I confess that I’m not entirely happy with it.

Couldn’t get the hair colour as I wanted it – light blue with red tips, the eyes and lips are not the best either, plus I ate a thumb when adjusting the gunblade and only noticed way too late.

I could fix it, it is a digital painting, it is not difficult. I just no longer had the energy.

This painting was sketched over an existing screenshot from the game (Final Fantasy XIV), but it was holding an umbrella instead of a gunblade and the light was from a different direction. And it was painted while going through WLOP’s curses, in particular the one about fine tunning colour and contrast (https://wlop.gumroad.com/l/xuqngv?layout=profile&recommended_by=library)

All-in-all, though I am unsatisfied about some aspects of it, I am very happy with the result.

I will follow my own advice on it: Paint what you want to paint.

There is no point practicing with still life if your end goal is elsewhere. Sure, they will help with some basic concepts, specially light and shadow, but they are not complex enough.

The result so far is a mess. I’m not happy with quite a few aspects from it, simply because I still don’t have the skills to pull it off.

On the other hand, I am very happy with how things are going, as it is far better than I thought myself capable of.
