Anime: Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu (a.k.a. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

Characters (from left to right): Kyon's sister, Kyon, Yuki Nagato, Haruhi Suzumiya, Mikuru Asahina, Itsuki Koizumi.

Here, the leader of the SOS-Dan (SOS-Brigade), Haruhi, exerts her influence upon Kyon and Mikuru. Itsuki and Kyon’s sister are praising (and worshipping her). Yuki is just…reading.

Here it is, the finished version of this picture (it was completed a while ago, but I did not have the chance to submit it). Much of the line-art and shading of the characters is done using vectors such as the pen tool with little use of the tablet. The background is a 3D render (yes, the railings and the buildings are all 3D models made from scratch - and the render took FOREVER).

EDIT: What I meant by vectors is that for the characters I used the Pen Tool in Photoshop to trace over the line art that I did on paper and scanned for the computer.


TIME: 2 Months (with intermittence)
