Description
This is a picture of my OC Shinrei Tenryuusai. She is the lead female protagonist in my manga, "Dream." Reborn as a demon after the fall of EDEN colony, she was returned to her family and encouraged to live a normal life after being integrated with the free knowledge of the planetary database. Driven by her new found knowledge, heightened senses and drastically increased physical abilities, she quickly grew fond of martial training, and rose to master class very early on.Younger daughter of the Tenryuusai family, she is guaranteed inheritance and management of half the family's Corporate properties, most notably Tenryusai Heavy Industries, developers of the climate control systems and gravity regulation systems used by the lunar and outlying extra-orbital colonies, TenCon, a consumer goods subsidiary, and Tenryuu Electronics Global, a leading producer of Saiterra's microcontroller devices, integrated circuits, and semiconductors.
Disliked and distrusted by many of her family members and the corporate officers she will someday head alongside her brother, she has yet to express interest in any future in business, instead preferring to travel the world on foot perfecting her techniques and sharpening her mind. Her life's direction changes dramatically upon meeting her counterpart, Hiro Xianglong:
Am not sure if I liked how this turned out or not. The antlers were a huge pain, especially the shadows.
Added a simple watermark, too...so sorry 'bout that.

Definitly Shinrei is build... greatly. In muscle too
I like details alike letters/ sings (what are they mean?) and that punching bag looks like often used.
Still next to Hiro's portrait, Shinrei's one looks kinda... peacfully.

lol Well demons in my world are all pretty well endowed -male and female alike.
The characters say "Meikyou Shisui" which literally means "clear mirror and still water" but refers to a state of mind as 'clear and serene as a polished mirror and still water'.
Yes, old punching bags are often held together and wrapped by whatever is on hand at the time. Duct tape and fabric wrapping are common.
Both are fairly peaceful, but I think I see what you mean...maybe it's because he's holding the sword? This picture is of her after she's done training, so maybe she looks more relaxed...

You're not sure if you like it? Well, let me help you decide---It's fantastic! 
But let me talk about this background for a second, holy god. I love the antlers used to hold the swords, that's killer. So much detail in this piece! It almost excuses you from not posting in forever, Shin. 
Love it.

lol I'm so glad you like it! (Maybe it's the lighting that's bugging me...or something. 
Awww...this didn't quite do it, huh? Guess I'll have to put something else out soon...
Thanks as always for your comments!

Hey, no problem, I always look forward to your art! 
As for me, I've posted a few pieces for friends recently, but no comic pages.

I'm very glad to hear it!
I also am looking forward to reading more of Frequency!
Yeah, it's a little daunting to want to sift through the messages...most of it is due to watching so many groups (should probably edit the settings soon.)
I already watch like 800 people -the groups' deviations are a little overkill.
Ok, once I mentally prepare myself to go through the messages I'll keep an eye out for the new ones.
Good luck with your work!

Hmm... Shinrei looks different than I remember. More svelte. Color probably has an impact. The hair! That's it. Her hair's back.
So she's and heiress. Intriguing. I assume conspiring family will be to blame for many battles ahead. A very broad and sweeping mythology you have going. Hope you can get that comic cooking again soon.
And ah rack muh swords on antlers!

For example I had thought that Shinrei's hair are rather black, than dark brown.

Does seem that way. Though the comic is black and white.

And when she's quiet dark skined in color version
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, I figured a ponytail would be good for someone exercising.
Her family may be behind some things much later on, but they actually play only a small part in the story. I hope to get going again soon, too...
lol Me too!

Agreed. Longer form stuff takes planning and rewriting and stuff and stuff and stuff. Lots of work.

this is an interesting back story, are you posting the Manga? If not I would love a link to where I can read it.

Sweet. I can't wait to start reading it.

Ha ha I hope you enjoy it so far...there are pages missing, and some have found it to be confusing...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ill just have to figure out where you hid the missing pages. I see a quest on the horizon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol As tempting as it is to lead someone on a fruitless quest, I cannot remain silent!
Unfortunately the pages are not up anywhere...I'll probably post them somewhere else randomly (maybe HF) throughout the year...

Wow, I've been looking forward to a new Shinrei piece and this one is absolutely amazing. Looks like a time consuming piece but I love every detail. Shinrei looks amazing, great body. Great work too with the textures.

Is that how her name translates? It's very nice. And what do the characters on that plaque say?
Antler weapon racks..... Do you have to go around picking the right stag? It sorta makes me want to mount weapons on live deer instead! The straight sword looks slanted, but I suppose no set of antlers is perfectly symmetrical, lol.
I really like the textures on all the walls, and the punching bag looks really beat up! I didn't even really see the watermark until you mentioned it and I searched.
Her hair seems much different somehow(she must have it tied back), but Shinrei looks great! You must have put a lot of work into the tones in her complexion and smoothing it out. I admire the musculature. It makes sense for a fighter. Many artists hold back from giving their female characters muscles. What I like best is the line pattern for her top and pants. Simple, but very interesting and eye-catching.
I've been meaning to do some practice drawing lips lately. She looks fine here, but I might personally try to use thinner or lighter lines for lips.
This is some great work, Shin. Where is the next page of Dream I've been waiting for?

Yes, though the "gift" means 'gift' as in 'aptitude' or 'talent'. 
Well in some cases the antlers will of course not work, but some species have antlers that work better than others. The top rack is based on an Elk's, and the lower rack is based on a Mule Deer's. It would be extremely difficult to find antlers that were perfectly symmetrical, though there are some that come close. For these I wanted near-symmetry but made them different heights and lengths on each side for realism. I've seen many antler sword racks from Japan, the US, and Canada, and most of them do not hold weapons level. In one way that's an appeal. The spear is also offset slightly on the Elk's antlers.
Thanks, I'm glad the textures worked out alright. The punching bag will likely need to be retired soon...
Yeah, I had it tied back in a ponytail for this piece. I always find it difficult to balance musculature and femininity, but hopefully I'm getting better. A fighter should have a fighter's body, for sure. 
I agree with you about her lips...the shape is ok I think, but I really should have used thinner lines. I should be able to thin them out later, since I still have the image saved in layers.
Thanks for your comments!
(I have some pages drawn, but need to ink and add tones to them.
