So much things to say about this one ...
- ~venuslove gave me the idea to draw a battle spirit. Luna had too much colors, so I prefered drawing Celsius. Moreover ice is greaat :heart:
- But I soon realized purpleish blue, light blue and dark blue was not really the kind of colors scheme I like. And that I would have prefered more different colors. Like Luna's. Oh my.
- Self made colorex dark blue is not great at all. Too greenish. I want pre-made colorex colors. Now.
- Ergo I started to use Sennelier dark blue ink after some time. But this damn ink isn't transparent at all, and it is bugging me so much ! I can't do what I want with it !
- This pic is almost too clean in my opinion. The shadows are all in the same place, since I couldn't play with opacity because of this dark blue ink. I didn't do enough "wet on wet" (wet ink on wet paper). Ergo there isn't enough opacity "play". I really hope it's just because I was stuck with the dark blue ink D:
- Ice is nice to do. But long. Very long. Too long.
- I was afraid not being able to do 'not simple things' any more ( = things which don't have a simple white background with some touches of color on 30% of the paper sheet)
- Obviously, in the end I was annoyed because there wasn't enough white and because I hadn't made touches of colors all over the place. Things I do when I do a simple drawing. Oh my. Gotta love contradictions.

Conclusions :
- Next time I go to Paris, I buy pre-made colorex. At least dark blue and grey :/
- Play more with opacityyyy and weet on weeet.

Anticipation :
- Next ink will be purple. Because self-made colorex purple is love and does lots of nice effects with colors.
- Next ink will be simple. Because I make more wet on wet with simple things.
- Tomorrow I'll stop ranting and I'll be happy of this drawing, because I'm still very glad of it even if I don't admit it here :D

Tools : Sennelier dark blue ink, Ecoline light blue, and colorex for the rest.
Time : I have been on this for two days T__T;; So I'll say 8 hours XD;;
Disclaimer : Obviously Celsius is not mine, but she's Sheena's Namco's since Tales of Symphonia is theirs.

To out-troll a troll, you first need to troll a troll. that makes you a trolling troll that troll trolls.
