Here are the results of the first "Second Chances" poll featuring Krystal!
I very much underestimated how much work this would take to complete, but you know, I always forget how much fun it is to draw Krystal...but I have to admit getting the colors on the Arwing vs the background to work really did present a challenge this time. I managed to get it to work through the use of several Darken and Screen-type layers to blend the colors of the arwing and make them less stark against the background so the thing looks like it belongs in the image (Oracles and Pharaohs will be able to see this in the upcoming PSD).
I also tried something a little different with the shading layers, lowering their opacity a bit so that they didn't overpower the flats and I think it worked out nicely!
My favorite part, incidentally, is that she's marked on the side of her Arwing how many StarWolves she's shot down like on a WW2 fighter/bomber heheh ^_^;;.
