"Cyber Gun Girl" by:

Here's an image I did last summer during that time without internet, and now that I look back on it I can see all kinds of mistakes. It still looks okay in spite of said mistakes though. This was also painted solely in PhotoShop CS4 before I started using Paint Tool Sai, which had helped me evolve my colouring a bit.

Anyway, this is Xixa, a plant-type alien from the planet Xylem who belongs to ~Dadward . I first learned of Xixa back in...2009 (I met Dadward via one of *InkyBrain 's Livestream sessions) and I've always wanted to draw her. Her design is simple, yet memorable and she more than manages to do both cute and sexy without looking like a whore or jail-bat. I really had fun working on this image, but sadly I didn't have the model sheet for her best friend Pink the Pink Tentacle Monster at the time I drew this (or ANY references for him for that matter), so I had to improvise with some tentacle stocks from =zememz , if only to imply that Pink was there, then the image would be PERFECT!!!

I hope ~Dadward likes this. Here are Xixa's and Pink's Official Model Sheets!

Wow! What an unexpected surprise! I love her pose and how she's hanging in space with tentacles coming out of portals toward her. Brilliant work! Thank you!!!

Dude, you're welcome. I've been wanting to draw her since I first saw her way back in 2009. I only wish I had posted her sooner. Thanks for making such an awesome character. Now if I had only realized that I didn't have Pink's sheet at the time I drew this.

She's an interesting design indeed. Gotta love those futuristic boots. Nice pose and background as well!

I love her design. *Dadward is an animator so her design had to be fairly simple in order to animated easily.

Thanks, and yeah I have. I don't think I can do a tutorial since I experiment a lot on each piece of art I make. ^.^;
