I wonder it they are up to their bargains at the end of Aquaria ... with the big " To be continued... "

will there really be a sequel ?
if so when ?
will we be naija ?

IMHO , i doubt there will be a sequel even tho it says " to be continued... "

It's a pissed-looking Naija! She lost her love and now she's after blood. For Alec <3

Eerie-looking, I like the way the  colours gives the feeling of being underwater. Like a deep-sea fish, if you allow that kind of phrasing  :)

Certainly one of those "if only glance could kill" -expressions...

It's interesting how people see Naija/Aquaria characters in so many ways. I'm currently drawing Naija in energy form, but I have only seen couple works picturing that form/ different forms altogether. Anthony Wu's view of Naijas energy form, for example,  is really impressive.

She is very feral-looking. Definitely eerie. At a glance her expression seems to be very angry and hateful. Looking longer the expression seems stern and determined, yet a bit worn out too. However not murderous. It's like shes on the final run (the body, maybe?) and she's going all out or nothing.

But great work, from all you guys. Very interesting to see what other people see of aquaria. I want get a scanner sometime soon, maybe attempt some more artwork. The bad lighting just really kills the shading.  ;)

Feral is a good word. She started off looking extremely cat-like (before I decided that I was painting Naija) and I think some of that still shows, especially around the eyes and nose.

But yeah, I picture her facing Eric right about here, ready to give it everything she's got or die trying.

I want to do some clean-up work on this. I had a "morning after" moment where I looked at it today and wished I'd held off posting until I had time to go back and fix up the details around the eyes and lips especially. Another time!

I agree, the way her cheekbones and eyes are shaped does convey a cat-like appearance. Also her eyebrows look a little 'furry'.  ::)

Yes, there always seems to be something left to do, doesn't it?  ;D

Wowie. Hi guys! It's me again. Look at all of the swell art. I'm glad the thread still lives.
And so do I! Just short of a worker's comp and a messed up leg i'm good as new and find myself with a bit more free time.
I hope the art doesn't stop!

Good to hear you're all good ArchArbiter. :D

My drawing has been going pretty well recently, but nothing Aquaria related. xD

Oh, I just saw that I haven't commented yet on Nava's pic.
I really love her "Don't mess with me, dipshit!"-gaze. :D

Hm, it has been quite quiet here. I would like to see more works. Especially those close portraits are very interesting.

I finally finished this work - Naija in Energy form. Graphite-work, and I had to adjust colours a bit due to my scanner. Who recognizes this place  :)?



Achieving Energy form - power to destroy- was very exciting moment in the game - it changed monster encounters from "Hell no" to "Hell yeah" - and I found it very amusing how Naija laughs deviously while destroying enemies. Most used form in the game, yet only couple fanart made of it?

I made fan-'art' xD

But yeah, awesome drawing, you have some serious business skills there.
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.
