Description Avatar Korra, for those of you who've seen the show.
And for those that haven't? WATCH IT.

She's always most associated with waterbending, and I wanted to do something more along the lines of chiaroscuro (high light/dark contrast) than an actual cartoon version of her. The downside was that is took a lot longer than I thought. Around twenty/thirty hours over two weeks.

Oh well, it was a learning experience, I'd love to do other characters in this style for fire, air and earth. Maybe metal? Hunoes.

Photoshop CS6 and Wacom Intuos 4.

Thanks! Although for some reason the image looks a lot lighter inbetween saving it out and uploading it to the web. Probably a colour profile issue, I'll have it sorted later on tonight

ur welcome - the darker blues / greys and black makes for a fantastic dramatic skyline to highlight against.
