Thanks for the feedback haha!!

NeatNit, what would you suggest I do differently? :] Right now I'm trying to work my way out of an anime style, but I'm caught in some weird limbo between that and...i don't even. hahaha!

I've never made a wallpaper before, Pelar, but if I get inspired, I'll post it. I've been meaning to do some short comics first...

General / Re: Aquaria should be made into a movie.

W00, can't wait for Prince of Persia. I'm sure I'll be disappointed somehow, and I'm not a fan of Jake Gyllenhaal, but the previews looked alright! I loved those games cough Except when they got rid of the voice actor for Prince in the second and third one x( and like, all of the characterization...

Anyway, before I get seriously off topic (too late?), I think Aquaria would be an interesting movie, though I'm not sure I can envision it well. The game just has so much. The movie, if it were all live-action, would have to be 99% CGI and wow, expensiiive. As for an animated movie? Well...maybe. I don't watch a lot of movies myself, so I can't even offer a respectable studio. Maybe Miyazaki should do it. He's a giant feminist, and since Naija is the main character, and a female, he's halfway there. (I sound so ignorant. I promise I'm not, I go to an all-girl's college.) I like what he did with Howl's Moving Castle, in general, he changed it up a bit, but movies always do that. I think his visuals would be interesting. Maybe it's because I'm thinking of the opening scene in Ponyo, with all of the undersea creatures.

Although I'm sure he'd change the ending somehow so everyone lives happily ever after. Hahaha

Me too, love this game. I love the art and the plot and the atmosphere. It inspired me to draw fanart! And let me tell you, it takes a miracle for that to happen. A freakin miracle.

I've been lurking for a while, and decided to share some art I recently made. I was considering making more Aquaria fanart to help me get better at using the tablet. I have til college starts back up.

and here's the image in case you'd rather stay away from devart (I don't blame you.)


It was originally a full-figure image until Photoshop quit on me too many times and I got tired of painting the same things over again. (I know, I know, save your progress...) But other than that, it was fun to make. It leaves one wondering...is she waving? swimming? dancing? we may never know. lol
