Description Wow, where do I start?

First of all, this pretty Valkyrie isn't mine. She belongs to the game Odin Sphere for the PS2. If you're wondering why her feet are so small, blame George Kamitani. That's how he draws her and I just followed suit.

I think this picture pretty much proves that itching theory about me:

YES I CAN DRAW MORE THAN ANIME

Actually, I didn't even plan a picture of such epic proportions at all. I just started painting over a rough sketch and before I knew it, she looked realistic. So I went with it.

Dayum. Her wings and armor were a BITCH. But clearly I triumphed over such difficulties.

I think this picture quenches my thirst to draw Odin Sphere fanart for a while. God, the PSD for this is so huge that my computer has a stroke every time I load it.

This puppy took me 3 days total to finish. Photoshop CS and a tablet, baby, with 100+ layers. Aw-right.

Beautiful picture. I just discovered your work by way of your Avatar Finale comics and I have quickly become a fan. Consider yourself being watched by me from now on. (In retrospect that comes off a lot more creepy than it should of Looking forward to finishing up your gallery and enjoying your future works.

heehee! I love Odin Sphere! After I played it I wanted to draw EVERYTHING, from the charcters to that sheep-growing plant! But there was no way in hell I would survive drawing someone like Oswald in full body armor

Trust me, me too, me too. o_0
Apparently Odin Sphere liven up all the imagination that is lost in most other games. When I see it it really reminds me of a child's take on what things are like(the cafe and the kitchen and all.. The characters too) and apparently I'm really attracted to that(even makes me want to draw them, though I can't )

Heheh, maybe someday I'd draw him too. Though later maybe.. Since I've only been playing until Mercedes' chapter. Got to get a feel for him first. *w*

XDD OMG, the clouds are amazing. I seriously need to get Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements wouldn't be able to handle something with that many layers, lol. Awesome work!! What's that game about?

It's a really cool game that centers around 5 characters, and each one has their own story that you get to play.

Hey you're a Deviantart patron, maybe you can help me! I want to make this deviation a print, but for some reason I can't. Do you have any ideas why?

PsychoGlitch In reply to montiray [2007-08-06 19:48:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh, that sounds cool.

XD Heh, I know why. It's 'cuz this is a fan art, and it'll infringe copyrights and stuff if you sell it.

oh! so....uh...will I get in trouble if I sell it? Because I've seen other people sell fanart at 'cons and they don't get in trouble.

LOL, well, they have it right in the FAQ's under "Can I sell Fanart as Prints?" Well, the answer is that you can upload it as a print if you want because dA won't check it until someone tries to buy it, but if someone does try to buy it, they can't. I don't know if you'll get in trouble or not....

ooooh, thanx alot! I was browsing the Print FAQ for a while and I had no idea why I couldn't even submit it. Darn copyright laws. Oh well, I don't wanna get in trouble with the feds so I'll just leave it as fanart
