Not to long ago, I posted a picture titled "Never out Gunned." I sorta hurried through the texturing, so I was a little disapointed with the outcome. I also wanted some background, and I didn't do that either.

I was so disapointed with the overall outcome and responce (I don't think more than 1 person really saw it) that I started over from step 1. I re-lined everything and tried to keep it cleaner and smoother. Rather than use Opacity for differing tones, I used the color palette (still need to deviate from all the grays).

I also used a scratching tone technique that would fall under the catagory of traditional art tones for the hair and the exposed portion of Monicas' body suit (midsection). I read about it, and wondered if I could apply it to digital media, and it worked like a charm! I'll need to use it more to really grind it into my system, but I like the outcome here.

Also, air brush rawks. :3

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this peice as much as I enjoyed making it... no, MORE than that!

(Check my most recent Scraps for the differences between the old version of Monica and the new for this picture. and ignore all the horrificly old junk in there. [link] )
