Description
D00d. This wus a bitch. Mainly cos for the past couple of weeks, I'd lost all amount of my drawing talent. Seriously. Poof. Gone. It took me well over 100 sketches to get this pose looking remotely acceptable. That's how bad this was. And that's just the sketching. Don't get me started about the colouring. Though I must admit, realistic hair is fun to do once you actually get the hang of it.
Anyhoo, those who have watched my gallery may recognise this pic; well, it's a remake of one of my older FFX fanart pics that's somewhere in the cold, cold recesses of my gallery. A recreation of the Sending ritual that Yuna performed at Kilika (is it that, it's been too long since I last played...) Only this time, m00chly improved cos I now have the skillz in Photoshop to actually pull it off how I originally envisioned it. Which is nice. Especially compared to the first attempt. *shudder*
Enjoy!

Critique? I got...critique? OMFG! JOY XD
The face, over time I've grown to hate myself - it certainly could do with a makeover. I'm not used to drawing the face at that kind of angle though, which is why it turned out kinda crap.

Aww.. this is beautiful, actually ;.;! I especially like the delicate lineart.. and the way it's not all black and stuff xD Her hair looks so pretty.. you did well with coloring it.. and I like the way the front part of her outfit spreads as she twirls with that wand. It looks so pretty and graceful ;.;! Reminds me a lot of that movie "Hero" xD You've seen it, right? The outfit the women wear are just so baggy-like.. but the way they move and twirl in it looks so graceful and pretty.. almost like a flower ;.;
.. That can kill you xD Oh my. *Hit*
But yeah.. great job on this! Very pretty.. I like the texture on the bottom-left of the drawing => It looks really icy-like.. like a mixture of ice and spring.. like frozen flowers.. makes me think she shattered something ;.;
But yeah.. sorry about your drawing funk.. I hate it when that happens.. atleast you finished it.. and I think the many sketch revisings was worth it.. it's a pretty drawing ;.;! I adore the effects ^.^

tis really good! I love the water!! How'd you do that! *shakes fist* Yeah for colouring the hair!! I love colouring hair! It's so much fun! Wheee!!! I love the soul thype thing too!! (Can't remember the name of them!!)
The only critisism I would have about this is on Yuna's hand that's holding the staff. Her little finger isn't actually holding it but being folded uunder! But that's all I can see!!! XD Other than that it's another brilliant pice!! You've come a long way since your first Yuna pic!!! I've never even tried to draw her! I'll stick to my men! xDDD

Gotta say that the water effects and background really give this piece an edge. Great work. I usually have a tough time doing hair. Any tips?

Well, for realistic looking hair, try and rip the colours from a reference if possible, and use your own hair as a guideline for how it should look. As for the method, I used a 25% opacity, 50% flow airbrush to get the main colours down, and then used a small smudge brush to add in the individual strand effects. Best way of doing that is using an "up, down, up down" motion with your mouse or tablet as you go over it. Takes a while to get used to it, but you eventually get some great effects with it.

Oooh, blingy effects. I think the toils of this time off show most on her facial expression but that's a bitch to do even if you work at expression for months on end, I should know. It's lookin' good at least ^^

Wow, Tom. It was worth all the work. The coloring is good, the pose is good, the hair -- awesome job, there. The clothing folds are also mighty impressive as is the overall flow of the picture. Very nice composition.
