Ladies Like Rock 'n' Roll - LLR'n'R
#6 in a series

*Dedicated to my friend Hana, for loving ICO and for supporting us when ½ of me was hospitalized.
I appreciated it as much as, if not more than, you appreciated ICO, and I know that's alot. :)

Colored Version!

Aw yes. Yorda.
If I had to pick on, only one, video game Lady that would represent all that is good and completely perfect in character design and feelin' it would be Yorda, and it is.
She's the best.
I mean, she has like 6-7 lines in the game (wich is Fumito Ueda's masterpiece ICO btw for you poor sods out there who have yet to play it, go and buy it, now) but she says way more than that by just, being.
ICO is alot about feelings, and alot of those are "yorda-related", you protect this girl, she's weak and vulnerable, but still very strong (she's almost twice of Ico's heigt damn it xD poor guy dragging those 3t boxes around)
And she's so distant, walking around, looking at birds, or what not, plus the rather weird and funny AI programming (yorda's gone, what again?) wich for example makes her climb ladders with an average speed of a snail.
But it all adds to the mix of this perfect girly girl. Don't let her go, cause she'll definately run away :P
And god knows you care about her, because you know, all the time, that she wouldn't make it alone.
Damn Shadow Beasts!

Alot of the stuff above is indescribeable in words, you have to play the game to get my point, part ont the point being a major part of this piece tho. Yorda's got a guitar alright, but anyone could tell (I hope) that this is an alien object in her hands, my intention was to make this look like she found that guitar somewhere and carries around for a reason unknown :P Absent minded etc. She doesn't know how to play or anything ofc :)

If, however, she'd know how to play it she would play "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple, cause that's what Ico and Yorda are. And "The March of the Black Queen" by Queen for an encore!
(play Ico and you'll find those titles as perfect as I do :P)

The Guitar is actually a 4-string bass :P "Cream White" finish (does not exist, I know), not that you can tell until the color version comes around. Ico logo on it,aswell as some "yorda language" and a "Sayonara" in japanese, means good bye, duh. Play the game and you'll know why that phrase makes you go ;_;
Why is Yorda playing the bass? Because she's waiting for Ico to play the lead! (heh!?)

First pic in the series to feature a "background" of sorts, had to do Yorda walking in some stairs, kinda characteristic for the game, one of the first stairs you'll "meet" in the game too that one. Shadow Beast smudgey blackness there too. Some of you might recoginse it, early in the game really. I would anyways. I have a friend's fanart of it on my wall :P

As usual, sketchy lines first, then inked, and the color :)

*Ico is one of the best games ever made. Top 5 anyday.
**Play it, now.
***Those feet turned out kinda nice, I don't draw feet too often (always draw to damn low on the paper!), much less bare feet, but kinda nice for first eh.
****Ol' sketchy versions can be found here
