Tempest
Added 2020-02-24 16:35:33 +0000 UTCHere she is in full color. She is of course a miqo'te I havent done before and her name is Cat Alyst (I hope you like puns).
Im really happy with how this turned out and its the pic that really solidified the new coloring method Ive been trying that started with the last Kuro pic, with the softer look and a slightly different approach to how I do the lighting.
She was actually not supposed to have green hair but when I decided I was gonna leave the halloween elements in, with the orange in the pumpkins and the neck bow, I had to convince them to let me go with it because I knew it would amazing together. Green/Cyan/Blue + Orange is just one of those combos that is almost magical how well they go together, which is why you see it a lot in movie posters and such.
Thats also why I decided to go for tempest as the background, more of that nice cyan color so it helps all of the other colors pop without getting in the way.
Another thing is I also love the face here, its probably in my top 5 of all time and it was based on one of the screenshots I was given. I really liked her expression there so I wanted to replicate it and I think it came out even better. She has this really confident and proud look but without being arrogant, its just really positive.
And yeah as with most new characters, there will most definitely be more of her in the future.
On another note Im finally starting to build a bit of a backlog, still small but I always feel more comfortable knowing I have a bunch of things to post, and I also think they are all at this same level of quality so Im excited to share them when the time comes.

There's something so eyecatching to them. As a perv', i also greatly enjoy the squeezed breasts :p Yes yes, delicious ahah ! But what catch me the most is the face ! As usual, the face is gorgeous and here sooooo expressive ! Her look is fantastic, a mixed of pride and teasing....i loveit ! :D Amazing work Sora ! <3

2020-02-24 23:13:35 +0000 UTCI am pretty blown away at how good everything turned out, and am super happy with the end result. I am a big fan of the lighting lately all these new commissions and yes, I was convinced to go with the green hair lol. I actually really like the hair style in general and am not impartial to green hair, although I am colorblind so I can't see it at it's most vibrant. I cannot wait to do more of Cat, need to get the creative cog wheels turning. :) Thank you very much!

2020-02-24 21:17:43 +0000 UTCLast one was back in May 2019 (and before that 2018 if Im not mistaken), so Id be disappointed if I hadnt improved a bunch Its interesting to look at the first few commissions back in 2014 though, and I actually do think they have their charm with the more "traditional" style, which is the result of me just randomly using filters and textures in photoshop to make up for my bad shading, lol but it worked I guess Now everything looks super "clean" in comparison, I think thats the main thing you notice right away over the years

2020-02-24 17:25:14 +0000 UTCYep when doing pics like this with the blurred background (like the last one too), adding those bits of light on the side of the character makes it look so much better, and thats something youll be seeing a lot of in upcoming pics also Im a few months late (or early?) with halloween but who cares lol I can draw summer pics in winter so why cant I do halloween pics in february?

2020-02-24 17:09:38 +0000 UTCWhen I look at this pic and compare it to how you've done a lot of my own previous commissions, I can definitely see the improvements in the shading. The way the lighting blends together on her skin looks very natural, and it does give it a soft feeling. I need to get another piece soon, I feel like you've improved a lot since the last one. Also those thighhighs with that thigh getting pushed out the top, that's my jam.
