Description
Commissioned pieceI pulled out all the stops for this one!
I'm trying to think of technical notes that you would like to hear about... This is all Photoshop. I think the tools I use more than anything can be set in this order:
1. Paintbrush (to work like an airbrush with selections)
2. Pen (to create selections)
3. Burn and dodge (I use these in all of my work)
4. Smudge (same with this one)
I used a mouse for everything except the hair and some of the clouds.
Photographer: Alex Gumerov
The background was referenced off of a photo I took at the Temple Of Heaven in Beijing (in broad daylight)

Awesome design for a ninja. Her clothes and her pose are great (I especially like the split cape). The lighting is good too. Great painting overall

I don't care if anything is wrong with this; the fact that you used a mouse makes up for it.

she looks almost like a 3D model! i would have liked to see something a little more interesting composition-wise, though....having her off-center would have helped.
