Description
Phew this babe was certainly a challenge...The hardest part was to mix the realism of cg
with my still undeveloped style and doing
my best to make her LOOK like Lightning
I picked her in-battle pose, it looks sooo dynamic! <3
I tried some new techniques for the coloring
on this one, took me a while though since
I messed up the layers a few times lol.(Lazyness XD)
I hope you like it!
It was fun and challenging for me in the long run
*(YES I'm aware Light is right handed but
I wanted her to hold the sword with her left hand
that has the glove, looks sexier that way imho
Outline drawn and colored in Photoshop CS4/Intuos 4
Time taken: About a week, 2-3 hours per day
Music: Various but mostly this one

Nicely done i find lightning very hard to do because of the large amount of details on her clothing it can drive u insane. I'll say only thing i dislike is that her lips look a lil weird but overall awesome job!

Thank you!
Tell me about it! It was seriously frustrating and I witnessed firsthand >.<
About the hips, yes maybe you are right 'cause the cloth may not "sit" well, otherwise I've done my best on the anatomy

Huh, i thought her hair was shorter... must be my weird imagination then. She looks a little more... valley-girl than badass here, I think it's the pink lipstick and slightly vacant expression.

It is!
You can't believe how many variations of her her I've seen lately,
it's just confusing lol so I picked the hair from FF XIII- 2,
it's slightly longer there
