Fan Art Character: Alita

[Shaykai]

Wow fantastic piece. Is that from an anime? My only critique would be maybe add some motion blur and make the trench coat be more effected by the air rushing past it as she does her cartwheel.
Also her hair could be more effected by gravity as well. Maybe have some loose strands flying around. just a thought. all in all a good piece.

Very nice, my only complaint is that her arms appear to be a bit short. Other than that, good job. :D

Why isnt the hair hanging down, I think it should, correct me if am wrong.

Thanks, the reason the hair is not falling down is a simple fudge, I dont know the character of Alita well enough to show that it is her without her normal hair, so the bob she keeps.

Gally(er, Alita) is also an android, so I think that hair physics can be fudged a wee bit. =P

[Pantmonger]

True there is that also. :)

Mainly I just did t cause I liked the character, and her hair is important to the way she looks.

It's the wind, I say. Because she's falling downward the air is pushing her hair up. If it were hanging down it would look more like a static pose. That could be your official excuse.

Also, did anybody look at the making of stuff on the 2 disc Final Fantasy dvd set? More specifically the animatics for the zero G scene where they actually had her hair affected by the lack of gravity and it looked really really really awful.

Sometimes you have to fake physics so it doesn't look like crap. =P

Thanks guys, Im glad people like it enough to make excuse for her hair for me, thanks.
