Emiko Variation Number III

This one is definately my favorite. It feels like she's in some sort of western movie poster or something... I dunno. I was frowning at the first two versions that I colored- I didn't like having to go over everything and clean it all up. With this version, I just took the original line art, darkened it, added some colors, and ran it through the watercolor option. It may be a little bit morbid, but I have to say that this one seems to capture the mood of the story, of Claude and Emiko, and their particular bit of the tale.

Emiko begins the story as a very sweet girl, a foreign exchange student from Japan, and is Tiara's best friend. She meets Claude one day, not knowing that he and Tiara have already locked horns and become enemies. Emiko becomes torn between her friend and her boyfriend, and in the process, becomes a killer. No, not quite cold-blooded, but she's quite effective. Oh yes, the gun she's trying to hide is one of Claude's.
