I wanted to take a break from my typical imagery and try this Asian style of digital art that is popular and, well, really cool! The work of contemporary Asian artists is mind blowing in my opinion and I just had to see if I could get anywhere near their abilities.

When I began this image, I was wondering why I didn't try it more often until I remembered how TIME CONSUMING it is! But worth it right?

Unlike other artists who create art in this style, my work here is, as always, photo manipulation. I can say this is based off of a real person's image which I think adds more reality to it and of course, that makes at lest two people who are happy with the work - the model and me :)

Ah this is amazing. I saw your tutorial and followed your link C: This is great. YES It is so time consuming! And totally worth it.

I didn't know it was photomanipulation though but it looks so awesome <3 I was about to ask how in the world you made it so realistic before I read the summary. Pft that's why you should always read XD

I'll go check out your other stuff, you look really good.

The colors are lovely, but you also manage to give her an unearthly stillness. This woman is a warrior who could handle her own, and then some.

Great work!
