Description

My entry for the special round of Artist-Project-Thing's special round: Ryuko Matoi from Kill la Kill. I'll admit I never watched a single episode of that anime, but I like the style and character designs, especially Ryuko.

I've been playing with the thought of doing a grayscale manga page for a while now, and started working on this a few weeks ago with that in mind, but I wasn't really satisfied. So I let it sit on my hard drive and collect some dust there. Then, after HeartGear linked a toning tutorial in the newest addition to her fantastic Suspicious Links series (seriously, go read it, it's great so far), I decided to pick this thing up again. I still have issues with the anatomy being off, but I really like how the manga look came out. I added some more effects to make it look like a scanned page, and it really works. In the future I'll skip that step though, I think. In the end it's extra effort to create lower quality.

I'm not quite sure about the Hiragana I used to represent her 'mmph'-ing. From right to left I went with "N~" and "Mu~". If anyone with better knowledge of Japanese can point out anything they'd do different, I'd be grateful.

I used a paper texture by overdosse.
