Added 2018-03-30 06:25:22 +0000 UTCAnd she's finished! I wanted to create an image that shows the more "emotional side" of the character, so that's why her expression is a little different than usual.
Also, since I couldn't make up my mind between having the hair in front of her chest and to the back .... I made both versions .. along with a different version from the Soul Calibur IV game =D
So there's a few different versions for you guys to choose your favourite =D
I also really like the color pallete, and it's been quite a while since I didn't paint a blonde lady, and I always like to mix that with blues.
So, hope you guys like it!

2018-03-30 22:04:22 +0000 UTCThank you! It was an interesting character to work with because she has a lot of emotional background. So I wanted to create something that reflected that. I went for a design similar to SC III because I wanted something that would actually work in battle =p. And that includes keeping her breasts in check! But at the same time I wanted to make sure they were the size they needed to be ;). The hair I went with different tones to keep the braid "segments" from being repetitive. It was a very interesting character design and a pleasure to work with =)

2018-03-30 19:14:41 +0000 UTCThanks! I wanted to do something a bit more emotional. At first I thought about doing the temple as background, but it simply wasnt working. So I thought the beach was a nice alternative. The metal textures is the same process as always! The reflection is more of a color play between warm tones and light tones =D

2018-03-30 19:13:29 +0000 UTCThanks! It's a different type of expression I use to do, but I really liked the idea

2018-03-30 19:09:31 +0000 UTCWhat a cool expression! And she looks badass, I love it!

2018-03-30 18:04:44 +0000 UTCFantastic work, the overall feel of the images is really nice. It has a calm and at ease vibe about it. The character even seems to be a bit lost in thought. A walk at the beach is a pretty good background and compliments the mood I would say. Though I never really played any Soul Calibur games I think it's quite the interesting character design, kinda makes me want to do a Wonder Woman comparison. Nice work on the fabric it has a silky shine to it. I'm also intrigued how you did the metal textures. Great work!

2018-03-30 16:05:33 +0000 UTCGoodness... this is stunning, truly beautiful work! The background here is fantastic, I adore the contrast of light blue tones against the sandy/earthy colours, I also like how each part is divided diagonally by the edges of the mountains and beach. And as ever, the level of detail that you put in is amazing, I also really like how the tall mountain gently blends a little with the blue sky. As for Sophitia herself, just wow! 😍😍😍 Her hair is gorgeously painted and detailed, all of those strands sweeping around her face, with some of them curling back in are all so appealing to me, while I love the braid with it's interlocking bundles of hair, all draped across her body. Her face is beautifully painted, her skin tone and how the shadows affect it are lovely, while her eyes, bright blue and distinct are so captivating 💙💙, her lips too are delightful with the fullness of them, how well they're rendered and textured. Her clothes and other attire are brilliant and so marvellously detailed, from her shiny little blue ribbon at the end of her hair, material folding and slightly rippling, as well as the many folds in her dress, how they overlap of her belt in some cases, I also really like how on her left side, above the belt and below of her breast, the material falls away from her body, showing that it's loose. That the material has all of it's textures, rendering, cast-shadows across it and is transparent too is terrific. The various metals are great too, in particular, I love her breast-plate, how the light shines strongly on it, with multi-coloured shadows opposing it, all showing off the forms, and another great detail that i didn't even notice at first, the writing along the blade of her sword (I can not overstate how much I appreciate your attention to detail in these paintings!). And just like with her face, the skin and anatomy across her entire body is fantastic, like at the base of her neck, her clavicles, her breasts being squished against her chest by the breast-plate, the areas of her elbows, her thighs as they cross over and her hands as they grip her sword and shield. Brilliant work on this painting, looking at the work you've done this month, I think this may well be my favourite month of your pinups so far 😄. I'm looking forward to seeing the other versions that you've alluded to in the description.
