Description

_{This is most definetly his official design. :3

+ [Here's the concepts page]

FIRST OFF - the artwork in itself is ABSOLUTELY FREAKING HORRIBLE, ok. The lineart is one of my worst with numerous proportion errors and alltho the colouring is nice, it was rather rushed. Disregarding that, I really really like his new design. <D Waaaaay more than his older one seen [ Here ] in the old reference. It was alot of work trying to get this to seriously look as well as it does now. Plenty of wasted cardstock sadly...I'm just extremely excited about how awesome it looks and that it matches the new design for 'Nuka seen [ Here ] far better than I expected. lol. Man, was I worried that I might've had to drop her change since I couldn't come up with anything for him. o.o;;

The pants shown here are much either, but it's one of many general ideas based off of the colour scheme used. I totally forgot to put a cresent moon on it somewhere while sketching. bah. It still works without one (or two). The tail ring is just something I wanted to try out on Reiko cause he has a long and fluffy tail when 'Nuka can't cause her's is short and poofy. XD lol. Out of hating the whole image, I do like his tail and hair quite a bit.

<3 *snuggles my warm, Axe-Unlimited smelling comfy Reiko*

Can I steal his pants? Those are the coolest pants ever. (runs away, pants blowing in the wind behind her)

Aww, this design really shows how much you and Reiko have both grown up over the years. i've viewed Nuka's new design as well, and they don't seem older, but they seem more mature, know what I mean? This purple hair though, is really good for him. I've never met Reiko, I don't know his personality, but this purple, it just seems to set the mood and it really adds a sense of depth to his character. I'm getting deep here myself, but I don't know how else to put it. The hair, is quite lovely. Your shading and highlights are really nice on his hair too. :3 One of your best hair highlights ever! The lightblue fur patterns are really nice. It's good how you didn't outline them with pen, because they not only stand out more, they seem more realistic, and fur like. xD And now for the grey. I think it's a bit of a change for me to see, but I still like it. I think I have to get used to it. He is darker now, but he doesn't seem really, dark-depressed (if you know what I mean, sorry if I'm not making sense). It's a dark in a way he can still be happy. And the glow stick is a nice touch. You two are perfect for each other, and I think the glow sticks can represent that. <3

Overall, the picture is nice. I know you're just introducing the new character, but the grey background for me just seems neh. But that's my opinion. The picture is amazing and I can see you improve with each picture. Keep up the great work! (I'm working on my entry for your contest too! Almost done!)
