i must go on standing.
i'm not my own; it's not my choice.
[ regina spektor - "apres moi" ]


amaya, certainly the worse for wear.. but not beaten. not by any means.

this song just gives me this image of a bone-deep persistence that remains regardless of how much of your own blood is shed; a relentless drive that ticks onward inexorably and pushes you ever forward in spite of insurmountable odds. it is the will to keep getting up, no matter how painful the fight.

so just focus on that and pretend that i know how to draw
1. human anatomy
2. swords
3. clothing
4. hair
5. anything
:iconotlplz:

YES Amaya art!!!! *hugs lineart* I may attempt to colour this soon, we'll see ^.^ (Depends on how much time I spend this weekend procrastinating my homework, plus the amount spent actually doing it :XD: That takes up a lot of time)

I love your mad sword-drawing skillz ;P

hehehe, i told you i was drawing her! ;P

and that would be awesome if you did color it. :heart:

lol, thanks. i still think i need to obtain a katana so i can see how the hilt is actually wrapped, and how the blade curves, and.. yeah. ^^;

Hey, you sass that hoopy ~alaisiaga? There's a frood who really knows where her towel is.

True, but you also said all of these things about writing and drawing before.... ;P (Continued guilt-tripping)

I still think you've done a pretty good job if you don't have a real katana to reference :) *thinks of the horror that would be her own attempt at a katana*

i really am working on it! i am simply slow..!
(and also addicted to runescape but that is not the issue here ;P)
not to mention at the moment i seriously have zombie flu. so any writing i tried would likely come out exceedingly stupid. which no one should be subjected to. :XD:

hehee, thanks. :3 i still ought to use more refs, though. my shortcomings feel painfully obvious whenever i try a more "serious" picture like this.. ^^;

Not the issue, eh? ;P

I have never heard of this "zombie flu". Does it cause some sort of delirium? =P (That would be FUN to read! I can be subjected to it if I want to be =P)

Stop being so hard on yourself, it looks awesome. *eyes own so-so linearts* Which reminds me; teach me your clothing-lineart ways, oh Masterful One *bows*

literal lol. the zombie flu causes zombiism. or something like that. the delirium only comes from cold medicine. :D and maaaybe i shall write some AU snarky-fluff-randomness. just to prove that it is not fun, it is, in fact, very disturbing. :XD:

and as for clothing.. hm, let's see. i find it helpful to draw bodies first (like, sketch in arms before you sketch in long sleeves), especially to get proportions and such right. and making the folds go in the direction gravity would pull the cloth, especially around where the cloth bends (like elbows or knees).. i'm really bad at explaining it, lol. there's an awesome fabric/clothing tutorial i love, but the link is on my other computer. as soon as i have access to it, i'll send it your way.

[link] seems pretty useful in the interim, though. :3

:XD: I shall be the judge of whether it is fun or disturbing =P

Thanks, I kind of understand that ;P *clicks* I'll take a look at that, and look forward to seeing said awesome link :D
