Yae on the rooftops...

Description

Jumping down from one roof to the next, her precious bow has been cut by an enemy attack, allowing her hair to flow freely in the wind. Whether her mission right now is a success or not is up to you, but with that look of apprehension on her face, it seems it isn't over just yet.

It took a while to complete and while I still believe I've got a way to go I feel the overall result is my most successful to date. If there's two things I've learned in this project it's the importance of good draughtmanship and planning during the sketching stage. While I had a general idea of what I wanted and a reasonable plan with my Yae preview, much of the details in this picture had to be done "alla Prima", especially when I discovered a couple of flaws in the original design. Next time I'm going to be more thorough with the planning stage, to make the digital inking stage a more fluid and faster process.

Anyway, I hope you Yae fans like her.

Yae-chan is © of Konami. Incidently, while the main rooftop scene is based on a famous print by Yoshitoshi, the background is from one of Hiroshige's Tokaido stages, which I had to write about for a recent dissertation.
