Description
Well, I decided to finally submit it! Oficiazlly, this is my best picture ever, not just my best chii picture
. I think I did their faces almost perfectly. Again, I had a picture of reference for the faces, as I seem to do my best work with a refrence. I am really proud of this. I did it all by myself, including the digital background, done in paint, yes, my common old paint!
I hope everyone likes this.
Thankyou to all who have supported me for so long.
EDIT: btw, this looks sooo much better in full view.

I don't mind this pic too much, but lots of people commented on the distracting background, and I realised what they ment.

I haven't seen Chobits as anime,but I was reading a few chapters of the manga.Then I became so lazy to go on.<<;
I adore those ears.And the butterflies over the pic is so cute.
Hope to see more great artworks from you.

Uhm. Its really goood but I don't quite care much for the background.. that just throws me off =x

lovely. You gut their face and body so well.
My only major complaint is that the BG is distracting. She's so pretty, but the BG is more colourful, busy, and sharp, so it keeps pulling your eye away.....

oh yeah, the background. it sucks, i know, but it was my first, thats my only excuse! thanks, i'll work on the whole digital thingy, though i might stick to traditional work from now on!! thanks for the lovely comment!!

actually, i don't. i did the background in paint,

Oh you should keep experimenting - digital art is fun!!
Are you using photoshop, or.....? If you have multiple layers you could always keep your subject on one layer and experiment with the background separately. (if you don't know what I'm talking about, go to the menu: Layers, and select "create a new layer" ....and then go to the menu "Windows" and make sure "layers window" is showing. .....the layers literally lie on top of each other like clear plastic sheets).

ahhh. cute. i love anime... i'm just not too good @ it. I've only did one that i liked that's in my gallery... but i did it so long ago that i don't even know what show it was from...

don't be envious! I was horrible once.... just look at my first pics! but then i started looking at chii, and drawing her. i got pretty good at drawing her, and i improved. but as i discovered yesterday, i tried drawing something origional, and it looked as bad as the stuff i use to do! if you want to improve, make up your own character or find one, and just keep drawing them!!!!!
i'm going to submit another 2 pics involving chii in the next couple of weeks, and they are going to be even better than this one, I hope.
anyhoo, keep drawing

I think that it can be beautiful... i mean, i know when i first heard of it i only thought of those drawings from sailor moon, but after a friend of mine got into it i realised that there's a pretty good variety of styles involved also. either way. i'm envious.... lol.

Its really nice. When i zoomed in the background made my eyes wig out though. But that I think was just cause of the resolution. Overall the pic is really nice. Good coloring, and I especailly like the detail on the dressed. Nice work

thankyou so much for the nice comment! yeah, the background sucks, but i'm not usually a digital artist, i only had paint. I ment to add blue to the background as well, but i didn't. thanks again!

Very nice job, they look really cute and I like the way you colored the butterflies.

thanks so much! lots of people like the butterflies. i like doing them, they have such nice shading. the one on the right, I used the wings in a series of girls. i actually got the wings from a pic I once saw.

It is nice.. I like the pose they are in.. the symmetrical composition is nice too ^_^ However, work more on your colouring, shading etc. And, Do place the figures on a surface.. Think about the background and surface they are on.. If not, they will look as though flying, which looks odd.

Thanks for the constructive comment!! I couldn't think of a background to put them on, can you give any suggestions?

Uhhmm. It is hard to say.. if you would like to go for something simple, you can just do some walls, like in a big, or LONG room.. And so an effect sucking the room inwards.. like an extreme perspective

@o@;;; I love it. <33 -favefavefave- My only problem is the feet. :/ They're only a smidge off, like someone said earlier, but that's all right.
I've only read the first four volumes of Chobits; I haven't been to any book stores lately. So is Elda Chi's real name? Just wondering.
