Description This image started out as a way for me to get more practice on painting faces, and I'm pretty happy with how hers turned out.

I decided to have a shot at painting a background, and I think it looks alright - not great, but I'm still learning in that area. I tend to get so relieved when I finish the character, that I have no patience for the background and go for something simple and dodgy, but I'm going to try and stop doing that now - after all, the only way to improve is to practice.

...has anyone noticed my love of hotpants? I can't stop drawing girls in them. XD

P.s. I hate hands.... >__<

Total time: A fair while - I can never tell how long something takes me anymore, since I tend to read fanfics while I work on the image.

Sketched by hand, scanned and painted on the pc with a wacom graphics tablet. It was done equally in Procreate Painter 7, and Adobe Photoshop 7.

You're really coming along on painted-style! I'm so impressed!

Her hair and face are so alluring, she seems like she's inviting the viewer deeper and deeper into her spells . . .

Thanks Kabuki

I think it gets easier each time I do it - still go a long way to go till I'm anywhere near as good as I'd like to be.

I luffs the womanly curves, drawing girls isn't nearly as fun when they look like twigs. :3

I'm not really a fan of hands because I find them so difficult to draw. :S

At least you're trying & practicing at backgrounds. i don't even remember the last time i did one. O_o This background looks very pretty, though. Gorgeous picture, excellent work, Jigo.

Those are some kickass lighting effects, btw. ^^

moonlitknight [2007-06-12 18:49:10 +0000 UTC]

She looks gorgeous I like the effects on the energy, and her hands are really well done.

Her corset looks fabulous, and I like her tiny pants . They look tight enough to stay on without the belt though to be honest

Tiny shorts ftw! I love those things. XD I think the belt is just decorative.
