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.

How did you use mask overlays in this piece? Masks are one of the great mysteries of Photoshop to me, haha.

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!

Awesome picture. I love his troublemaker grin.

Photoshop is a very emotional program. It's sometimes worse than a pregnant woman, imo. :XD: The colors turned out great on this, and I like the texture additions. What properties/masks were you playing with?

wow, he looks way more badass here compared to his "OMGI'M A THEIFANDIMBOYISH" vibe that he emits in the game

Speed paints are fun, no pressure at all 8D

Nicole... the blending is nice, but what is up with his left arm? What happened to it LOL? Maybe you're trying to stylize the anatomy, but... that's just WAY too much. It looks like his muscles are melting or something, and it just doesn't look proper at all. You might want to review your anatomy.

His left arm has been pointed out numerous times already. XD
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!

Oh really? I didn't see anything regarding the arm, so I pointed it out. :S
