Description I'm DONE. FINALLY.

50 layers. And I'm finally done. And... I feel motion sick for some reason. x_x;;

Not much to really say about this picture, aside from the fact it took over 12 hours (mnep, not long for some pictures I've seen, but bloody well long ebough for me) and that the colouring was done almost completely dodge/burn. For each area of the picture, I layed down one base colour, then dodged/burned the hell out of it till I got the right tones I wanted. The only item in it that used more than one colour was the wings, but that was because dodging/burning white is kinda useless unless you want icky brown shadows rather than pretty blue one, yes?

As for the subject, 'tis Fayt from Star Ocean 3 (or "Till the End of Time"). Err... I guess my interpretation of the attack Ethereal Blast. Which IMHO is one of the prettiest attacks (and FMVs... *cough*) I've seen, so... yeah.

And I forgot his sword. ><; I realized that AFTER I scanned and started colouring it. Oh well.

Smooth-textured sketch paper, mechanical pencil, Pilot Fineliner inking pens, Adobe Photoshop 6.0, and tablet.

It's visually stunning; that's for sure! The colour scheme and the added effects are what really jump out at me.

I need to take notes on how to make more captivating backgrounds for my subjects.

12 hours though... I need to search deep within myself to attain that kind of patience!

I luffels this so much! It's so pretty ^.^

The feathers, the shading It all looks so great.

The only thing I'd say is that his left arm is a bit to thin (why is is always the left arm? )


+fav!

Great wings and awesome coloring However I find a problem with this picture (and your other character drawings in general) are the fingers are too thin. Work on that and you'll be great
