Zidanne, lead character from Final Fantasy 9.
I wanted to practice Mask overlays and Layer Properties on Photoshop for this one, I didn't care too much on detailing D: I'm sorry!! These tools weren't as fun as painting all the colors by hand, but they're /certainly/ useful for when I lack time. I'm gonna practice it often~
I think Photoshop and I have a love and hate relationship; one minute, I love it very much, the next, I feel like punching it with my fists.
And I'm not too familiar with FF9, but I like how this is a littler edgier from all the other FF9 art that I've seen. The colors are great as well!
I love it >3*favs*
And the anatomy.. it fits with the style
Photoshop is a very emotional program. It's sometimes worse than a pregnant woman, imo.
Speed paints are fun, no pressure at all 8D
I have troubles with muscle anatomy sometimes, and it shows. I never think about the concepts or anatomy while drawing because my style is more spontaneous than technical. The best remedy I could think of in order to not repeat the same mistake again is to observe and draw muscle structures almost daily so that it becomes second nature.
Thanks a lot for your input though, I'm happy that you took the time to comment!
