Wow, this is stunning. The light (especially coming in through the window) is just beautiful.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (That light just about killed me, and I still hate it. XD)

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Simply lovely! I keep scrolling up to stare at how you drew her hair, it's gorgeous! And the background, niiiice

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

. . . wow. This is absolutely gorgeous work. I am in ridiculous envy of your background skills (the perspective! the framing!) and coloring (so subtle and pretty and wow hey streaming light). Nice work on the figure, too; good dramatic posing. ^^

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I do have to admit I traced the background from a photo I took at a temple in Japan this summer, and utilized Photoshop's perspective-adjustment thing to get the screen on that side wall right in the sketch. XD

[coell.livejournal.com]

Wow! Beautiful image! I'm impressed with how much effort you put into this -- I wish I could paint that well!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (The coloring stage was incredibly frustrating, and I nearly put the monitor through a wall a few times.)

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Wow. I just sat and stared at this for like a minute. Wow.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

THank you! :)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's so beautiful!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[the-z.livejournal.com]

Love the movement. Love the atmosphere!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! XD (And why I didn't peg the Spike/Julia one as yours, I'll never know - it's obviously your style now that I look at it again. XD)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

OMG!!!!

Wow. This is simply amazing although that really does not do it justice at all.
This picture really captures what I like about Hinata. Your artwork is beautiful from the background to the shading and everything else. I think what I love most about it is that its traditional rather than digital art.

I'm so grateful that you did this piece for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it! :D I looked at your list of stuff, and although I've actually been wanting to do a Gin/Rangiku pic for a while, I also feel the world has a need for more kickass!Hinata, since all the fanart seems to be of her as embarrassed and shy, or vapidly pretty in a yukata for a festival. Nobody seems to want to do her as a ninja.

Re: media. Well, it's both traditional and digital. XD I first did it as pencil on watercolor paper (http://www.magatsu.net/pic/Hinata-Pencil.jpg), then scanned it and colored over the pencils using Painter's watercolor tool, in Yet Another Attempt [TM] to get it to replicate real-world watercolors.* I didn't get quite what I as looking for, but it's good nevertheless.

Although, as per usual, what I prefer of all the versions is the original sketch (http://www.magatsu.net/pic/Hinata-linework-early.jpg). XD



* This would probably be easier if I actually knew how to do real-world watercolors.

There is nothing I could say that hasn't been said already. :D Fantastic.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

Oh, guh! The streaming light! The movement and the poise! Lovely!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

Very pretty! I like the dynamic pose, the delicate colours, and the use of light.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. This is just breathtaking -- I love the way you've flooded it with sunlight, but it's not a particularly *comforting* sunlight, and adds to the tenseness and readiness for battle. Lovely!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That light drove me nuts. XD

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

GOD this is just so full of amazing. I love the watercolour look to it, and the lighting that's so pale and morning-like. I love the background, it's so crisp and clean and I so badly want to live in this world. And Hinata is gorgeous! Her grace and sense of movement, her outfit and the swoop of her hair and just. The lighting through the panels of the home! !!!!

<3333

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D That light coming through the panels drove me nuts, and I ended up just stopping at the point it's at. XD

[sheepfairy.livejournal.com]

Hinata is just gorgeous in this! I love the sense of motion, and the background is just stunning. The light streaming in is beautiful, and the use of watercolors is fantastic.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

OMG, wow! This looks like it could come from a professional illustrator's book. Love the watercolors, and your command of line and backgrounds.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (although I admit I traced the background from a photo I took at a temple in Japan this summer. XD)

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is beautiful! <3

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

This Hinata is, in a phrase, freakin' AWESOME. Love the colouring, too!
