[fanart] Shannon

Jeez, I'm just barely skating in under the deadline. This week's is Shannon Casull from the novel-turned-anime, Scrapped Princess. Yet another anime I never watched till the end. Frankly, once the dystopian future, save the world from aliens part of the storyline started in, I lost interest. Must every anime have the giant mecha?

What I liked most about Shannon is his hairdo, specifically the tail :D I'd forgotten what a pain hair is to paint and I think I overdid the shininess :P I also took off his armour/outfit-thing. There's cool-looking outfit, then there's fiddly as all hell to draw. What was the character designer on? I'm surprised the animators didn't object.

Of the rest of the characters, Pacifica was stereotypically annoying, Raquel was the stereotypical older sister and the rest didn't really register. I was tempted to do a picture of Raquel's kick-ass magic effect but I don't think a still would look so good; what kicked most ass about it was the animation, really.
