This is still a work in progress due to the fact I have finals and well, my mom is still at the hospital. Now this drawing is about three weeks old cause I’ve been working with it for exactly two weeks till I stopped. I’m trying to color as detailed as possible and well learning a technique used by the artist of Soul Calibur IV, but I’m only able to emulate what I see. It’s still hard though, for my lazy tastes anyways. As I started a friend of mine pointed out some huge errors and some anatomically incorrect parts [I still think he has a huge butt but hey I’m a girl…I can dream right? Still, I will ignore those who point out the butt thing]. I resized his body many times to fix other things, but I still have issues here. With Sakura, I’m having trouble with her skin color and the shadows. As usual, Hayabusa’s hair is mah pride and joy.

Well, creative criticism is highly encouraged. Good bad and butt ugly comments are welcomed as usual. When I finish finals I’ll try and finish the details and add a forest BG, cause that is my main plan for this drawing. I’m trying not to give up on it…but if I have to fix more things I might.

Tools: Photoshop CS3; Wacom Tablet; size 3452 x 3437 in 400 ppi (yeah HUUUUGEEEEE); work time: 2 weeks; layers: 14; I used textures for the scarf
