Now back to the description__________This is a paid Color Commission, to find out more, click here: the-sakura-samurai.deviantart.… Commission for Line art: www.deviantart.com/shoxxe/art/… __________Alright. Hiya everyone, it's my 319th color commission and it's that time of the period where I get to color Acs21's commission involving a character in normal diving gear. Not my thing but expected and it puts money on the board and a lot of people seem to like it. However this time is a little different as while the gear is the same, the series isn't as the past couple of pictures have been Pokemon related. This time it's a new character as it's Tomoko Kuroki from...*looks at the long title*...Okay...*inhales* "No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular" (what is with Japan and having series with really long titles?) and to save myself the headache for the rest of the description I'm going to call the alternative name for the show, WataMote.So this is an interesting character to say at the least. I am very aware about the show itself and this character as I visit websites that focus on popular stuff on the internet and I remember this show and this character being everyone for the time being. I'm guessing it's a good show and all that, never seen it but it's another one of those that I would of enjoyed it. Still it is a show that kind of fell off the radar a bit as not many people talk about it. I'm sure that there are people who have strong memories with these but everyone else is talking about the newest stuff kind of burying it down. I kind of know that feeling but I'm sure that there are dedicated fans out there. As for Tomoko...*shrugs* it's a neat design although I'm not into creepy characters. I mean I get why that's the point to have her look like this and a lot of people love creepy stuff as it's something they can get behind but I'm more into moe stuff than creepy looking characters. Still a nice design and one I don't mind, it's just it's not my taste comparing to other people's option.But speaking of her looks I had a good time coloring her although I do admit I had a hard time picking out the colors for her wetsuit. I couldn't find any decent casual clothes so I stuck with her school outfit and with the colors being kind of muddy I didn't think it would fit too well but sure enough it did, but I can't help but feel like I could of find something else in terms of colors. Speaking of though, for shading normally I have a darker color of the part that I'm shading but turns out in the show the shade of yellow is purple which I thought it was weird but I have to include it due to my coloring policy and well it's surprising how well it works out even if it's odd. I guess the last thing to cover is her head as it's shaded quite differently from other works that I've done with her face with a gloomy look as if she is about to pass out (which isn't the best idea to go diving in that state but whatever). I tried to emulate it as best as I can and well it came out so well that while normally I put a tint effect on the goggles for these types of pictures but this time I won't as like I said, I'm not a fan of covering the face as I want the full expression to show...yet she has a regulator in her mouth so we can't all winBut I do like how this came out. Hope you like it ^^__________Tomoko Kuroki and WataMote__________Picture Concept by Line Art by Coloring by
