At long last, I actually got done with an old drawing I said I was going to do for someone. Yay! The original request was for Midna to be sitting on the Fused Shadow helm gazing up at the moon with a grassy plain in the background.

The moon was supposed to be shown, but I couldn't get it to "work" for this drawing, so now it's only present as a reflection in Midna's eyes. I still feel like it's pretty rough, so I'm considering going back and doing a color version, but that's a venture for another day. Now to work on some other things. >_>

Midna is copyright of Nintendo... and wasn't originally going to have her hair unbound (but I like how it turned out anyway ^_^ ).

My god, this is just...amazing! Definitely the best Midna drawing I've seen. It looks so realistic! This is now one of favorite drawings of all time. Did you use 3D models as reference?
Anyway, I already love this black and white version, but can't wait for the colored one anyway :)
Oh, and I think I remember this request you're talking about. It was someone on Midna Fan Forum that requested it, right?

Oh wow, many thanks to you. I'm really happy you like it so much. :aww:

I didn't use any references on this one, aside from checking some screenshots to understand the general shape of her face. Kinda stupid of me- that partly accounts for the inaccuracies.

I'm looking forward to the colored one too. It'll certainly look less rough than this version. =P

And yep, this started as a request from Azu on MFF. Don't think he's seen it yet though.

You could just ask Maccollo to pose the Midna model for you XD But there isn't any inaccuracies in your pic, it looks perfect. For some reason, black & white pictures really attract me :)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it'd be best if I were to figure it out rather than pose the model. The goal being to know the form well enough to draw it off the top of my head, accurately. Maccollo's models are awesome though. =D

Her torso is a little stretched, and the neck's at a weird angle, but mostly what I meant by "inaccuracies" was the screwed up body patterning; the runs on the ears, arms, and legs. Didn't bother checking a reference.

Black and white work has a certain stark richness (yay, oxymoron!) to it that I enjoy. But now for colors... I'm working on an in-depth, extremely realistic Midna face drawing right now (looks decent thus far) so I can understand the process better; the color version of this one might have to wait a bit.

I know what you mean, being able to draw something off the top of our head is always best to improve.

Hm, yeah, her torso is a little stretched, but her neck seems ok. It is a little to long, though.

Hah, almost no one bothers to look for reference on her runes anyway, so don't worry about that XD And they're not that inaccurate.
