Student #11 - Kugimiya Madoka

Madoka Kugimiya
1920×1200 | 1600×1200 | ai

Just a quickie, though I spread this out over two two-hour sessions so overall it took 5 days to actually get her done. Quality is a little rough around the edges, but the image itself wasn’t too flash to begin with. Besides, when I still have 13 of these left to do, I have to pick my battles, and the general impression that I’ve gotten is that she’s not a super-popular character so I doubt anyone is really going to mind. This is actually filling a request (you know who you are).

No idea who I will do next, before anyone asks. I’m probably going to save Chao for last since I think her eyecatch is the last one left that’s really good. I may push through a few more of the simpler images next. If anyone has suggestions feel free to post them and I might not ignore them.

    Erm… there seems to be a band of grayish particles near the top of the picture.

    I’m not seeing any artifacts. Perhaps something corrupted on the way to you? Try refreshing.

    I tried. Even cleaning the cache didn’t help.
    They are not artifacts though. More like many tiny random splats of gray pixels.
    I marked them here:

    I’m not seeing anything there, even in your images. Very strange.

    Are you in 32-bit colour? If so, are you on an LCD? If so, it might be that your panel is dithering because it can’t handle enough shades in between the colours in the gradient.

    I guess that must be it.

    Sux to be me, then?
    Though it’s kinda weird all your other vectors show up perfectly.
    I guess my monitor has a problem with that special shade of green. If I change the color tone or even just the brightness of the image slightly, the gray splats are gone.

    Thanks anyway, your vectors are awesome. And you better do one of the whole group to finish the series. :)

    I love Madoka! I want to get a haircut like hers, love to see more of her cuz she isn’t really a main character.
