Hmm, I was trying to get this in before midnight, but I guess that didn't work. Sigh. I can never beat the clock.

So yes, this is Talim from Soul Calibur II. I used to use Link and Taki, but now I use her...and I still suck just as badly. XD Though, I'm getting the hang of her dodge moves, so I should be slightly better. Yes. *coughs*

And...FIRST PIECE WITH TABLET. Har, I love it. At first I couldn't even do lines without them looking horrible and wobbly, but now I can use it and it's lovely and all that. So, more pics from me soon, I think. :D And actually...I think that this is one of my best ones yet. The coloring part, I mean. My lineart still isn't that good...I need to practice drawing, methinks. But yes, this is definitely not an original pose, hence the title.

...One of these days, I will do another original pic that actually looks good... -_-;

Talim, Soul Calibur II © Namco
Done with PS (I can't use PSP anymore now that I have this tablet ;_;], WACOM intuos2 tablet, 0.7 mech pencil.
Time? Way too long.

EDIT: By the way, this is thanks for over 1,000 hits on deviantART!

Edit 7/19: Eh, sorry if you get this again in your devwatches...just had to fix up several glaring issues and all that. *laughs*

I have to agree with the Miyazaki comment, she looks very Miyazaki-ish here! Of course, I love that art style too.
This is as good a place as any to say so I suppose, but many people seem to play as Talim and Link in SC2 (Self included)
and this rather amuses me considering the amount of shipping between them!

I theorize it's because of the similar color palettes, the relation of Wind with Link, and then also that both of them are of comparable age and have a similar psychological profile and tend to not be uber violent combat obsessed nuts...

Hope I don't sound crazy!

Thanks! She's my favorite too. Haha, I don't know if my work's Miyazaki-esque - his is softer and more of the old anime style, whereas mine is more akin to the newer styles out there more heavily influenced by realism. Basically, I'm rambling and undeserving of that kind of praise. XD
