Science girls competition entry: Karen!

#1 by AnimeMint - Jul 11 2009

Hi! This is my first competition entry.
As I said before i really like science girls so i'm giving a try
Good luck for others

I'm presenting you:
Karen! Her picture: http://anime-mint.webs.com/sciencegirls.htm
Music & Art girl
Favorite food: Mint sweets
Favourite animal: Dog
Hobby: Soup bubbles, manga

Attacks:

Sonic BOOM - An explosive sound wave witch attacks your enemy with normal damage and makes him dizzy for three moves even if attacked.

Air guitar - Can make Karen or other group members invisible by letting them attack but can't be seen by monsters. You can't be healed by others because they can't see you too.

Colorful canvas - With this attack Karen can bring another member in front from the back making four players being able to fight. This move needs a lot of sp.

Paintbrush inferno - Drains some health back to Karen from an enemy.

Karen really sounds like an outgoing and bubbly girl. ^_^ Mint sweets are my favorite too. ^o^

You're attack names were really creative in that they had cool names and didn't really have anything to do with what the attack did. That would be handy when fighting monsters. I mean, if somebody shouted the attack name, "Air Guitar!! 1...2...3...Go!" or something and they became invisible I'd definitely be confused.

I couldn't see the pictures though on your website. Maybe it's because I live behind the Great Firewall. ^o^ Who knows.

Oh wow!

She really fits well with the art style of Science Girls! ^_^ She's really cute too. ^o^

I like her hairstyle. What method did you draw her with because she's really really well done.

Methods, methods, methods hmmm.... Well I usually draw just what comes out of my hair, oh sorry i mean head lol.
Well I do use something like this : http://crysa.deviantart.com/art/Drawing-Anime-Hair-Bangs-34535785

To draw Karen I mostly used:The dot & guide method, Hair V. the eyes (1)
Of course I'm not that good as showed in the toutorial
Well, anyway I'm glad you liked it.

Ah I see. ^_^ I'm the same way if I get an idea for a character or something I have to write it down! Or rather draw it down. ^o^

Ah, I see. That is quite a good tutorial. ^_^ Nonsense, you're drawing of Karen was really great. ^_^

What kind of medium did you use? Like Photoshop? MSPaint? Paint on Paper? Coloured Pencils?

Sorry to ask to many questions, =_= Karen just looks really great and I'm curious. ^o^

Nah. I just used MSpaint to draw
Too bad I don't have a scanner now thought. It's easier for me to draw by hand.
P.S. ty again

Be that as it may, but you must be like an MSPaint goddess or something. That's just amazingly skillful mousework with your amazingly cute Karen artwork.

Wow...just wow...^_^ Great great skills you have. Thanks for telling me or I wouldn't have known your great MSPaint skills.
