Description This is the prize I made for for winning my mini-contest - CONTEST WINNER!

This is her character Liza from her story She was fun to draw and that background was a great challenge for me (since I so rarely do industrial/city backgrounds). Most of that was hand painted with no references because I couldn't find anything I liked I didn't even use a brick brush

Brushes used for smoke - by , by , and by

Fence Brush - No clue where it came from, just happened to find it in my loaded brushes while I was working on the picture and thought it worked perfect. Anyone knows, let me know so I can give credit

Beautifully done! You captured her character incredibly well! I also love how the atmosphere captures the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Excellent work done!

Thank you! The outfit reference was given to me by so I can't take credit for the design, but it is a cute outfit

This looks really great! I love the background with the smoky sky and general industrial city vibe~ And Liza looks really lovely too! Her expression and outfit is on point~

Thank you! It was an interesting challenge doing something so urban since most of my stories are based in a fantasy/pre-industrial age

I had a really good reference from :iconcharcoalfeather for the design of the overcoat part of the outfit

Indeed I can imagine so! But you did great at it~ Cities and buildings in general are no easy feat to draw D:

It's always nice when working with clear and good references!

Wow, once again, thank you so much for this! I love the way you did the detailed background and it's stunning you didn't even use references for the most part! yeah, it is hard to find references for these kind of things, as I've learned the hard way myself. Great work on the details of her dress and her face is very accurate!

Her eyes are actually blue though, but that's alright. I didn't realize until I zoomed in that you've made them hazel, and I realized my watercolour pictures don't always make colours obvious, especially when they're small like eyes

I love the way you used the different brushes for smoke and smog--they're used very realistically. 

This is a gorgeous piece of Liza and the settings she's usually in. Thank you!

Oh! I can fix that and easily too! (I usually make the eyes a separate layer in Photoshop).

All fixed! She's got blue eyes now

I'm glad you like it! It was really fun to do
