Rambles, Rants, and Musings

The good, the bad, and the frustrating.

The good? I got the image scanned, and translated the scan over to my computer. So I can actually show you where I'm at!
The bad? ...Well, sort of. Turns out my fancy new scanner is just as bad as the other one. Because I've kept most of my lineweights light, a fair majority of the "unfinished" work is entirely invisible to the naked eye.
The frustrating? My computer is being a pain right now, doing some sort of CPU-eating abomination of a task. It's something that I know I once looked up, and found out is a legitimate thing Windows NEEDS to do every once and a while to keep the computer running at all, but it's making an already-daunting task much harder than it needs to be.

Anyway, without further ado, the image as I have it:
Picture
Sharp eyes can make out the text 'Prologue' at the bottom, and may be able to see the outline of the rest of the letters at the top. (I did all of them; there's outlines that spell out 'Red Hood Rider' up there, but since you can't see them, you'll just have to take my word on it.) The bow's sort-of visible, the arrow not so much. (The arrow extends off the page.) You can kinda see the outline of the arms, the left one much moreso than the right, and some details of the hoodie are there, but not nearly as much as I have put in. All my shading on the arms (her gloves), face (her mask), and head (her hair) is gone, too. (If the problem persists, I'll see about the settings. Never know what you can do to improve. I know that on the old scanner, I did much better on grayscale than black/white OR color, for instance.)

Still, though, in spite of how much is absent, you can definitely see where I'm coming from here. A half-strung bow (I found a really good reference image for that, but it was (1) only for the bow itself and showing none of the body, (2) for a guy, (3) facing a slightly different angle, and most importantly (4) for a leftie rather than a right-handed shooter such as Ruby--all my other references are mostly/entirely-drawn bows because that's all I could find), not yet pointed at a target, but getting ready.

As the series goes on, I imagine I'll refine her look a bit. Probably move slightly away from the young anime look into a slightly more hybridized older look, depending on my ability. (I want to keep as much of the anime look as I can, though. In particular, I found one incredibly awesome reference image of a girl wielding an energy bow. I can only dream to be that good. While I envision Ruby's bow to be slightly more tangible, especially with the grip, the image shown is basically exactly how I see Ruby's bow.) But so far, so good!
