This was a project for my digital art class that I never got around to finishing.
I started with this original image:

This is the first piece I've done with base layers and opacity shading using photoshop alone ( I think back in the day I made 2 vexels in photoshop, but I don't even have a piece in my gallery here that was made with no illustrator involved. That's how long it's been!). On top of all of that, this piece was done at a very very large scale (13x18 inch print at 300 DPI). Working on a piece this large was probably the biggest challenge because details (or lack thereof) really stood out compared to the vexels I was used to doing at 72 dpi. Mistakes were easier to make since it was so HUGE, and towards the end my computer had a hard time handling it all
Overall it was a nice experience. I got to relearn the pen tool again (since the pen tool in illustrator is different than the one in photoshop).

Well, I just can't stop look at her eyes, after I found out.
