Description
Well... been quite some time I haven't posted anything. I was actually active, working on something more original than my previous work: meet Firefly, an original character coming straight out of my mind!This piece marks a new milestone for me. It took quite some time to make, as I was learning a new way of drawing - lighting before colors, not the other way around! Took some time getting used to, but it was worth it!
Many thanks to fellow artist friend for his help showing me that technique, and for pointing out errors I was making. Check out his work, it's great!
PS. Redheads are the best!
Drawn with Cintiq 13HD in Photoshop CC

Serious question...is this your day job? And if it isn't...why the hell isn't this your day job?

Haha, no, it's not my day job, just a hobby ^^
And to answer the second question, I don't think I'm good enough yet for drawing to become my day job. I still have a LOT to learn.
I guess I'm getting there though, slowly, one step at a time
Thank you for the comment!

Very nice composition! You're right the lighting is so much more realistic(the highlights for the metal and diffuse lighting on cloth) great work!!

The face is great! I also really like the sparks in her magic!!

Thanks! At first, I intended the magic to be electric-based. But I changed my mind while drawing, because the orangish-red seemed to fit better the mood of the picture... and because of the name that got stuck in my head while making this, "Firefly"
