Xpiator

LOOK MAMA, NO OUTLINES.
Word of the Day: Expiator.

I wanted/needed to make a digital painting to show my art teacher. She said she wanted to see what stuff I could do digitally after bawing to her that I sucked at traditional stuff. Most of my examples where IZ related and well.. that would be embarrassing.

So here is a HUMAN. My OC, V-19. I tried to draw her, facial features and figure-wise, as to how I imagine her as a real person.

She's a sort of home-made role model to me. Person I want to be. The only thing we really share is that eye colour, and she's an eclectic like me. Which is mainly what I want to be.

She is quite cold looking a lot of the time, and often acts in a professional manner whenever she speaks with people. In this scenario, she's a manager or commander of some sort, who worked to her rank and is generally quite fair. This makes her quite intelligent, although a lot of her decisions are one-sided. She's not terribly good at combat, but she knows a lot of self-dense, not to mention, has friends and acquaintances she has made who she uses as references for information. There's more to her but I can't fit it all in here.

I have a gazillion stories for her in my mind, but since last week, I had a dream.. instead of me navigating throughout it, it was her. Weird. Anyway, she was in another one of my Nuclear Apocalypse dreams (I have quite a lot of apocalyptic dreams, actually.. used to be mainly about aeroplanes but it's all sort of "doom to Earth, bar me as a survivor") and I figured.. well.. her personality. It suits it, eh?

Self Critique (Stealing this from Dana XD)
First go with no outlines.. or close to no outlines, some lines I kept if you look hard enough. I really like how her nose turned out! Though it's not exactly to how I pictured it, it looks good, especially for me using no outlines... I love the glow under the glass and the shines on her boots. I need to work on colouring skin though, and I realise now how badly I drew her face.. oh well

If anyone has any hints or tips or know what else the heck is wrong with this, feel free to say so!

V-19 belongs to me!
