ends up looking like plastic.
The pants have no discernible detail in them, she is missing any hint of hands (there would still be some visible sign even if she had her arms folded.) and the belt is rushed and unfinished.
The biggest "what was I thinking?" moment is the midriff, which the character doesn't have in ANY of Dot's original work. OK, I couldn't draw Saiyan armour at the time but still...
This picture is being remade truer to the original character's clothing choices.
Dotchan still participates in each round of MAX and Nakaruru is still a character that can be drawn for the exchange, although her name has since changed to Nataku.
