Le Gothic Jellyfish... — Description
Finally Finished
My Tribute to
She has a style that's pretty unique and throughout her gallery, you can see an evolution on her art...as if her drawings grew along with her!
She's not only a talented artist, but a beautiful girl with a really cool sence of style. In this Picture I tried to mixed up a lot of different refferences as far as clothing is concerned. I took references from her actual clothes (some form her old look...some more updated) and mixed them up with a little imagination of may own...

...so HERE IT IS! My tribute to her! I hope you (as well as her) Enjoy it!

Tech stuff:
Lineart done by hand....scanned and the rest was done on Photoshop CS8.
I'm really trying to get the hang of this software. It's really awesome...but I still suck at it...
Anyway, This is my first successfull Photoshop Project involving Colors and Layers....and all of that fancy stuff that you people seem to be able to do sooo freakingly easy! So yeah, I know it's not perfect...but not half bad for a first try on Digital Art...I also payed quite a bit of attention to lighting...It's not perfect, but there are some very subtle lighting effects (on the skin specificaly) that keep the picture from looking all flat...this, however, makes the picture look more like a cheap 3D render than an Anime portrait (as opposed to traditional "Cell Shading")...but I think it gives some uniqueness to the picture...
I've really learned a lot doing this piece! so the next one I'm confident will turn out much better!!!

Any comment or critique more than welcome!

P.S. I Hope Karincoma doesn't think I'm Stalking her or something...
