Fantastical Self-Portrait

Here's a new deviantID! Woooot! Thought it was time for a change! Grew out of my older ID. And I wanted to practice a little background painting skills. So here we are!

The outfit is inspired by two of some of my most favorite loves...Star Trek and The Legend of Zelda. I wish I could slip the Harvest Moon series in there. But this works, and I guess I could say the forests, in Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, influenced the background a little.

I'm soooo excited about practicing different media this summer!!! I'm going to at least draw, design, or craft for 5 hours each day... Since I don't have a job...and I'm not hearing back from places I applied to.

I need to jump on some huge commission projects for now. Once I'm finished with my personal goals, maybe I'll open up to the deviant art community and try commission work. Really would like to. Ugghh but I am sooo sloooowww. This ID probably took 10 hours to do..cuz I simply poke the software in like 2-second intervals as I go hahahahaha I'm exaggerating...I think..well it depends.



I used Adobe Illustrator CS6 for the line art and Adobe Photoshop CS6 for the digital painting/coloring.
