Finally complete! I think I've touched up on this as much as I can, so it's time to consider this piece finished.

The original idea was to have an enemy's eye view of Alicia/Silmeria's final attack, Nibelung Valesti (the initial version for those of you familiar with the game), the moment just before she hits.

While I stuck with painting most of the character and the background on one layer each, that pretty much ended once I started color work. All of the colors and subsequent retouches were done on separate layers, as well as the finer details of Alicia's face and costume.

Hardly my fastest work, this probably took me about a week or so in total time, but there's still much for me to learn.

Hope those of you who watched the progress on the piece enjoyed it, though I'll probably stick to just posting the traditional line art and final versions in the future. It wasn't that bad, was it?
