Description Click [link] for the Final Artwork

Hello everyone!

After 1 week since I submitted Vanille's Symphony of Dream artwork, I must say I'm very happy with the well-received response

Most of the comments are very encouraging and I really love some of the comments said to me. I'm glad that my 6-months work really paid off.

My artwork is very detailed, some still couldn't believe that I actually draw everything from scratch at one look. Some suggested that the small thumbnail size is actually the main culprit that give away such impression to others.

So I figure it will be the best if I could present you guys a close up details (it's also based on demand from some of my fellow watchers ). To add up some value, I even show you guys images if I remove certain layers like beads and accessories.

Additionally, at the bottom of the image, I have include WIPs on how I did for the background. Enjoy!

Before I go, as usual, I would like to make a disclaimer.

While the design of Oerba Dia Vanille and official wallpaper/screenshots are solely belong to their respective owners, others like my version of Vanille's CG render, close ups and WIPs are entirely owned by me. So please do not crop or use it whatsoever as your own unless you have and had obtained my permission.

Note: I deliberately added a few magic sparkles on her face and chest as to replace the watermark.

Material Used:
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Wacom Graphire 4

Skin Texture Brush by: `adonihs

Reference:
- Official FFXIII wallpaper released by Square Enix and full CG render of Oerba Dia Vanille.
- Background was screen captured from the actual FFXIII gameplay.

This is amazing. The single line of how you treat photoshop as 3D software gave me a completely new outlook on how i am planning to start my next piece of art work. I wish i could add this to both my "favorites" and "useful skills".
Great Job.

It's so cool to be able to see the whole process you went through making this really amazing piece!

lyzeravern In reply to killer-rabbit-05 [2010-09-13 02:22:46 +0000 UTC]

Hehe yup, because I used to wonder how if Square Enix could show us the process how the make or render to GC character. But I guess they're not going to do that, perhaps confidential? So I try make one and let you guys see my process instead. Of course it's not really 3D though.
