----------
As usual, I used both Painter and Photoshop for this, bouncing back and forth between the two.
1. Flats and Skin Shading
- Flats done in Photoshop.
- Lots of indecisiveness caused this part to take longer than it should have, but no big deal.
2. Hair Shading
- Blonde is still a little tricky for me, but I feel I'm getting better at it and hair in general.
- So much hair!
3. Finish General Coloring.
- The rest was pretty simple.
- The white took me longer than the rest because I wasn't sure how I wanted the material to look; obviously i went with super white and shiny. I felt that would help bring out the background the way I wanted it to.
4. Background Work
- Inspired by the first half of this clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qImUih…
- Moon:
- I could have used a stock image of the moon, but that wouldn't have been fun.
- It wasn't as tedious as I thought it would be, since Sailor Moon would be covering up most of it.
- Did basic values in Painter and the rest in Photoshop, including textures, some warping, and overlay/color layers.
- Laces:
- I hadn't done laces since Weiss .
- I did a google image search on "wedding laces" to avoid getting shoe laces as part of the search results.
- The design was simple, and I kept in mind that I did not need to spend too much time on getting it "perfect", since I would be blurring them and adding some opacity.
5. Post Work
- Add some overlays, color tweaks, and some filters/effects to the background.
- Add some secondary lighting and filters/effects on the character based on finished background.
