Description 7/12/13
Maya From Borderlands 2 Print (FINAL)
It was brought to my attention that the previous version had some issues regarding text and composition.

1) I changed my signature from white to light blue to unify the piece better
2) I chose to delete the text since Maya is the focus and the text was distracting
3) I implemented the Vault Hunter symbol from the game
4) I also deleted the text because I assume that the people who would purchase this print already know this is, so it was a bit unnecessary.

This is my first official digital artwork.

Done in Photoshop CS6
Thanks for the support everybody!

Hey AeroHybrid thanks! I'm thinking of getting to some other BL characters sometime as soon as I finish all the other characters in my queue, 'cause I really want to do another Maya

Ah, is that a quote? It sounds familiar.


and I'm currently working on a Lilith print right now and I think it's coming out a bit better. Hopefully you'll think the same/better of Lilith than Maya : P

notanartist7 In reply to IsaacCabrera [2013-08-12 14:51:54 +0000 UTC]

You're right, it's an unused quote of Handsome Jack when he first met the Vault Hunters, describing them and their abilities. Β I quoted something similar to what Jack said about Maya.


As for your Lilith print, I can't wait to see it. Β If you made a good Maya then you are definitely going to make an awesome Lilith.Β

And thanks! I'll be putting it up relatively soon.

Haha xD


With the help of my artsy friends, I've been slowly learning about how to use photoshop and I felt sort of comfortable with the basics so I started this up! I'm working on a Lilith print now and I wanna go back to the Maya one and redo parts of it, but I guess that just comes with improvement.


Thanks for the compliment though! (At least I took it that way haha)

SuriFox1 In reply to IsaacCabrera [2013-08-07 13:25:52 +0000 UTC]

Yes xD It was a compliment. I taught myself PaintTool SAI and I've been at it for 2 years. I still stink like crazy xD that's why I was mildly surprised (In a good way xD). Good luck with Lilith. I know you'll do MUCH better than I did and mine is only in it's sketch phase. Hopefully I can phase shift it to look better some day xD

We all have to start somewhere right? I'm still getting the hang of photoshop, so I have long ways to go compared to masters like Jonas De Ro and Dan Luvisi. Let me know when you put your stuff up!

ThePhoenixKing [2013-07-29 05:09:48 +0000 UTC]

Very nice work, you did a really great job here. The colouring, use of detail (particularly the little scales on her suit) and tone are all wonderful. The only place where I could see improvements being needed would be her left hand, it looks like the fingers are missing, instead of folded under her hand. Still, very good job all around.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

IsaacCabrera In reply to ThePhoenixKing [2013-07-29 05:19:38 +0000 UTC]

Understandable. I tried to emulate the style of the game with the thick harsh outlines and perhaps the outlines of the fingers didn't exactly convey the folding of the fingers and just melded altogether, however thanks for the criticism. I enjoy crticism when it is indeed that, and not just flaming.Β

Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback, seeing as you've done some amazing digital arts. Also, thanks for taking your time to check out the piece 'cause a lot of people would just ignore that.


I'm not too sure if I'll do the transformation thing though. I might take artistic license and say that it's okay for now haha.

nice color selection for the background and I see you already know how to warp and mask textures You're already ahead of the curve!

IsaacCabrera In reply to Radiant-Grey [2013-07-14 20:12:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Nick! I really hope in the coming months I start to build a product catalog like yours. I actually started my first digital art practice messing around with brushes and opacity by trying to emulate your Elizabeth print like the way charcoal works, carving and adding. After practicing a bit I decided to try and start building my own catalog so I can open my own storenvy or etsy. And as for warping textures, I had some of my friends teach me a little bit. I have so much to learn!

I primarily used this brush set from RezKhan:Β rezkhandimech.deviantart.com/a...


No tweaking necessary, just grab the bottom brush (called 'blocking and all') and go for it! Maybe just turn down the opacity setting (like 15 percent) to see what kind of build up effect you can get, and enjoy!
