This is a trade with =Edge-chan, and me trying to improve my vector work. D: I've been literally working on this over several weeks b/c I don't have much time to sit at the computer and do art.

It's her character Italo. I loved his kimono and color scheme and I like to draw flowers. :P The BG is supposed to be a stained glass window and I promise this is the last time I will do one.

No filters, just me, the pencil and brush tool, and some gradients.

Edit: :Thanks so much for the DD! I know the anatomy is off, I'm doing my best to improve. Thanks so much everyone for the comments and help!

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-09-10

italo by ^azarath is an absolutely gorgeous piece of art! The colors used are so beautiful together and the style of coloring and line work is so clean. The background is quite a unique one (I'm totally digging the transparency approach) and the colors in it fit the overall piece so well. (Suggested by ~Lyricanna and Featured by `Damaged927)

Since I don't know much about vectoring, I can't provide much in the way of critiquing, but I do really love this piece =3 The shading is just gorgeous and I love the rich colours. The background is very beautiful, as is the detail work on the charcter's clothing =)

Really, really nice piece. I love the colors, and that background is awesome! (go Art Nouveau!). There is so much to enjoy about this piece, and I can see the time really paid off!


Your vector skills are improving by leaps and bounds girl! :nod:
