Trying to get back to creative work instead of just replication. This is my first attempt with my new skills, it’s not bad but there are things I’m very much not happy with like her left hand for example. But I’m done struggling with it and ready to move on.

      Thank you!!

      I use Sketchbook by Autodesk. Not the most robust piece of software, it doesn’t compare to GiMP or Photoshop in features which is why I like it so much. Those tools have so much I get lost and my workflow is just so frustrating while I try to find things. This gets the job done super easily. Maybe one day when I am at the edge of what this app can do I’ll move to GiMP but right now it has more than I can use.

        I’ve heard that Krita is an amazing drawing software.

        What are your experiences with it?

          Krita looks really cool, hadn’t heard of it until right now. The UI looks intense for my phone but maybe on my tablet. Might be a good in-between before GiMP on a PC.

          Thank you for introducing me to it.

    Any particular inspiration here?

    I can’t help but think of VI from league of legends

      I haven’t played that game but I love being compared to such a popular work! I wanted a fire based LGBTQ+ character with tattoos and piercings.

      The clothing choice is because clothes are hard… Harder than hands it seems 😂

      Edit: I just looked up Vi, she’s way cooler than this. Those robotic arms are fabulous!

        I’ve never actually played the game either, I’ve just seen the show. Definitely check out the show if you get a chance though. It’s one of the most incredible works of animation I think I’ve ever seen. There’s not that many seasons, but they are high production and quality packed.
