[A] ASHE THINKS YOU SUCK.

It's been too long since I've drawn the lovely Ashe. :lol: In preparation for some ultra-in-depth studying for FFi's Character Study (http://www.ff-illumina.net/tutorials/#studies) series, I thought drawing her again would be a wise thing to do.

I gave her an interesting expression ( :P ) to add a little personality to the picture. This is a new style that I'm currently experimenting with, and I can see a few more works done with this technique before I move on to something else. It's great for expressive faces and simple contours, but I found myself having a little trouble when it came to more complex shapes like hands, so admittedly it's a bit messier than I had originally intended. Messy is fun, though, so I may try going in that direction in the future.

I originally had a reference for the overall pose, but deviated from that quickly. The arms and shoulders were done completely from memory, in case they look a little off (my "artist's eye" hasn't worn off yet, so I don't see much wrong with it).

Comments and criticism appreciated!

And if you want to this in better context: propaganda (http://ff-illumina.net/download/jayhawk/AsheFNx01.jpg)

Not much to say other than it's faaaaabulous.

[Jayhawk]

Haha thanks :)

[Lawr]

That's absolutely grand! I especially like what you did with the EVERYTHING

[demondude]

Wow!

[KoShiatar]

If you posted more often, you could totally strip anyone else of their Ciddies.

[Polaris]

They look hot! :D How do you paint it? I've been looking forward to make a manip with that style but I haven't find any clue of how you guys paint with that style

[Breine]

It's really, really good. Everything from the shading to the colouring and just everything is top notch.

[Jayhawk]

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

@KoShaitar -- What are Ciddies?

@Polaris -- Well I painted it using a Wacom Tablet with Corel Painter IX. As for the style, I guess it's just loose? Maybe you could elaborate on what you mean.

[Rye]

That's delicious. :bigsmile:

>>> Great colors there, for a moment I saw 3 arms but it was just an illusion created by a piece of armor on her right hand.

[I Don't Need A Name]

wow, this is just awesome!

[Avarice-ness]

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

@KoShaitar -- What are Ciddies?




Ciddies are what's going on right now. Basically they're like Emmies or Grammies for the Forum, one of the categories is "Best Artist" basically people nominate then vote and who ever wins gets the title of being the best artist.

Either way I agree with Koshi, if you posted more, no one would stand a chance against you in the ciddies.

[Jayhawk]

I guess I'll try posting more then :P

[Dynast-Kid]

This is disgustingly gorgeous! xP

Seriously, the shading is PHENOMENAL. And the textures are stunning...This is too good! :bigsmile:

I wish I had a Tablet...;_;

[Vermachtnis]

That's awesome! I love her facial expression!

[smittenkitten]

It's amazing and she's hawt! :heart:

[Jayhawk]

Oh, Ciddies look like a pretty big deal then :P

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

[41-Inches-Wide]

OHGOSH!! :heart:
It's beautiful. I can only go O_O because even though I have Painter IX, I have incredibly limited idea how to color my drawings that way.

This is an amazing piece.

[Markus. D]

Wow that's amazing~!

[Jessweeee♪]

O:

[Jojee]

I love this style. Amazing eyes. ^_^ How long did that take you?

[TifaLockhart7]

How cool! Nice drawing! ^___^ I'm a little slow, so I don't get the title of it! xD

[Jayhawk]

Thanks everyone :)

@Jojee -- It took me around 12-14 hours, which is a bit long...

@TifaLockhart7 -- Ashe thinks you suck because you don't know how to draw her shirt, so now she has to hide behind a book! :lol:

[TifaLockhart7]

Oh I get it now!!! lol

[fairweather]

This is just...awesome.
Like, really really awesome.

[Aerith's Knight]

Wow.. just wow.

[NeoTifa]

edit: you drew her hair to look like mine :love: <3

[rubah]

wow, I'm sorry I missed this thread when it was first posted :D So cool

[Roto13]

I really need to check out the Artist's forum more. :p

[Cleric]

That is so good all around. I love itt
