Description This is the third commissioned piece that requested. He wanted his OC Alacrity in the modern world and for this piece, he gave me full reign on the costume and pose but he requested to have her hold this kinda rifle if i ever needed to have her carry a weapon.

So, why not make her hide behind a window as she prepares to shoot her target with this small but deadly sniper rifle? Also gave her a light armor suit that looks modern but still retain the look of her black/purple costume. I dont ever do costume designs but im happy how this turned out!

No references except for the gun. Photoshop. Wacom Graphire. Hope y'all like it!

I really like the way the light is streaming from the window. Especially the detail of having added tiny dust particles illuminated by the sunlight. Cool!

Gorgeous suit she has on, weapon is perfect. And I love the rays of sun hitting her, like she's about to take a real important person in a limo XD

Great work!!!

wow~!
I wasn't expecting this, very cool indeed
a great shot of Alacrity in her modern/futuristic role~!

I especially love your light & shadow and the little particles in the sunlight, and you created that costume from scratch ~ even though you couldn't have known, it's ideal (as John mentions below).

semaj007 In reply to Presteza [2008-10-17 18:53:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks A! Im glad you like this piece and its quite a surprise also that its more or less the look you and John were discussing! Im curious as to what colors were you guys plannin to use though? It couldnt be the same color scheme as well!

BTW, as for the other action oriented piece, should we go with the original Jacket and sports bra look or this one? Im cool with any of em.

Presteza In reply to semaj007 [2008-10-17 19:02:56 +0000 UTC]

you'll hafta ask John about the colours .. Ala likes blue-purples, browns, black, greys, soft pink, appx in that order but whatever works is fine (not that she gets a choice with uniforms).

as for the other piece, sure I'd love that of course you have artistic liberty, she's in a different setting now.

semaj007 In reply to Presteza [2008-10-17 19:14:07 +0000 UTC]

Haha... quite true. Hope she gets some of her fave colors in her new costume. As for the other piece, ill try to see what works best for the fighting pose/stance.

I love the light coming through the window and you made the light on her armor right. The atmosphere is great on this. You're getting better at drawing hair too, which makes me happy ^_^

Thanks Vass! And i cant believe how fast i did the hair this time around. I think it helped that this piece has a sketchy feel to it so didnt really need to get clean with the hair. But im pretty happy with this piece coz i discovered a lot of new stuff doing this one!

SilkyWays In reply to semaj007 [2008-10-17 18:44:17 +0000 UTC]

I found that as soon as I figured out how to draw hair, it gets easier and faster every time I do it. Right now I ma drawing a young girl with a full head of curls. I thought it would take ages but it took only slightly longer than nomral.

It's great to do something new isn't it?

As long as i aint doing a guy or a dog, its great to do something new indeed.

Curly hair is something i dont even wanna think about! LOL. You do that Vass! Ill stick to my simple short hairs. LOL
