Did They get Bigger?!

Description

Like most of the worthwhile works in this gallery, this is a colored version of somebody else's sketch. In this case, the sketch was done by KittyHawk, commissioned as part of her most recent Sketchfiend project. This work features two characters from her external webcomic, Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki. You can find the original sketch on her blog in this post.

Apparently Yuuki is still coming to terms with having a body designed by a fertility goddess.

The plot of the webcomic is straightforward: Kanazuchi Yuuki was a boy who lived by himself and spent most of his time pursuing Magical Girl anime. In these pursuits, he came across a magic DVD containing Hermod, who insisted on making a magical girl out of the first thing he saw. From there, the webcomic has followed Yuuki's various misadventures as he attempts to convince the Norse pantheon to return things to the way they used to be.

The comic updates sporadically, but when it does, it adds several pages at a time; it's essentially a webcomic published in episodes instead of in strips.

As with most of the rest of my gallery, the software used is Inkscape, an open-source vector graphics program. If you click the "Download" button to the right of the upper-right corner of the picture, you can get the source file in .svg format. Note that, although Inkscape uses a graphical interface, .svg data is stored as an XML document, and thus may not display as a picture on your browser. It might not display correctly anyway, as the format is not widely adopted. As such, not all of its features are uniformly implemented by all viewers.

The big problem that the .svg file viewers have is that not all of them render KittyHawk's signature correctly. You can tell in the .png version that I did something simple with transparency, just for fun. However, Firefox and Opera both simply omit the signature entirely. I asked KittyHawk about it, and she said it'd be OK. I thought this would be the case, since I figured most people would only ever see the .png version anyway. Which is a shame, since I included a special feature for anyone who wants to download the .svg file and turn off some of the layers in the image...
