Anime: Kanon
Character: Nayuki Minase


It's Nayuki running in high heels in all her glory... after all, this is what you expect from the captain and fastest runner of her high school track team.


What happens if you take the (primary or) secondary heroine from the visual novel/anime called Kanon, take her out of the winter setting, and put her into an entirely new setting? The above picture should at least answer the gist of the question.


Nayuki is depicted here running towards something or someone (perhaps you, the viewer) in her semi-formal wear that I came up with. The background depicts a fictional place located somewhere in the world that has a Mediterranean climate (which I also came up with).

The character, textures, ocean, and sky were created in Photoshop.

The 3D models that make up the stone and wrought iron fence were created in 3dsmax.


EDIT #1: The brick pavement and walls now have texture. The long shadow actually blurs as it stretches farther and farther from the character.


There will be more new edits to come...

:iconfeawen:
I think this is way better than the first version! The face and the hair looks better that way. I don't know if you wanted that, but the hair looks a bit like cat ears and this is disturbing me a little. Maybe if it was a bit rounder it would bring less attention to this.

The colors are beautiful and the shading are very well done. One thing on the dress, the belly part has too much folds. She looks like she is way too skeletal. I think this part should be more flat so we can see she has a belly.

You are on the right way! Keep it up!

My first thoughts on this piece were "woah, that's fantastic!" and I stand by that initial idea. The character is alive and you can almost see her running toward you, the facial expression really adds to that impact, as does the sway of her hair.

With a long shadow like that, it tends to mean that the sun is quite far down in the sky - it's more of an evening shadow than a day time one - so maybe the lighting could be changed to reflect that, adding in some warm sunset glows and making the shading on the character a little stronger and more defined, but still keeping it soft like you have done. Either that or making the shadow a little shorter to be in keeping with the daylight style of lighting you've used.

The 3D background looks great, but perhaps a little on the harsh side, it partly takes away from the character, which ought to be the main focus of a picture like this. It also separates the foreground slightly, leaving just the shadow to connect the two pieces of the artwrk together. You could try painting over the 3D work a little to make it blend better with the rest of the image and add in some finer details such as trailing pnats over the brick wall, flowers in the white stone structure, or birds in the sky.

Over all, I think this is looking great already and has so much potential to be even more incredible, so keep up the good work!

Nice :) I like the backgroud.
I especially like the shading :)
P.S. Running in high-heeled shoes is a very bad idea =_= It's easy to sprain an ankle then.

Thanks for the comment.

Yeah, it is a very bad idea in general, yet there exists people who can do just that.
