Submitted for: Sonia
Character: Cerulean.
I started the new year of 2005 with this picture of Sonia's Cerulean. I only had a black and white picture to reference this character, so it gave me some liberty with colours.
I took it a little too far. Green hair? Blue decoration at the top of his staff and then red,yellow and silver armour and clothing? It all clashes horribly. If I did this submission again as a remake, I'd make the staff decoration glow red. I'd also choose a hair colour that suited the era better. I can't really remember if green hair was specified or I thought it would look cool. My guess is the latter, I remember making up all the colours for this one.
Once again we see the malnourished forearms continue to plague my subs, the hidden hand is typical of this time and hints strongly that I had difficulty drawing them. The hand that is showing look ugly and consists entirely of index fingers. The armour is okay, but looks like it has dulled but shines at the same time.
The staff is wonky and uneven, looks like it was crafted by a drunk sculptor after his latest bender. If I bought a staff like that, I'd demand a refund.
I don't know why the cape has pink stripes, or why it looks stiff and sturdier than the metal armour. The armour is also half- Dragonball type mishmash.
This is a horrible submission! The only part I like about it is the blue light affects the skin tone on his face, 4 and a half years before I would find the technique difficult to apply to one of my new pictures!
Sonia no longer participates in MAX.
