Artist's Comments

Yeah, uh. It's been a while. Say hello to Natia, female villainess from the game Bomberman Hero for N64. She has a pet one-eyed laser-firing robotic spider named Cronus, and when she's not busy siccing him on Bomberman, she's hurling knives and whipping the hell out of anyone nearby. Also, she has an annoying laugh.

-Ewwwww. I hate the way the whip turned out. I suspect this is partly due to me BSing it on the computer (since originally this wasn't intended to be a CG, it was a sketch that happened to turn out fairly cool) and partly because I have no skills. Lawlz.

-And I need to work on my shading. It's supposed to be a mix of soft and hard shading, but the soft shading always turns out messy and crappy. The top of her head is way too sharp in contrast to the other parts of her. I was going to leave this just at hard cel-shading, but then decided to get some practice in. And, uh...yeah. I need the practice.

-I wish I could do more dynamic poses. Not that this pose isn't dynamic, but every time I do a pose that's action-y like this, it's always a few degrees short of being truly dynamic and energetic. Here, I think I could have done a lot better if I distorted the arm that's holding the whip a bit and did more exaggerated foreshortening. I was trying for it in the original sketch, but it totally didn't come across that way.

-Eff this background. I just didn't want a stupid gradient like with my two previous CGs.

-I really do hate the shading on her face.

You know, Misty from Bomberman Jetters is like the bastard child of Natia and Lilith - she has Natia's feline features but Lilith's occupation and outfit.

^^ Hehe, I remember Natia. She was tough to beat in the time limit. x-x You pointed out a lot of small errors in the picture, but really, overall, it looks really great. I really like the stance of her legs, since it really adds to the dynamic-ness.

O__O omg Bomberman 64 fanart. I used to be obsessed with that game. It took me forever to beat Natia...especially on Garaden.

I really like that pose, and honestly, I didn't notice the little errors until you pointed them out. The picture's strong enough that it still looks awesome in spite of any minor errors that might be there (and some of them I didn't see even when you pointed them out). I think the whip turned out nicely.

Natia wasn't too hard on Mazone, and in fact she was easier for me on Garaden. Dealing with Cronus, however, was an entirely different story. >_>;;

I think that was the main problem I had with that boss fight. Of course, it could have just been that I generally failed at that game. -__-;

I don't even think I ever beat it all the way through...I never beat the last boss. I should do that sometime.

I was able to beat the whole game, match all the target scores (including the ones on Gossick), and beat all the minigames. Unfortunately SOMETHING happened in the time between when I first completed that task and when I picked it up again because that file seems to be irretrievably lost... ;_;

>___< I HATE that. It happened to me, too, though not on Bomberman. And it was right at the final boss, too. What *was* it about those cartridges? Was this what "replay value" was, back in the day?
