This is one of my original characters that I did way back at 2003 when I was first designing character for my manga to be "The First Moon" but got halted indefinitely bec. of work.
anyway this is the first design and prototype of the character "maitreya" that I submitted and in my gallery 2 years ago. I still like the outcome of the design so I re-done her into this updated portrayal retaining almost everything out of the original work. Hence the "original" in the title.
the tools....
technical pen .45 .50
drawing paper
laptop Photoshop cs2 for cleanup
