Description Rachnera, Monster Musume, and all related elements is © of Okayado and all the copyright holders ie NOT me
This drawing is referenced but I drew it myself and gave it several personal touches(some unwillingly) so take it as you will
Alright! I shaded for the first time in like forever. It is not my favorite shading but everyone seems to love it so yeah... I used a 2B and a 5B for 95% of it just using a 2H for her hair and a few minor touches. Honestly my eraser was invaluable for this whole drawing for the shines and cleaning it(like 100 times...). Her anatomy isn't perfect but it was the best I could pull off. Her pose in the ref was far harder than I initially made it out to be. I intentionally softened her face by massively enlarging her eyes as I wanted her to come off as sweeter like the side she keeps hidden. Then I used some stark hading to highlight her monstrous side giving this nice split of her personality and her reality. She is easily one of my all time favorite characters now and the manga/show are in my top 10 hands down! So with that being said I do love this one despite its flaws. Just finished her tonight! Whatcha think?
If any want more groups: I am willing to join any applicable ones. 
Would love to hear your thoughts. 
Think that is everything. Later everyone!

They're better than the torso and face this time.

I think her face is spot on. The body would be fine if it wasnt elongated like her neck is

MothLion In reply to ClaireSysbit [2015-09-22 04:25:09 +0000 UTC]

I'll take your word for it. Nah just the angle of the torso makes it look like she's in an uncomfortable position.

ClaireSysbit In reply to MothLion [2015-09-22 13:20:00 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't get the pose just right tbh. It was more complex than I first thought hence I simplified it quite a lot. That might account for it. But her body was sorta like that in the ref.

See? That was my ref. i had to change the body as it was too much for me to handle sadly.

All the time. It fails miserably. This one, try pokemon, try unreferenced stuff, etc. all failures

Dude you're supposed to fail, and then you learn from those failures. If you weren't failing you weren't learning.

You don't need to be good to learn from your mistakes, you just need to see the errors and fix them next time.

ClaireSysbit In reply to MothLion [2015-09-24 22:03:48 +0000 UTC]

I know that. But I see them and cant fix them

MothLion In reply to ClaireSysbit [2015-09-25 01:55:06 +0000 UTC]

Cause you're not suppose to fix the old mistakes, you are supposed to avoid the new mistakes by learning about the old ones and improving upon your skills.

You may but tbh I barely get on anymore. I haven't checked my watch feed in months tbh. And watch for watching is a poor way to grow your watchers. Just submit your work and get followers who like you for what you make not because you made a deal.

I haven't been active on AA in a while. I was here years ago(not my first account) and loved it but imo a lot of the community has gone downhill. I have old friends here, meet a few new ones, and upload here. Not too active sadly.

You know, I'm honestly a little surprised to see that you not only watch the anime, but read the manga, as well. I know you said you liked "hidden gem anime/manga", but I never took you for the Ecchi fan. Even Sekirei was a rather reluctant watch, if I remember correctly.

That being said, it's always nice to see fanart of this series, especially with such an interesting twist on the characters. I definitely have to say that Rach-nee is in my top 3 favourite characters on the show. I never thought that her gentler personality being accentuated would look so well, but now that I see it, I must say that it's very befitting of her. The shading is great, as well. I find it very pleasurable to see when an artist uses a technique they normally don't, and this is no exception.

ClaireSysbit In reply to b133d4u [2015-09-21 13:44:08 +0000 UTC]

Mt tabu towards ecchi faded years ago lol. I love HOTD, DxD, and Musume all in like my top 10. The more you know lol.
I rarely shade as I sorta suck at it and it is time consuming. But people besides me seem to like it so I might more often. Idk yet. But glad you like her so much and had so much to say about her.

b133d4u In reply to ClaireSysbit [2015-09-21 16:18:16 +0000 UTC]

Haha well, that certainly is good to know.

And you always said you liked it when you got coherent, in-depth responses to your work.

she is from Monster Musume. It is a currently airing anime this season as well as a more recent manga91-2 years old tops) that just caught on when the anime was released. 
I love her character tbh
