simple is cool-er: try an option without the table and the bench, without the swords on the background, but just the kanji. And why did u make the ears if we can't see them cause of the hair. try a more simple composition just to see if u like it. i would... :-P

I started making the normal feats of the face-eyes/lips/nose/ears. I got bored and just threw some hair on her and I liked the way it looked. I was really hating the ears and decided to just cover them up. I'll keep your idea in mind. I had trouble with the arms and body (first human person I've ever made) and figured I'd just hide the rest instead lol. Just wanted to make sure I got to enter it before it's too late. Im going to TRY and add touch ups to it before the contest ends (wings and I guess making it simplier). Thanks for your suggestion.

I like this one. Many "but's" about source usage and some composition things, but who cares? Looking very good, one of very few entries wich catched my eye in this contest.

Kind of surprised to hear the "buts" part but thought the "who cares" was pretty funny & reasuring lol Milkins. Took me a good while to make this from just the source and (not that it would really matter) try and go into more detail about the usage of it. Oh well maybe next time lol. Thanks rijkjavik & FairyGardens.

Entry guide: step 1 of 15

Took a piece of the thumb, duplicated, blended, and blurred it. Used the burn tool to make certain outlines for the face. Yeah she looks ugly

Entry guide: step 2 of 15

Made an eye from scratch.
1) Drew outline for the eye
2) Fine tuned it a little more
3) Added the white part with a pinkish part on the bottom
4) Gave some eye shadow
5) Started with a brown circle, and dodged/burned certain parts to make it glow then changed the hue.
6) Did a few eyelashes

Entry guide: step 3 of 15

Heres the hair, nose, lips & ghetto ears lol

Entry guide: step 4 of 15

Hair

Entry guide: step 5 of 15

Cut out the flame, the just the wick part thang, and finally the tiny fire part. Dupped & transformed it. Touched it up with some burn here and there

Entry guide: step 6 of 15

Warped the pink head thang a little bit and changed the color. Finally added a gradient style to it and burned it a little bit to touch it up

Entry guide: step 7 of 15

Dupped, & warpped the crown looking thang to make the armor. Used the same layer style & also burned it to bring out more depth to it

Entry guide: step 8 of 15

added some more "skin & armor".

Entry guide: step 9 of 15

The Sword

Entry guide: step 10 of 15

Made the desk/table/bench whatever you want to call it from the sword.

Entry guide: step 11 of 15

Duplicated the sword a couple times. Then again & again.

Entry guide: step 12 of 15

Step one in how I made the BG. Started out by making a border but decided I didnt like it, so once again I got bored and just strted messing around till I found somethang I liked (NEXT STEP)

Entry guide: step 13 of 15

Flipped & made a few changes to make it fit better, then enlarged & changed blend mode

Entry guide: step 14 of 15

DaFont.com for font. I knew I wanted some kinda jap looking thang on the side but couldnt quite figure out how.

Entry guide: step 15 of 15

Finally added just a little bit more hair to cover up my mistake on the ears & added a dragon tat (font---> Dafont.com)
