Finnaly I finished it...@.@.... This is my entry for contest for the 1st Category - Individual Art! Unfortunatelly I hadn't enough time for more since I only knew about the contest in this past saturday and I only could do the sketch in this past monday...
So, here it is my week work:

- Monday: Sketch
- Tuesday: Lineart
- Wednesday: Base Colors and 1st Shadows
- Thursday: 2nd Shadows and Highlights
- Friday: Background and all the rest of the details
- Saturday: Upload the entry!!! XD (in my time zone)

In total, this work took me 30 hours to be complete, more or less 6 hours per day. But it was worth for it since sapphirez's contest is fabulous and also, it was really fun to draw Maia! And I love challenges!
She's a water possessor, so everything is around that enviorement! That water ball she have in her hand is a concentrated power ball of water with some details of her energy, so, my intention here was making her be very satisfied looking to her power and capacities! ^^ Also, the BG Maia's face is to show her pureness and her passionate personality! =3 That was my feelings's impression I wanted to make here!
This is my style for Maia! Hope you like my work as I so much loved to create it! ^^
