Artist's Comments

This is Pica. came up with her name after flicking through a bird watchers manual. Did you know that magpie's go ';Pica pica'? :3
I didn't. Didn't care, really X3

This piece was mainly just a bit of fun, get some hair and skin practice. The skin is always my favourite part of a piece.
Still not entirely sure what I think of this piece though. Kinda wish I could take it further but really I have no idea what I'm doing at times. But I might decide to work on this further if I get some inspiration

Till then..!

is this photoshop?


The skin has a very high gloss finish. If your using photoshop, be careful about using soft edged brushes because it will often make the skin look "too smooth"... or even like plastic.

I good thing to do is to make one layer a texture layer. and do that in a gray scale, or a color other then skin. Since skin has many colors in it... blue green yellows, even orange and pink... it all depends on what color your backdrop is going to be... Gray will make it ueutral though.

Then go over that with another layer of your skin tone... and your texture layer will show through slightly. It will show the small bumps and flaws in the skin.

Hmm? I'm not sure I understand. I've never seen a cell-shaded piece with a textured skin. Remember, my style is very cell based

Whoa, this is an awesome piece. I'm loving the hair, and you did a good job on the cell shading. The eyes look intense, perhaps a little bit too intense LIKE SHE'S STARING INTO YOUR VERY SOUL. Or something.

Great job =)

While it's true that no weapon is mighty enough to chop Tifa's breasts, it's very likely that she got a scar when Sephiroth slashed her with the Masamune in Nibelheim.

Sadly, only Cloud is privy to such information.

Awesome colours! The cel shading is great :) Maybe magpies are really pikachus?

Something witty should be here
:iconikipud:
OMG she has truly epic hair 8D *wants* I wish my hair was lighter so I could dye it crazy colours without having to bleach the crap out of it first XD

If you wanted to do something more to it try adding some crazy hair clips, dangly earrings, necklaces etc. Depends what effect you'd want but if I'm struggling to give something more detail I just add loads of accessories 8D
