Thirteen hours of painting in photoshop.

Only 13 hours? I am SO disappointed in you. Doesn't anyone have any sense of work ethic? You can't just go into a project half-assed & expect to crap out something good, y'know?

Complete sarcasm aside, this is pretty damn awesome. Who did you use as a base...? Now do Ayla...! ^_^

Thanks, V!

Based on this dude: http://arachnid15-stock.deviantart.com/art/A15-Stk-SP114-26415166
Just referred to that photo as a guideline for color and composition, especially on the eyes.

Ayla would be fun. I'll see if I can squeeze her in :D

Amazing work! To quote ZeaLitY from elsewhere, "Magus looks intense."

Sweet, intense is just what I was going for :D
Actually, it's sorta based off that same picture, too. The fading to darkness part, at least.

V, I've got Ayla set and ready to go. Should have her done by this coming Saturday, hopefully. Depends on the school workload.

I think most people have trouble doing Ayla's fur getup, but the way I see it, if she's showing as much skin as she should, no one should really notice. :lol:

I can see why everyone has such a hard time with the fur, hair is hard! This Magus painting was the first time I've done any "realistic" styled hair, too. But that's what deviantArt tutorials are for!

Now since you requested it, you get to choose details :twisted:
Do you want that tail thing to follow the original Toriyama design exactly, or can I move it? It sorta covers the breast/torso area, and that's my favourite part to paint.

Ha, do w/e you want with it, it's gonna be your art, after all. I'm sure she has a variety of furs anyways, right?
