Description She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's the salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

~ Green Day, She's a rebel

My new submission for the 100 Theme Challenge, based on a drawing I made this summer.

The character is no one in particular - just a girl with shades, Matrix-style outfit and 2 guns. The cyberpunk style was not deliberate too - I played it all by ear.

Now for the credits - because I used a lot of stuff from other people :

-- Stock images (for the background) :
+ lb1-52 circuit board by ([link] )
+ Red Paint on Metal by ([link] )

-- Brushes :

+ Urban designs vector brush by Obsidian Dawn ([link] )

+ Flower Tattoo brush by
([link] )

+ Vector Grunge brushes by
([link] )

Permission for - Variation 2 - Theme 45 - 2 Guns

Media used : HB pencils (sketch), stock photos (see credits), Adobe Photoshop CS2

Thanks ! That's what I was seeking with this piece.
(That's what I'm seeking in general with my art.)

I love the graffiti, rough effect on the background. It's very effective for the subject in the focus, and the colors work out really great.

Gotta lova the 'trashy' effect in the background (it's not an insult, no worries ^^) and overburnt colors: they have a somewhat fast and furious edge that works pretty well with a cyberpunk mood.

(And dA finally let me view your pic. Yayh.)

Thanks for the comment ^^ - and I understood what you meant with 'trashy', no worries Yep, it looks like I've definitely fallen for the grunge/industrial aesthetics - when you see almost all my downloaded Photoshop resources (brushes, textures and all) follow that line.

I first wanted to try something different - a cleaner "cyber" look with cold colours and purples and just the circuit board with lighting effects as background (and I gave the girl purple hair o_O). But it didn't work and I ended up improvising a more "punk" look, which worked better. Aye, always coming back to my first loves.

Well, I don't know what the first picture looked like, but this one definitely works well as it is, so I guess it was a good choice.
