This is great, Lith. I was hoping someone would color Chich. Sweet Alison looks dead on and I like that you kept them white. I think it keeps her simple, which works with her design and her character.

So cute! I love that light peridot green you used, it really suits her.

Thanks guys!

Here's a little one from 339. Not too big so I guess I'll just inline it full size. The flowers reminded me of Sweet Alison, which comes in a ton of colors but most usually white as a wildflower so that's what I went with here.

Very nice, Lith. What a cutie she is

I think I'll add that for her character entry in the Encyclopedia, as long as you're okay with it. Thanks so much for looking up the genus of the flower! I was curious myself, but never took the time to look it up.

Very nice one, Lith. I think puella's going to use it as her avatar, if that's Ok with you.

peridot green

Man, I think it's been about 15 years since I last saw that word.

Bravo Lith, very well done!!

Though rather than being completely green, from seeing her the first time I kinda imagined Chich's hair being blonde (especially around the roots), fading into green the further away it goes. But great work nevertheless

Lithrael · « **Reply #607 on:** June 25, 2012, 09:19:35 PM »

Thanks for the compliments folks!

Rodrigo, I like that idea! Gave it a shot, think it does look nice.

As for use in avatar/encyclopedia, of course, please do.

And cause I am OCD, here's a link to one with the blonde hair but with the same dark background as the first one since I can't decide which I like better. http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/2716/berserkch329p033b.jpg

WAAAHHHHH poor li'l thing! Very lively color there, Lith. Nice and springy. I like the little bit of blonde in there. Reminds me of blades of grass.

Ah yes, indeed it does. Even better now, actually

Lithrael · « **Reply #610 on:** October 04, 2013, 08:20:54 PM »

Man it's been a while! I've been puttering a little bit. Right now I'm working on a few colors inspired by the TCG. I've got Grunbeld almost finished, but just since I haven't posted anything in yonks, here, have this Lisa Frank abomination that is Amethyst Grunbeld

Oh, and I remember someone figured out exactly what flower Chich is, but I can't seem to find the post now - does anyone remember or have a link?

Walter · « **Reply #611 on:** October 05, 2013, 02:59:20 AM »

Only a true badass can pull off Trapper Keeper Lisa Frank's Hot Pink.

As for the flower, Aaz correctly identified it after Volume 37 spelled it out in the liner notes: http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=13547.msg220631#msg220631

"And it turns out it's a "Shepherd's purse" (薺), the formal name of which is Capsella bursa-pastoris. "

Lithrael · « **Reply #612 on:** October 05, 2013, 03:09:23 AM »

Ah great! Thank you Walter.

Grail · « **Reply #613 on:** October 05, 2013, 07:05:59 PM »

Wow, very cool as usual, Lith! The Lisa Frank reference went right over my head for a minute there, and then I realized that I had a bunch of folders with her designs... Simpler times.

For the record, I'm down with a purple Grunbeld.

Anyway, it's always great to see new work from you!

Lithrael · « **Reply #614 on:** October 07, 2013, 02:32:53 PM »

Thanks Grail!

Arright, Grunbeld's finally done!

foooomsh *huge blazing fire noises*

Aazealh · « **Reply #615 on:** October 07, 2013, 05:06:27 PM »

Very nice!

Gobolatula · « **Reply #616 on:** October 07, 2013, 08:30:41 PM »

Lith you magnificent maniac, these are so cool! I love Amethyst Grunbeld.

Proj2501 · « **Reply #617 on:** October 11, 2013, 05:11:53 PM »

Gorgeous, as always.

Lithrael · « **Reply #618 on:** October 07, 2014, 03:17:58 PM »

ONE YEAR LATER!!! Thanks you guys. <3

OK, my gallery died again a little while ago when the raid array it was on violently exploded, but I've just got it mostly working again (lithrael.com/ig) AND uploaded a couple new colors!

First I revised an old color of Grunbeld's group of great big apostles stomping on burnt Ganishka gore flower monsters:

And here's a new one, the Merrows rescuing Guts. I ended up with two versions and I can't seem to decide which I like better.

Aazealh · « **Reply #619 on:** October 07, 2014, 05:13:47 PM »

Those look great. Can't decide either for the merrows, I like both treatments. Not much help, I know.

IncantatioN · « **Reply #620 on:** October 08, 2014, 01:55:59 PM »

Love the colors for Grunbeld's group, Miura's attention to detail is fantastic. I like the right merrow colors because it's warmer/ less crisp looking ... maybe accounting for sea water around the Sea God not being as clear.

Walter · « **Reply #621 on:** October 08, 2014, 02:38:58 PM »

Wow! That Grunbeld piece is striking. The color tone is what does it. You picked the darkest, most fiery colors across that full spectrum.

Similar to Aaz, I don't have a preference on the merrow coloring. There are aspects I like of each iteration. The darker the better though, I think. Given the light source in that scene.

Lithrael · « **Reply #622 on:** October 08, 2014, 04:02:32 PM »

Thanks guys! Yeah, I had a lot of fun digging back into Grunbeld. It's a really dense scene and I was so happy when it started looking like I imagined it sounding. The glowing embers really made it pop.

You guys are right about the darker one being in better continuity with the story and tone. I think I like the lighter one better on its own, but it's more sort of the Weeki Wachee Springs version.

Constantly_Shaved · « **Reply #623 on:** October 08, 2014, 06:30:51 PM »

Great job Lithrael , the Grunbeld and Co. coloring is already my wallpaper.

I really like how the fire stirs up ! The shading is perfect !

As for the Mermaid one , the darker version is in my opinion more fitting for the scene.

Grail · « **Reply #624 on:** October 11, 2014, 08:17:09 PM »

Lith, you gotta rename this thread "McDonalds," cause I'm loving it.

I actually hadn't thought much about the merrows' possible hair colors or how their bodies transitions from one half to the other. I like your approach in both cases!
