Ah, yes. I'm not dead yet! In fact, I may just go take a walk.

Monty Python references aside, it took a contest run by a friend of mine to get me to get the ol' wacom out n' draw. However, I decided to really go the distance here, which means that A. I focused a half a month over details and getting references, then realize that the background is wonky, and B. stuff's too stiff.

It is an eternal battle, digital painting.

Alright. Here's the gist of the contest here: [link] Basically? You grab a random desc from the make-a-ninja generator, and draw that nin. As simple as that. My description is here:

This contemplative female ninja is tall and has an elegant build. She is missing her right arm. Her large eyes are pine-green. She has straight olive-green hair. Her severe outfits are usually gray and include a belt with many pouches. She uses an artistic form of martial arts that emphasizes duplicating the moves of one's opponent and using kicks. Her preferred weapon is a garotte. She is skilled in mimicry, astronomy, and climbing. She uses her weapon to produce shockwaves.

I'm not sure if I'll get any points for exact accuracy, but it's an actual background and a more realistic rendering style. However, I wasn't sure if it fit more in the fantasy category or the anime category, as there were some stylistic nuances that seem to lend themselves to anime, but I guess it's up for debate.

My lovely one-armed nin shall squat in the anime section for now. She may ninja away to the fantasy gallery later, however, if someone recommends it.

I really like the background on this. Is it weird that i think those strings in the trees may be because its hard using a garotte with one hand? She must have been getting in some practice. Awesome work!! And yeah i know its fairly old. Still cool though!!

It's probably some trick that could only work with anime physics. XD And it's alright! I still have a soft spot for the rendering I did on the scarf.

Cool! The coloring is also very nice. ^_^

O-o Why does she only have one arm? That's kind of frowned upon in the ninja community you know? Love the pic just kinda confused....

~matildarose Feb 16, 2009 Traditional Artist

It was for a contest where we did a picture based on a randomly generated description. My ninja only had one arm and green hair, so, I wasn't aiming for something historically accurate. The description for the picture explains it better.

~matildarose Jul 15, 2005 Traditional Artist

It's kinda quiet in this neck of DA. XD However, thank you for commenting.

For the ninnin's arm, I guess I could leave that up to spectulation. Don't see very many one-armed nin nowadays, do ya?
