This features 's character, Araisha 'Ari' Kaen, from the Fiction RP. I was just thinking about what to draw one day, and that pose and expression for Ari just came into my mind...I had to draw it. I worked really hard to REALLY make it look like Ari, the way that alliechan77 draws and imagines her. I'm very please with how I did. Not sure if the hair is completely accurate, but the eyes come really close and her mouth turned out perfectly. This was almost my first stab at drawing muscular female arms... Not too bad, but it doesn't look quite right, I need more practice. Ari's also not real big chested, and I think I'm fine there. Her legs felt a tad dwarfish as I was drawing it, but I think they're alright. I also completely forgot about her automail arm until Allie mentioned it to me in coversation after I inked it but before I even showed her the picture, but it wasn't very hard to add in, and a simple PSP edit helped. (This is also the first time I've included the automail at all when drawing Ari... I need to remember to do that.) I had a hard time deciding what she was going to be sitting on, and I finally decided on cave-ish rocks, since they were interesting enough and would support that type of pose, and of course would be found in nature. Then there's her outfit--my vision demanded the tank-top, and at the time Ari'd never worn one, however, CURRENTLY in the RP she is. :3 Woot! I think her sword looks a tad pathetic... It's actually two swords stuck in one case from either side, (think Kyuzo of Samurai 7) and you can't see the bottom handle... Oh well, at least you can tell what it is. I think I'll definately be coloring this one sometime, I like it way too much. :3

Yay! Colored! Woohoo!! I had lots of fun with this. First off, I love how dark it is. >3 I had fun playing around with the background... I hope I got the effect I was looking for... (A forest...) The rocks were time consuming, but I think it payed off. :3 I made sure to make Ari tan, but hopefully not TOO tan... And shading the shirt gave me troubles, not sure I'm even happy with it now but I gave up trying to make it perfect. XP And according to the Ari player herself, Ari has silver streaks in her hair... Not too bad, but I wish I could have done a better job with making them look like they're apart of the hair. XP I still like them though... They were fun to do... Time consuming, but fun. ^^ And I Ari's gold eyes! You go pose there Ari, you dark vampire you.
Er, really? 0.o Ari just kind of told me how I wanted it and this is how I pictured what she described... Still not completely happy with it though, like I said.
