Description Every battle leaves a scar. Never give up your fight.

I wanted to draw Leona again, since I don't have as many drawings of her uploaded as I do Taylor. She's my fighter girl character/muse haha.

Ive actually seem some really huge ones in the store xD Though I made them unnaturally large because the idea is more of a metaphor for hurt, rather than a tangible wound (I hope that made sense lol).

That big ass band-aid.  I actually just barked out laughing

Really like your slight watermark effect.  What program/method do you use to get that?

I think i have that moment of coincidence. I have an unfinished picture of an injured warrior displaying true strength I started a month ago. kind of weird.

nakanoart In reply to pipibug [2016-03-24 01:52:55 +0000 UTC]

I use pencil and Photoshop, but if you are in the market, I recommend Manga Studio 5.

JoshVita [2016-03-23 15:21:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, she does seem like the fighting type. It also seems that she gets attacked at the chest the most, judging by that huge band-aid! 
But I get what the band-aid is suppose to mean.

Hehe Mabye she survived the attacks of assassins who commonly go for the heart!

Ah, of course, why haven't I thought of that. Silly me! I bet guys are always trying to get to her heart (literally!). ;D
