Character design study, female, Mei from Kapow Express.

Character design study, female, Mei from Online Manga Kapow Express comics.

Here is some sketch of one of the main characters, Mei. I just decide to take a hyper-realistic take on her and see what she would look like if she were to made in 3D or realist approach. Of course, I cannot put this kind of style into the current Kapow Express Manga. Because it would take forever.

This one took me about two hours or so. The process is very confusing because I forgot to merge some of the steps so... sorry guys. It's unfinished as usual.

Mei, Kapow Express Manga Comics:

figure, art, nurse, body, breasts, cartoon, comics, concept, design, drawing, face, girls, how to, illustration, manga, sexy, sketch

Somebody says "Angry"? :) Dahaca!!!

luca> Thanks bro, this one I just scribble around without any intention of making tutorial...just letting it go once in a while. No recording, no distraction of saving multiple files. Just keep it flow. :) So too bad, no tut...sorry. I wish.

ricardo> Thanks buddy! I try to get out of my head once in a while. But it's still far from perfect. :)

Haha. Good work with making her angry. It looks a lot more like her now.

I really like it when you leave it almost deformed at the edges. The rendering is impressive.
Luca said…
Ah xia she's still very beautiful! You're AWESOME brother!

Keep it up!

Dahaca> Thanks brother, I just put some attitude into her. Now, I don't want to be near her either. ;)

aerobug> thanks buddy! I am trying to make her looks CG. It's getting there, I am going to possibly finish it.

Pokepetter> Thanks brother, yeah...stay away from girl with attitude. They are not as good as it looks. :)

Luca> Thanks brother. I will try to finish her up a bit more on the coming post. :)
