Description Whew! Finally done!
I'm so proud of this...
After what seems like days of work, I have finally finished the piece. In the beginning, I absolutely hated the background, but as I worked on Trin I found myself liking it more and more. It grew on me like a parasitic fungus. Using my own array of homemade brushes, as well as photoshop's nifty set, I used all of the tablet controls that I know how to manage: size, opacity, hue jitter, and scatter. Also, despite my lack of references, I feel comfortable with the lighting and textures, though the emptiness of the plain leaves much to be desired. Trin as well has her own flaws, but I am happy with the new shading style I have discovered, which has much more flow and texture than before. Also note Trin's reflective zombie eyes. I guess watching all of those detailed speedpaints multiple times helped.

Time: Approx. 4 hours.
This is about the same time that I took on the piece I redid this on: Trinitite: New Markings. Now, I know barely anything correlates. Trin's markings have changed (multiple times), I did not use cell shading, her pose is totally different, and she is not perched on a spire of trinitite. But, I wanted to show my improvement in shading, backgrounds, and layout, which includes posing.

this turned out really great! I love the background and Trin's pose and the shading on her :3
though, i think it would look better if the foreground would stick out a bit more? it kinda melts together with the plains in the background

True. I'll keep that in mind on my next one!
Thanks!

Do you not have one or does it just need reinstalled?
