Artist's Comments

GASP, ^ its says 'bust' :rofl:

:sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :raincloud:

There was several challenges here. First, I wanted to do some bold coloring, something that REALLY stood out (most importantly the right boob) and engaging. Dead or alive's kasumi isnt the best choice for this type of art, as she implies "stoic beauty" or gentleness. so the task of keeping the characters kindess AND ...well, lets face it, make it look *HOT SO SEXY YEAH*, was accomplished. The second obstacle was to create a dynamic bg that didn't supercede the foreground, the mountains (you mean theres mtns in there?!) are so faded that on 1/3 of monitors that were used for color testing, they didnt show up! To exapnd on that, i might be going colorblind / crazy / OR IN THE MARKET FUR A NEAU MONITOR! this color problem is taking its toll. i admit now that it is less that eye catching. but im very pleased with the result.

Originaly sized at 18x24, the print wont be available here on DA but WILL be made especially on my other site-> kingslinky.net [link] as 18x24 / 11x17 (portrait) / 8x10/ ...later
This started out as -> [link] and what a change! for the better this time.

>>more about it later, gotta run to the bank
>>ok, back from the atm

lets see the numbers!

5: months off and on.
15: hours in 2 days straight since monday.
1: day to do the bg, in which most of it was deleted :cries:
1,981: mb of page file usage.
3: styles of hair tested before settling on..short.
1 BILLION: times the left boob was resized/repositioned.

Especialy for the diehard kasumi junkies

Please excuse me for my views, you see I have this disease that forces me to always be right.

support from you guys (allthough small in number), does count for more than the shallow support of faceless something rathers :confused: :sarcasm: oh well. cheers
:iconaneria:
I like it, and since I'm getting used to give constructive criticism, i'll add this little note:

The body is gorgeous, I like your form abilities (as always), but again something about the head/neck for some reason bothers me.
And her right arm kinda looks detached. But other than that gorgeous.
Just thought I'd add those little tidbits.

p.s. She looks kind, AND mucho so hot sexy. XD

Let me first say, overall top notch work!! I like your color selection and the simple background plays off the figure quite nicely. I also love all the detail and texture and the painted feel of the coloration. I do have a couple crits though... I think her neck looks a tad big/thick and perhaps over rendered... however, this is just my opinion. I also think her mouth looks a tad high... but this is just me. Still, overall great work! Go Kasumi!! :D
