I'm wondering if this was made from Custom 3D girl.. It really looks familiar, and the lines are all jagged... Then the artist photoshoped it to look more 2D-ish and added some effects...
You often see these with some artists (see Initial D for an example). I do think he used a photo as a base though, as the posture looks quite hard to replicate...
the face doesn't fit with the body, that happens when the body is draw in a realistic way.
There are things of the Anime that when are carried to the reality they fail.
example:
-Movies
-clothes
-hairstyles
-situations in the manga(including ways of acting)
-etc,etc..
MIO IMPOSTOR! The real Mio would be in the fetal position, shaking, crying, and muttering about how she can no longer get married if something like this happened to her.
Nice, nice, very nice! Good concept, and good drawing. Only problem I have with the picture is that the bikini bottoms do not really resemble proper bikini bottoms...
Yeah, it seems pretty clear that the artist either traced the neck-down pose from some other source (gravure photo?) and then drew the head, or that the head is pastede on yey, as it were.
Also, if that's a nip slip I spy there, it proves the artist isn't really familiar with real live breasts, either-- either the nipple can be there OR it can fill up that bikini as it's doing, but not both.

I'm only speculating btw...
but it looks good in my opinion...

thanks for the link.
I can see that the artist used the good old "horizontal flip" to subtly hide his tracing method.
Interesting...
Pool's closed. She can stay though.
I dunno what you guys are nagging about, I love the pic.
same
she doesn't look embarassed enough!

Does ANYBODY else here see the nipple slip?
Mio my love...
Now she'll never find a husband!
Look no further. If no other man wants her, I would marry her.
Too bad; I want her =P
The tanlines are gonna be a bit further inward... ;)
Good thing I'm all for Ritsu.
Raise the fukken flag, you bastards!
fapfapfap
Something does not feel right
still fappable, though.
Nice, nice, very nice! Good concept, and good drawing. Only problem I have with the picture is that the bikini bottoms do not really resemble proper bikini bottoms...
her head does look a little retarded
Nicely done. Do we get to see the other cast as well?
Rather pleasant malfunction, still, could be better... :3
*pastes Yui's head with PS* WIN!
Yui > Mio
Mio > Mio
that´s like dividing by zer...
OH SHIT!!!
Indeed. But copy pasta Yui's head don't really seem appropriate here.. She's too air-headed to look so serious xD
Mugi owns everyone. Literally.
Mio > Yui
Ritsu > everyone else
Mio rules all, period
"Me" yo > "You" wee
But somehow... I like both of them...
Somehow it's like Yui and Mio are destined for their names contain the English words "You" and "Me"...
"Yo" and "Wee" too right?
YUI X MIO FTW!!!
My Photoshop makes miracles. (´∀`)
FAIL
It's Mio's show, Yui is just a background character, like Yui's friend and Yui's sister and that old lady in episode 1.
old lady?
THIS ISN'T GANTZ .... oh the joy of hating the anime and fapping to the manga ....
Interesting how they reflected the pool tiles in her eyes.
Tastefully done. *nosebleed*
+1
Yes, nice reflection effect.
However, the outline of her body, particularly her face, looks "jaggy". Looking at the largest-size picture provided doesn't fix this.

The artist needs to fix the jaggies before playing with cool reflection effects.

Pool? What pool? Can't see any... Oh, wait...
If you stare at the picture long enough you'll begin to see the pool
the pool is a lie...
we all are lies...
ur a lie
shopped
WTF?
This is an anime/manga character and you were expecting what, an "original" photograph?!
what I meant was it's not an original artwork, it's something else with mio's head shopped in
It screams "I used a photo and traced." All there is to it.
hard to see but i agree
dugg down cuz it sucks

We didn't start the flawewar [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QyYaPWasos]
uh ye, back on topic.. nice pic, seems she's too lost in thought to care about her bikini bottoms.
Deathsponge Notepants
...i lol'd.
WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA
+1 for the famous flamewar vid.
Bikini bottoms... o_____________O
agreed, it looks like someone else drew the head, the shading, line strength, etc doesn't match the body at all
