Description This one took a lot longer than I wanted it to. Though most of that was me putting off drawing it. Then i got into it, and finished off drawing it pretty quickly.

Anyway, this is Kiya in her normal time zone, at her normal size. She's not actually meant to be a macro character or anything, so this is her in a more IC situation.

Did this take you the whole time I was gone?

It took a while this one. But that was mainly as I was really working on it on and off... and of course the moving house thing in the middle of it.

Wow, fantastic picture! I love the details you put into the background - the perspective on the buildings and the distant landscape is great. I really think you do some of the best backgrounds I've seen on dA. Nice job on the rear view of the character too.

And I must say that wall looks amazing. Did you draw it all by hand or use a texture? Either way, it looks great!

Thanks for the comments! I quite enjoyed drawing this background when I eventually got into it. So I'm really thankful you like it so much. Anyway, as for the wall, it's a mixture of both. It is a texture, yeah, but I've added my own shading over the top of that to get a more realistic 3d effect with the lighting.

Ah, I see. Well I think you did a great job with adapting the texture to fit the pic - a lot of the time when people use textures they stand out too much but yours blends in well. The shading adds a lot to it, too.

=O that is the best wall i have ever seen~ ooooohhhhh~~

the rest is nice too BUT THAT WALL IS AWESOME

....XP

nah it's a cool picture ^^ i like the work you put into making the buildings in the city be varied in their shapes and sizes. nice use of decorative stuff too--the pillars and whatnot, i mean. and whatever that big trapezoidal building is.

you put some work into Kiya too i see! your characters look a little better every time you draw them. i like all the jewelry and stuff...although i hate it when it's time for -me- to draw it all. XP

but nice picture Stampy ^^

Heh, glad you like the wall. It kinda had to look good considering its taking up half the picture. I tried to mix up the background some, as I couldn't just get away with doing millions of boxes, like I usually do.

Also.. draw Kiiiiiiya! She needs more love.

It looks really amazing! Especially the shading looks stellar, very bright and like it should look in the deserts of Egypt. It's really impressive and Kiya looks at lot less threatening at that size. Neat picture!

StampyDragon In reply to MeisterLi [2009-07-19 22:34:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, like I said, she's not meant to be huge. She's just too much fun not to make huge every now and then.

MeisterLi In reply to StampyDragon [2009-07-19 23:22:12 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I can imagine. And hey, she looks good being huge.

This is wonderful! I had no idea you were putting her in an Egyptian setting when you started this! Yay!

There are tons of things I love about this image. I like all the little added details you put on Kiya, just as that holy golden cross and the beautiful yellow ribbon. But what I like the most are the coiled bands around her arms. I enjoy those kind of pieces.

StampyDragon In reply to Eclipsis [2009-07-19 22:34:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I've actually been wanting to draw this picture for some time. And thanks, i'm glad you like the details. I actually too like the added jewelry.
