2D turn-around for Chanta Fey (character design assignment, category - cute & cunning). Yeah, that's a LOT of turns. LOL~ But it was in the requirements so I can't do anything about that. She's a neo-futuristic hacker and that's actually a laptop bag she's wearing around her waist. I did this the day before presentation... it took an awful lot of time so had to scrap the idea of re-doing the final because I was focusing too much on this. The colouring was fun but kind of rushed. I went back and re-touched the markering afterwards. Kept the original (and passed-up the printed version) 'cause I'm cheap. Haha~ :D

I noticed that for some unfathomable reason, I drew her 'short'. I can hardly draw short girls before. I tend to exaggerate the length of their legs (a good example is Hirari... I call her short but I hardly draw her in such a way. LOL~). I know some things are a bit off here and there (granted that this was also a rushed job). I gave it my best shot but I'm still a novice at this so... ^^; The scanner made the colours appear more pinkish than it actually is.... >__> ; I faced some problems with her face, eyes and hair.... yet again, struggling to maintain a constant look. Such a pain. Oh by god, I hope I didn't miss anything. *scrutinizes the pic again*

Brief (or not so brief) background story at the very bottom in tiny, itsy-bitsy font so that you have the freedom to skip it 'cause let me warn you in advance.... it's LAME. Haha~

I'm not kidding, yo.

Background story

- Chanta hacked into a highly classified government network in search of some leads regarding her brother (Milo Fey) who has mysteriously disappeared without a trace for nearly 6 months, and unwittingly stumbles upon a clandestine government-military project involving time-travel/dimensional-crossover by ripping a hole out of the fabric of time and space.

- She discovered, after much researching and skimming through complex algorithms, that if the project were to be continues as planned... well, it's suffice to say that something was bound to go terribly, terribly wrong and that if it is not halted, humanity itself could be potentially wiped out of existence (it's always this, isn't it?). Of course, it was highly unlikely that the mad scientists under the strings of the government had overlook something as crucial as this, so she concluded that they simply 'turned a blind eye' and persisted against their better judgements (as most officials tend to do).

- Naturally, being a somewhat 'normal' citizen, Chanta couldn't care less whether or not the fate of the world hangs in balance. Her only priority was in tracking down her bro's location.

- It wasn't long (overnight was more like it) before she was declared a 'wanted' outlaw and was forced to leave her shabby apartment and into hiding with pursuers hot on her trail.

- She soon discovers that her bro's disappearance was tightly linked to the project and that he may in fact be stuck in the past or worse, in the past of some alternate plane that's different from her own (Haha, my fondness with parallel world themes is hard to curb).

- At the same time, she begins to receive strange, encrypted messages and clues left in places often frequented by herself and her brother which lead her to believe that in some ways, her brother was trying to reach her from wherever he was. And thus, begins her relentless search for her only remaining family as she attempts to dodge government agents sent to hunt her down.

Oh, I know it's a pretty common storyline but that's all right. I was never very creative to begin with and plot-creation isn't my strongest point. Haha~ :D There's some more stuff that I left out but that will have to wait until the next submission of Chanta-related art. One extra character will make a cameo cuz god forbid if I ever create a story without a pairing. LOL~ Till then.... and uh yeah. Don't take the story too seriously. It's just plain, harmless fun on my part. Nothing thought provoking or anything.

Heheh impressive=D
It's not easy to do turn-arounds but you did it quite well /o/
and now i can see all the detail in the outfit and .. i love it :heart: !!
And i know what it is to do and finish an assigment the eve of presentation xD such a bunch of stress but also a very good way to be productive and to force onesefl not to touch up or redo a design ahahah xD
And no worries :glomp: you manage to keep her consistent =) as you said there are some little errors here and there but so tiny compared to the amount of work xD She's lovely and you're right she's kinda short xD
[here we have an expression saying that everything that is short is cute haha ]
~~ And btw while you often said that you had problem in proportion here Chanta is really well proportionned i think :D~

I can't wait to do again that kind of work too haha

:hug:
