Description
I did this purely in Photoshop for about 5 nights with my new Wacom tablet.I wanted to make a new Ghost concept and at the same time practice with my tablet. So I created a different version of the original StarCraft Ghost. Aside from the standard Ghost arsenal, she packs a psi-blade reverse-engineered from Protoss tech.
Made in Adobe Photoshop CS5. The image shown here is half the original size. You can download for full-size.

Really a cool and beautiful idea
Only problem is is that those were created due to psychic abilities, then again ghosts have those, so she's ok XD

Great! Wish i could draw that good. Going to make it in 3dmax?

Yup. Someday when I got the time. There are still a few things in the concept that has room for improvement.

Cool. By the way, wanted to ask if you do any animations for the characters you make in 3dsmax?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I used to. But since I started modeling with higher and higher detail my render times became too long and entire animations of just 10 seconds took 2 days to render.

The abdomen isn't the only thing that's sloppy, really. The hair crunchy is slightly offset. And there are also stray brush strokes that could have been easily cleaned up. It doesn't matter really because I'm gonna do better next time.

Really nice, for the metal texture did you use an overlayed photographed metal texture then with a mask limited it to the metal components? If not then that is some serious free hand there man! All of this is really good but this being in my own realm I have to be nit picky with the adoman looking rather sloppy specifically the highlights. Sorry dude, just had to point it out. Using a large soft blender would fix it nicely.

Looks great! Although from a technical point of view (nerd alert) shouldn't a terran ghost have a very limited (if any) control over a psi blade as they just wouldn't have great enough psychic ability to use one?

I got the inspiration from a demo video of StarCraft Ghost once. Nova wielded a weapon called a "psy-blade" which was a handheld weapon with the appearance of a crescent-shaped axe. It was reverse-engineered from the Protoss psi-blade. I figured the ghost could altogether have a wrist-mounted blade for quick melee strikes..

Oh ok xD well if she can have an axe then she can definitely have a wrist blade. You should do this in 3d now, it would be epic!

I'm definitely going to make this in 3d someday once I get the concept looking just the way I want it. Right now I still have lots of quirks to fix

Self-taught?
Otherwise only the shape mask looks somewhat off to me, rest is superb.

Self-taught as usual. Though I have to admit my 5 years of Photoshop experience helped a bit

Beautiful, just beautiful. I remember the craze about Ghost all too well, and although the book was terrible there's so much that could be done with another ghost character in the universe, storyline wise.

I thought the book was pretty good. Though it could've had less focus on Nova's time in The Gutter.

I hear you, but I felt the grade of writing was fairly sub-par; Decandido's writing style is very repetitive, with bland and unvaried sentence structure and phrasing; the way he used parenthesis struck me as a very amateurish way of conveying information as well and that didn't help. I also felt that Nova also cut it pretty close to "Mary Sue" territory for a number of reasons (calamities, super powers, big tragedy we all saw coming, mastered something unbelievably fast, little useful character development, and the list goes on...). Sure, I think there were some interesting ideas presented in the book, mainly the very classist society and separation of love and marriage, but it's not like that hasn't been done before, and he could have expanded on it much more. I also would have liked to see Nova develop over time into a battle-hardened killer, instead of just having the narration gloss over the time and show the end result. They also justified, or more like hand-waved this with a technobabble solution, which I don't like. Nova could be an interesting character, and a story about fallen noble's journey that would transform her into a ruthless, remorseless killer really appeals to me, but they could have gone much further and executed it much better. Hopefully, the game will be able to pick up where the book didn't.

LoL. I totally didn't expect that. XD
I'm not an avid novel reader. I've read a very few novels, in fact. I only read starcraft books to get to know more about the lore. But now that you've mentioned it, I have to agree with your criticism on the novel. I might wanna write my own story one day

I like how it's a combination of the original Starcraft Ghost, The lady from the Canceled Starcraft Ghost game, and Protos's Zealots. Also quite surprisingly good lighting, and the textures on the armor are quite fantastic!

By the way: The lady from the canceled Starcraft Ghost game is called Nova, and she appears in Starcraft 2.
