rin's recipe for lateness [part 1], december 2007

[rin]

Name: rin
Website URL: dr.rin
Fanart character: Shidou Hikaru (Magic Knight Rayearth by CLAMP)
Theme: "New Year"
Fanart title: "New beginnings"
Media used: drawn with pencil, followed by some CG cleaning (need to redo!)
Summary/Comments: An extremely [infinity-squared!] belated fanart since I only finished it near the end of 2008 when it was meant for the exhibition in December 2007!!! Ack! [Mental note: New Year Resolution #1 [2009] - Always meet deadlines!] Anyway, since it was already set in my mind to do the fanart, I wanted to finish it even though I knew it would take a while, hehe. I have two more fanart submissions for AT in my backlog. Anyway, this is my version of Magic Knight of Fire, Hikaru. The small flames created by her magic signify new beginnings for the start of the new year (technically 2008, hehe!). Sorry again for the extreme lateness of this artwork!

Dedication makes up for procrastination. Maybe you should reopen some of the oldest exhibitions - like after xx time, people can submit late entries. We need more artists...and more regular members...

Your art has more detail and style compared to the beginning. Your art has always had a unique style to it and good points, but I can see growth when comparing the old and new entries.

Yeah, agreed. It's been pretty quiet for quite some time. To be honest, I had thought about putting AT on hiatus, discussed it with munky-san. I'm still deciding at the mo...

On a lighter note, thanks for your encouraging comments! I'm definitely happy with my progress, I really want to be more detailed in my artwork. One obstacle is time, so my artwork just ends up simple with clean lines because I have to make a deadline or something, hehe.
