I really loved working on this pic, it provided a great opportunity to experiment with light sources and limited lighting. Whether my experimentation turned out good results is for you to decide, but I’m quite happy with it.
There was some confusion on my part in coloring this. You see, DTiberius always uses direct references for his backgrounds, and I knew from experience that I would be able to find this exact skyline somewhere in Batman: The Animated Series. Well, I re-watched the entire series, but couldn’t even find the Wayne building featured. I shrugged and used other building colors to do the skyline, only to later be informed by DT himself that the background here is from DCU Online, not the show that the characters are done in the style of. Well, we had a good laugh and I recolored it. Cool story, huh?
COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 600 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.
I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, I’m rather happy with the pose and I think that (mostly) it turned out well. I also really like all three of the characters in this one. I loved Shirley in Code Geass, most because I have a soft spot for school girl woobies. I like May, too, although she’s second to Misty in my list of Pokémon chicks. Jun was a girl I wasn’t familiar with until I started coloring GodOfChaos’s work, and she pops up a lot in his stuff. So I was good on those fronts.
But I don’t know… something’s off. I know what it is, but I don’t want to point it out in case it’s not as obvious to other people. You should know, though, that if anything here looks a bit weird, it’s because it looked weird in the photo reference I used. I checked and double-checked, and it’s just due to the odd angle or something.
Rather than proper artwork (or even a color job), this is just a simple edit I did of a screenshot from the web series “Gundarr”. All I really did was edit out the girl’s bikini.

It should be noted that I’ve never actually watched My-HiME, and the only reference pic I could find of Yayoi Ota was one lo-res pic. I think I got her basic look right, it’s a simple design, but somehow she ended up looking a bit too old, here. So did Haruhi, for that matter.
This pic marks the first time that I’ve drawn an image, inked it, then decided it’s crap and started over. That’s right, this is a second draft. Now, I’m not terribly happy with how this turned out, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the first draft.
This is an example of how using a giant list of characters can turn out interesting combos. Neither of these characters are very prominent in the works in which they appear. Hell, I could only find one pic of Yayoi (and, like, two of Haruhi). If I was doing this series in any other manner, this pairing wouldn’t have ever come up. Hell, neither character would have ever come up.
Here is the third member of Pai Sakura’s group, Watanabe Chiaki. She is the counterpart to Yamashita Yumi’s Akimoto Kumiko.
Chiaki is part of the kendo team, and is second only to Endou Mihara (the two have been called the “kendo babes” by some of their classmates). She is quick on her feet and has aspirations to one day join the military (she will often respond to requests with a sharp “Roger that!” and a salute). While she has been known to sleep with both Sakura and Mihara, she is actually dating Joshuya Chikuma and Higashikuni Ai (they both seem cool with sharing her).
