Description
Full View Peoples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3 *gives you a cookie*Detail Shot - Just a close up of the face, since it's my favorite part ^.^;;
Well, this picture took forever to do ;___; Not because of the picture itself, but because of the fact that my scanner and tablet are STILL busted. So the only way I was able to finish this image was by spending most of this week staying over at *One-Vox's house and using his tablet, and that wasn't easy. Vox's tablet is bigger then mine, and trying to use it was like trying to re-learn how to ride a bike ;__; It was giving me SO many problems...*le sigh* But well...I got it done anyways, and just in time too!! @___@;
But well, this image is for Round 21 over at the PE *private exchange*. I got ~clarence-mcgraw and his character, Stephanie Sarai *nicknamed Gypsie Queen* , for this round :3 It was rather cool because his character is a Chicago Police Detective, and I LIVE in Chicago ^.^d So that was a bonus.
So for this image I...well...I really had no plans for this image c__c it took me a while to come up with a concept. But I just started drawing and this is what popped out. Stephanie Sarai is supposed to be a powerful sorceress as well as a detective who specializes in affairs with the Occult and such things for the police. She weilds a french fencing sword as well as a gun, but I didn't feel it really fit in with the rest of the picture so I cut it out.
I went for a more 'darker' and 'suspensful' atmosphere with this image, as if she were on a case or something ^__^;;; And her appearence is a bit different from the original image, mainly in her attire, but I was trying to give her that Chicago esque clothes style, something a bit more urban and practical for an on-the-job officer. But well...It came out WAY better then I had anticipated, which is a plus. Rock Rock On!

I looks nice, but she doesn't look like she's really thinking about the weapon in her hand. Like, whatever she's worried about killing is distacting her from holding her weapon very well.
In other words...she has a loose grip.

I really like this piece.
I'm pagan, and a redhead, and wanted to be a police officer.
Haha. Weird stuff abounds.
I feel like a fave whore, but I can't help it.
Again, really good, especially love the fact that you knew to put the pentacle upside down. Lots of people don't realize that.
^-^

The rug burn on the knee is really well-done. That's just utterly groovy and keeps drawing my eye to it. (Has nothing to do with the fact that all my jeans get ruined that way).
The red shadow bleeding into a multicolored outline that fades out as it moves up is pretty neato. The background, as a whole, is pretty swell, as well (argh, shoot me!), but if I'm not mistaken her nose seems to come down just a smidgeon too low. All in all, however, this is a nice piece of work. *nods*

This is just such a great scene, I'll sum it up with that. Beautiful work all the way around.

Ahahah that's kinda cool that you got her and you live in Chicago. Nice job Sayda, despite all the problems you ran into, it turned out nice I like the atmosphere you created here, and the subtle lighting. And her outfit is super cute, I really like the folds at the bottom of her jeans
Nice job hon!

Sigh. I'm always in awe of both your drawing and coloring skills. Her pose is perfect and the little details like the holes in her jeans and her badge make this an amazing piece. Well worth the effort!
Whee, horned god.

Oooh, nice. I am loving those tattered jeans. Speaking of the jeans, the texture on 'em is really nice.
*Looks again* OH MY GOD. Individual zipper bits! Now, THAT is some really good attention to detail.
LOVE the fore-shortening on her right arm. It just looks GREAT. Good stuff.

I used a wacom for the first time yesterday- I was amazed at how thin the pen was compared to my aiptek.
