Animu, Games, Words about Nerdery
As sort-of promised, here’s Kaede. The original image had an odd one-cheek-blush thing going on, and it looked quite strange in the trace so I turned it off.
Once again, not sure which of them is next in my sights. Whichever it is, it will put me past the halfway mark. Yay.
I ended up deciding to complete another trace this afternoon, rather than mucking about with my 360. I’m now within spitting distance of being halfway through this project, which is going to be great. I’m thinking I’m pretty much on track to finish about the same time that Negima!? finishes as well.
Seeing as a lot of people have asked for Kaede, I will probably do her next. No promises though.
I got busy over the weekend. Busy sleeping, that is, as the mercury was over 40 on Sunday and it was all smoky and horrible due to massive bushfires in this state. Anyway, I was asked to do Ku Fei last week, so here she is, sporting the appropriate :3 expression, which I must admit to accentuating slightly as it was not nearly noticeable enough in the original.
If anyone’s wondering how I go about selecting these, recently I’ve basically been gathering up the suggestions I’ve gotten since the last girl, then hopping on various IRC channels I haunt and asking which I should do next. Majority wins. Though this does end up meaning that the same few people end up calling it, I don’t really mind. So in other words, keep requesting and I’ll do her eventually. :3
Yeah, I lied. A whole pile of people have asked me to do Mana in the last day or so, and I looked at her eyecatch carefully and realised that there wasn’t a huge amount of work to do - the bulk of the trace is her hair. So here she is, everyone’s favourite gun-slinging cat-eyed demon-hunting mercenary shrine maiden.
I actually hadn’t noticed that Shaft are giving her the same eye style as Evangeline until I started on this - elongated cat-like pupl with ( ) marks around it. Rather than predict which girl I might do next again, I’ll just tell the truth: I’ll do whichever grabs my fancy when I next sit down infront of Illustrator. Which probably won’t be tomorrow night, as my sister has her high school graduation. Oh, the progress page has been updated again too. 
Several people have asked me for Asuna, and I noticed I hadn’t traced anyone from her row on the chart so here she is. This was actually a pretty quick trace, except I spent ages trying to get the panties to look right. I’m still not happy with how they look, but they’re good enough for now.

11 down, by the way. That puts me past 1/3. Yay. Next I’ll probably trace one from the other column of four that I hadn’t touched, which means it’ll be a toss-up between Chizuru, Fuuka, Fumika and Satomi. However I might decide to use some other bit of shaky logic and do something different. I tend to be a bit random.
EDIT: Added manga-style heterochromatic eyes version.
