Description Click for larger view!

Here it is, finally finished. I had a lot of fun with this piece. Kind of want to keep working on it, but it's time to let it be done.

Entirely painted from imagination; no references used. There were a few points throughout the painting process where I wanted to look up reference for the water, but I decided to stick it out and paint it myself. I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

This was a commissioned piece for a private client. Batgirl copyright DC comics.

Here is an up-close detail shot: [link]

I post a lot of sketches and doodles on there that I don't post here.

Thanks for viewing!

All that time on the water droplets was definitely worth it, you did a really convincing job. Did you do separate studies of the water droplets before you started this piece or did you just guess how it would look like? Love how you rendered the suit too.

HoustonSharp In reply to jessicasalehi [2012-03-02 03:11:24 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And nope, no separate studies. I just tried it out. Failed the first couple times for the streaks of water and the drops falling off of her body, but I think I got it decently after a few tries.

And thanks! The way I rendered the suit actually came about fairly late in the painting process. One of the last things, along with the water.
