Description A self portrait :3 Took about 2 Hours. Done entirely in Paint Tool SAI with my handy dandy Wacom Intuos 4. It's been AGES since I did one of these - it's based off a photo of myself (used for an avatar not that long ago actually...) completely with my current dyed hair color. lol <3 This is the actual size it was painted at.

(c) =DarlingMionette

Why is it upside down?: Cause I wanted to do something different :3

Tutorial Video: [link]

EDIT: Fixed certain aspects of her face to make it less lopsided/asthetically weird when right-side-up. Mouth, nose, eyebrows, eyes, eyeshines, chin, and jawline were moved/adjusted/repainted etc.

XD her eyes mostly, they're still really sketchy XD the whites need to be fixed etc XD and there's a couple of places in her hair where the brush went wayyy off track >.< the rest of the picture just sorts of distracts anyone from noticing XD

The eyes? I think they look fantastic as they are - perhaps actually because of the sketchiness

You're very welcome ( Jaja, really? that's wonderful, however, it may sound wrong saying this, believe me, I love my country, but don't go to Juarez City unless it's absolutely necessary D: It's not a very safe place! )

oh believe me I know! I've been there before when my nephew was kidnapped -_- we got him back, but I make it a point never to travel into juarez, someday i'd like to see other parts of mexico (hopefully safer areas!)

mahoujirou In reply to DarlingMionette [2011-08-09 23:20:42 +0000 UTC]

Ohh God!! he was kidnapped! D: I'm sooo sorry!! I'm soo glad you got him back! yes, please, don't travel into Juarez T_T But believe me, that's the most insecure place of the country, other parts of the contry (specially the South and Mexico City where I live ) Are nice and safe places to visit If you come I'd love to give you a tour somewhere! jaja greetings dear!

ShadowyZman [2011-07-30 00:40:58 +0000 UTC]

Beautifully done I watched the whole video. It's very helpful! I guess I need to make my work look smoother! Although Photoshop tends to look a tad bit rough and it doesn't allow me to rotate as freely.

DarlingMionette In reply to ShadowyZman [2011-07-30 00:54:11 +0000 UTC]

XD i'm a bit of a smooth-freak, so you probably shouldnt be just like me LOL, I like rougher works :3 I just can't seem to do it. haha. SAI does have superior blending tools and rotate features, but it still doesnt have some options that photoshop has ^^

ShadowyZman In reply to DarlingMionette [2011-07-30 02:34:30 +0000 UTC]

Lol yeah I saw the over-smudging But the overall result was very pleasing to the eye. I tend to get impatient with my work. ESPECIALLY with backgrounds. I haven't used much software apart from Photoshop but SAI's smudge definitely looks nice!
