Full view is a must!

*sigh* this piece took a lot of my time. I think it’s the most complex vector I have ever made. I finished watching blood+ recently and I felled like making wallpaper from the show. I decided to vector Saya using this screenshot [link] as a reference. I started to regret it as soon as I start working on the vector. Due to the bad quality I was ready to trash it. But for some reason I change my mind. I decided to improvise and just do it.

The hardest part was all the skin… specially the hand. It’s hard to shade without the outline. So I have to work a lot with that. It might look simple but the effort in this is endless. Now I understand why people only do this kind of vector work for like once a year. I end up with so many layer it give me headache.

Now to my favourite part: concept. I want to capture Saya when she’s trying to be strong and do what must be done while holding back her emotions. At start she annoys me very much but I finally understand the character and she’s likeable. Oh and the red crystal is well blood…

I hope you guys enjoy this one because I really put my effort and love into this.

The shading on this is so good... Excellent work, it's always worth putting all that time into what you do.

It’s the thing that grabs you by the feet
And never seems to let go,
And when you’re on the edge of your seat
It makes things go so slow.
Lag.
Really good =)

It was worth the effort

Very cool, i've just started liking that show as well. She was pretty whiny at the beginning, wasn't she? :lol: Very nicely done, the reflection of the sword looks especially nice
