Hi, Minitokyo People!

Finally, after a long break 'cause of studying at Uni, I'm back with my new wallie!

some off topic - the ap's v6 is awesome! I enjoy working with it! I spent all week-ends surfing it! Thanks Bantam for such pleasure!

I chose this Ah, megami-sama scan [link] and began to work. (you could see this scan at my wips)
Actually, when I saw the scan, idea just came to me immidiately. As I study Lingua Latina (my spec. is Philology; and studying foreign languages- English, and German - starts from the 3rd year) and learn Latin's 'alate' sayings.
So, I've remembered this - ab ovo usque ad mala (I'm not sure to how right to translate it to Eng, but hope you know its meaning). Ab ovo - from the beginning; I tried to show the beginning of the life, the Mother of all Earth- this Goddess. I kept the original scan style.

Vectoring work was not hard, but annoying (details of her dress, necklace). I vectored her (ermm, just don't know character's name%>) in 'old-school style'- only few shads/lights/black outlines,etc.It was interesting to draw the egg)) After the vector I started to draw the bg. I use brushes and a bit of drawing; plus I found the Earth stock and made some edits with it. When the concept was ready I only added a character and made some adjustments with colors.
