Please full-view and add to favs if u like it. ^^
This is a character I made. Her name is Oon. I was gonna spell it "Un". But I'm still debating on that.
And I dont know how to add accents on the comp so, for the sake of people "not" thinking her name is Un as in
fun or U.N. as in united nations, I felt titling it this for now is best.
- How it was done -
well the best i can do right now is give a bit of an overview.
First I drew the picture on paper in pencil.
Then I scanned it at 1200 dpi.
I resized it because the image was rlly large. I even had to shrink it again "after" I was done painting it
because the "file size" was too large for MT to accept.
I set it to multiply and painted over it with the airbrush brush tool. I had to mess with the layers here and there for
the lines to appear but not overpower the colors.
For the eyes, I vectored a few stuff there. I didnt vector the eyes themselves. If u full view it and look
"inside" her eyes, u might see shiny specks and lines to make it look "glittery" or something.
And that's basically how I did it. I don't have a tablet. I used the touchpad mouse on myt laptop to do this.
The software I used was adobe photoshop 7.0. And the scanner I used was HP Office Jet.
- Thx to -
Thx 2 nuckolls at stock.xchng site (great site for stock photos). I didn't use any photos in this, to be honest, I
drew everything myself. But I did use nuckolls' photo "Inside-Outside" as reference when I was
"drawing" the picture on paper. I'll be stopping by his/her page to let them know I used it.
(Minimized and edited because u must be a member of stock.xchng to have access to the real full quality one)
Also thx to weird12u (wei-chan / CC). her personality helped me get a good idea of how to make this character.

- Final Stuff to Say -
Oon is a funny character, I didn't have much reference for her, but I watched a whole lot of j-pop and k-pop
pv's in hopes of developing a look for her in my mind and this is what I came up with. She's a character in my
manga that I might not even start until I get a tablet so I can work with manga studio properly. And with all the things
I bought and is paying for, I don't think I'll be getting it anytime soon. TwT *sad*
The image will be put up on my deviant art, the otaku, tokyopop, square enix, art bistro, creative stem, etc. accounts
when I have the time and energy to do it. @w@; *thumbs up* But for now, it's only here.
If u want to see some more art by me, visit my profile page: http://selemental.minitokyo.net
and u will see links to my art accounts there.
I don't do requests, no tough feelings TwT), but I don't have the ability to do them now and I might not even
want to, because I think it's more fun to draw what i want when i want to. But it's mostly because
there's no guarantee that it will rlly please the person. Well for me, there's no guarantee. Probably
different for other people.
But I have another kind of news that offsets this. If u want to use my picture, not sell it (dont sell it), for a site
or whatever or maybe share it somewhere u can, but u would have to do the following
# join MT (doesnt take long if ur not a member)
# add this submission to favorites
# wherever u use it, be sure to mention my name and say that i (Selemental from MT) made it. it would also help if u
passed by and let me know ur gonna use it and for what. ^^;
* if u manage to get the image from other art accounts that belong to me (probly under a different name) same rules
apply to them if it is possible to follow such rules. because i know creative stem needs a portfolio in order for people
to join, so u might not be able to fav or comment that. in that case, it would be helpful to just mention my penname
(nickname) that u got the image from.
That's it. That's all I wanted to say. =w= *bad habit of writing too much* Thx in advanced if there's
anyone who actually read this and adds this to fav.
