I've finally decided to show off my fanart here. Anyway, I've always been a fan of the show Digimon and the character Kari Kamiya happens to be my favourite character of all. So, I came up with the idea that she could be a NetBattler and I have given her, her very own NetNavi. This is the picture of that Navi, called simply Neko.EXE.

I'll be honest, it was the only name that came to my mind as I wanted the name to sound Japanese. Also, I was inspired by R Roll's design when I created this piece, although this is the second version overall as the first one wasn't to my liking. Seeing that Kari's Digimon, Gatomon was a cat, I wanted her Navi to have a cat like quality to her, which also explains why I named her Neko. It took me a while to find the right colours and I think it turned out pretty well. As for the background, I simply chose two random colours, and stuck with it, adding some extra effects here and there.

The coloring is very good, but she needs to be more cat-like. When I see her, I keep thinking "Bunny".

I think it had to do with the ears. Now that I look back on them, they do resemble rabbit ears moreso than cat ears. Since Gatomon was white in colour originally, I wanted to have Neko.EXE sport a similar fashion, but since pure white was too bright for my liking, I went with something slighty darker. I guess that also was a factor in regards to you thinking about a bunny. Thank you for the comment though, and I will keep it in mind in future artworks of this character.

Thanks Mikazuki, for the comment. The colours pink, green, and grey-white were the main colours that I wanted to use from the start, although I did experiment with them to see where they should all go and I am proud of the final arrangement. The other colours came up as I went along as I quickly realized that I needed more than three colours in order for Nek.EXE to make a good impression.

To Haly K: I've been a fan of Digimon ever since it first appeared on the former Fox Kids station back in 1999 and it was this fandomness so to speak, which wanted me to create this character and have Kari as a NetBattler. As I said in the opening post, I was inspired by R Roll's design when it came to Neko.EXE, and I guess that the regular Roll would count as well. Although, Gatomon's design also played a factor as I wanted to go with a cat motif. Thank you for the comment as well.

Here is a new piece of artwork that I have recently finished and I see it as the sister to the first one that I showed. I said that in the first one that the Digimon character Kari Kamiya would become a NetBattler and have her own NetNavi in the form of Neko.EXE. I decided to go one step further and I gave Kari her own Cross Fusion form with Neko.EXE, R Neko.

What I did here, was take the Neko.EXE design and modify it in a few areas, which appears to be the case when it comes to Cross Fusion and I replaced Neko's face with Kari's and I changed the background colour. I am a fan of the whole Cross Fusion aspect, which is why I came up with this design. Again, I was inspired by R Roll's design.

Aww, cute!
The only problem is, though, the proportions are a bit off. She should be taller. much taller. Other than that, it's cute. :3

Thanks for the comments Mikazuki and Featherdust. I wanted R Neko to have a cuteness factor and it shows with the colours that I chose and I feel that it turned out really well. Now that I look back on what I did with R Neko, I have to agree with you Featherdust in regards to the proportions. She ended up being a little on the short side as when I drew her, I ended up drawing her too low on the paper and when I was finished, her feet were barely touching the paper's edge. I'll be using these two characters quite a lot and I'll make sure to adjust the proportions next time.

I have returned with another new piece of artwork. This one is of another NetNavi that I created, named simply HeroMan.EXE. It may not be the best name in the world, but it was something that became stuck into my head the moment I thought of it. So, here is the piece.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/Davis88/heroman_exe.jpg

I created this Navi for a Mario character of mine that I have been using in my stories for over 12 years now. He is named Little Koopa (again, it's not the best name in the world) and I wanted to make him a NetBattler too, as well as something else that I had in mind. Thus, HeroMan.EXE was born. Anyway, with HeroMan, I originally wanted him to have gold-like colours, but when I used the ones that he has now, I decided to stick with that as it looked and felt much better. Persoanlly, I don't really like how his left eye turned out, but I worked around it as best as I could from what it was like on paper to start with.

It's been a while since I added something new, so I might as well do just that. Add something new. This is a somewhat quick sketch that I did of Meiru (Maylu) about a couple of weeks ago, and it's just now that I was able to colour it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/Davis88/meiru.jpg

What she is holding in her right hand is a can of soda, but it's merely a no-name variety and not something like Pepsi or Coca-Cola. I wanted to keep the idea pretty simple mind you.

Hmm, the head seems a little big but everything seems fine. I think it's because because the nose and mouth is so small that's why it looks big to me.

Well, this is only the second time that I have drawn Meiru, and when I compare it to my first attempt and my future attempts, the head does indeed look a bit big now that I look back on it. I tend to draw noses and mouths that small as it is something that I have gotten used to doing over the years. It has become like a second nature to me that I feel works really well, but maybe not so well this time around. Anyway, thanks for the comment Unknown Neo.

No problem I'm happy to help.

These look great Ganondorf. I like how you handled the shading and backgrounds. Regarding your latest pics, Little Koopa may not be the best name in the world, but it sure is one of the most appealing. XD Hero Man has a very interesting design, almost medieval looking. Bull horn helmet and spiked shoulder pads...you can't go wrong with that. =3

It didn't take me long to master what Photoshop had to offer Vanilla and over the years, my skill have been improving with the program. Lately, my skills have dropped due to taking a four month absense away from the program, but I am slowly coming back to it. Little Koopa isn't the best name I've used, but since I've used it for 12 years, I can't really change it now. It does sound appealing once you get used to it. I was going for a medievil design for HeroMan, and I was inspired slightly by Fire Emblem via the General class.

Magicman: I suppose the chin could do with a little improvement on my part. You are referring to my Meiru drawing right? If so, like I said, this second attempt isn't as good as the first one and the future attempts that I have made. I must have had an off-day at the time. Hands are difficult for me, so I use my own hands as as something to look at. Maybe that's why they appear as being male like. The colouring is something I handle with care, and I aim to make it as best as I can.

Unknown Neo: I am glad that you helped me, as you've given me something to think about for next time.

I should have posted this next artwork last week, but I forgot all about it. Well, better late than never I suppose. Anyway, this is another quick piece that I did and it is of Roll.EXE, and it also happens to be my first attempt at drawing her.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/Davis88/roll_exe.jpg

I actually had to make an edit after I had gone over the outline first as I realized that I had made an error after scanning it in originally. But, it all turned out for the best.
