Artist's Comments

Here she is. I worked on her all day. I had a short background but the fucking DA servers completely blew it. Fuck it.

Here is Saiko, fully finished.

I would have included the stripes, but my damned photoshop was hitting the max RAM limit. It was nearly taking up a whole gig of ram because the file size of the original is a fucking 150+ megabytes. 35 x 35 inches. CHRIST I have NOT put so much work into something like this!

I'm proud of this piece. And I love it. Why?

1. I found a new way to detail fur.
2. I managed to include some special effects.
3. I had the power-urge to work on this character since 8:00 this morning, and I just finished as of a half hour ago. I need some sleep...

Oi, technical issues. I feel your pain. For all that, though, it's a nice piece.

Oh! Why... Thank you. Yeah, my photoshop was hogging up a load of RAM and I couldnt move much closer to the finishing touch, so I made the best of it with what I could.

Looks really good, very dynamic pose and effects and very nice design!

The fur looks good, how have you made it?

Thank you!

Well, it's a method that I performed in photoshop twice, only I reversed the direction basically. I'll have to write a tutorial soon.
