Description -Full View Please- [It looks ugly zoomed out >_<]

Before I continue with my TFA arts I thought I should finish off this which I started months ago [now that i think about I started it last year when I still had my old comp lol].

This piece was made entirely from me using the lasso tool, gradients and the smudge tool. [except for the background which is just edited in photoshop because no freaking way was I going to use the same technique on the back.]

I'm amazed how well this technique works! It's not so great with skin though..or at least I'm not very good with gradient painting skin tones lol

I was going gradient paint each of my cosplays buttt this one took too freaking long. X_X sooo not gonna happen lol

So yes, here is me as Alicia gradient shaded!
