Description
CLICK DOWNLOAD FOR FULL 1280x1024 px VIEWWhen I was on the midway completing Motoko Kusanagi in this artwork [link] , I came to realize that her face was almost similar to Lightning's face... I kept on staring and staring until like "hmm... why not I use the same model and make her into Lightning?"
And from there I start changing her hair style, do some heavy modification in her face, put her outfit on and... TADA! It turned out as I planned.
But the background isn't what I was expecting... What I planned at initial was to building up my own imaginary Cocoon city in the night. Well, due to my lack of creativity, it turned out like... Ah, what the hell... I just use up the bird view screenshot of Cocoon City and put it as background LOL
Enjoy anyway!
[Edit - 8th April 09]
I've have re-polish the whole image into more 3D look and make the color deeper and vibrant. At the same time, the title has been changed into simpler version and placed beside Lightning.
Material Used:
Adobe Photoshop CS2/ CS3
Wacom Graphire 4
Completion Period: 2 months? (Seemed that I'm procrastinate again ^^")
Character Design: Tetsuya Nomura © SQUARE ENIX CO. LTD

Thank you, thank you! 
Well, I used to have lack of patience. But since it's a part of key success, I have no choice but to put into myself. In other words, patience also make perfect! LOL

Thanks! How I'd wished to be him... and thanks to his amazing design that I was convinced to put Lightning as the featured character in my artwork.

Awesome ^^ Hmm.. When you draw it, how do you make it look realistic without the color? (I don't have photoshop, and I hate coloring.. As you can probably tell from my artwork..)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, there's one method I can think of... Shading! With good shading, I believe you can make your artwork looked realistic.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, that's my first intention when I drew her. In fact, I adjusted the color so that she looked vibrant and as if she were putting up some make up there.
