Description Yay, I finished something. But it wasn't an easy task.
"Why?" you ask?

Well, 75% of the linework was done while holding/nursing my 2 month old baby. And about 60% of the coloring was done the same way. Definitely a challenge. Especially when she started wiggling.

Linework: Illustrator cs5
Coloring: Photoshop cs5

Character is Lulu with her stuffed moogle. Gotta love FFX.

Wow. The expression, the detailing on that insane dress, the village -- all original style but very accurate.

I always wondered where Lulu got her dress sense. She's clearly not like anyone else in Besaid, and really not like anyone else in Spira except for Paine!

I like this one . I would have to say that the belts on her dress don't read too well but I do like all the detail in the bg. I would also suggest to make the background darker or lighter to make her pop out more because she is kinda blending into it. anyway! I really do like this one

I was playing with the levels before but I had either too bright or too dark and it just plain wasn't reading well at all. I even tried saturation differences.

I think it's cuz she is so dark in her clothing and hair, so I tried a lighten her a little. It just got weird. I will try again to see what I can do.

btw.. those belts are a bitch. LOL

What you could do it darken the back and give her a light rim around? Because I don't know where the light source is coming from. maybe change her dress color? Red?

And yes Belts are a bitch lol

lol, Lulu is only ever seen in that black leather dress... even in the desert. I think I will try the rim thing.

Thanks Nas. I have been working really hard lately. And I've been learning to take things slower.
