Star-Crossed

Well, I have a lot to say about this one, even though most people dont even read the description

So I hadnt done a portrait yet since I got the tablet, mainly because I didnt know how to approach it... The clean style Ive been using doesnt really fit, and I dont know how to "paint" yet, so I had to figure something out...

I really like sketchy stuff, so I took a big risk here and left the lines exactly the way they were in the sketch, no cleaning at all, then I just started speed coloring on top and added the usual magic touch of photoshop, and yeah...

The character is Luna, my cat girl I had a really hard time getting the colors right here because shes dark skinned (not black, but really tanned, like american indian or so) and the color scheme I used made it really hard to give that away... At first she looked completely white, so I had to tweak it around for a long time

Really happy with the result though, looks completely different from anything Ive done, while keeping the same quality as before

I think this is pretty much the approach Ill take for digital portraits, for now
