Artist's Comments

Oh damn ... you don't even realize how happy I am with this. Not necessarily because I'm pleased with how it came out, but because I've been in a bit of an art slump these past few months. Every time I would try to color something on my computer, I would lose all motivation and I just ... couldn't do anything. It was difficult enough to get myself back into my sketch book ... and, I guess I was using that as my means to get myself back into being creative, and then I slowly worked from there to get to this point....

BUT HERE I AM NOW!!! LOOK AT IT!!!! XD

Now that I have that out of the way ... yes, I AM very pleased with how it came out. ^_______^

I do hope everyone enjoys it.

This is the main character in the upcoming game "Mirror's Edge". Her name is Faith.

It's due out on November 11th for XBox, PS3, and PC, and the demo should be up for XBox and PS3 by the end of this month. Though ... based on the previews for it; watching the gameplay and looking into the story and the work that's been put into it ... I am VERY much looking forward to it.

Here, go read up on and at Wikipedia: [link]

And, go check out the several gameplay videos on its website: [link]

I think, aside from the amazingly realistic touch that's been added to the free movement of the first-person view, the main thing that caught my eye is the coloring of the city; the wonderful appearance of it all, and the fact that they took away the health bar, letting the colors desaturated as you lose health. :XD: Seriously, that sounds amazing.


Go check it out -- I think people will like it.

Very nice! I like this a lot. I love how you didn't use black for the lineart; it makes her glow.

Aaaactuallly ... I did use black for the lineart. Afterward, however, I added a layer with a white gradient over everything to add that soft feel to it. If you watch the trailers, during the day, the sun is always shining and gives everything that white glow to it -- I was trying to make it feel more like the game. ^_______^

Construction points notwithstanding, the final result has grey lines creating a glow effect.
It's rad as Hell either way!

Well, I thank you. I'm very glad you like it.

You should go look into the game -- it looks very promising.

Can you post a closeup of her head/face? Her lips are so beautiful. I really like this style comeback where you put detail in the hair and certain facial features, leaving others simple and cell-shadie. X3 Worked really well with Gen's portrait back in the day, and it looks great here. I also like the return of the gradient glowie effect... though I think because this is an image that has much more of the figure than just a bust/portrait, it's kind of too much of a contrast between the soft/glowie upper portion, and the very starkly black outlined lower-half. Maybe that's just because it's on a white background, though, and there are no other elements to balance it out, because it looks really cool, but as it is, it's a little bit too soft for the areas that look too sharp and bold in contrast.
:icontalon705:
Maybe it reminds you of TWEWY art 'cause I've recently picked up a few things from that style and put it in my own. So, I know there are a few things in this one that looks like that art. ^___^

Thank you, Amanda. I'm very glad you like it. :XD:
