Gift for NoStyle by @negoki (Zenoa Astellda)
i did this for NoStyle, a great artist!!! cos she's been really nice to me and lots of other stuff... hope you like it~!! did 2 other sketches before finally using this, may upload the other 2 sketches some other time.
a total of 4 hours in PS7. my line art's a bitch to work with, now i know why halcyondf keeps bitchin `bout it when we did our collabs... the entire freaking thing is an iteration of 3 basic steps... Burn >> smudge >> Dodge >> smudge >> Burn >> ..... you get the idea. that's it. all burn adn dodge. and of course there's the base colour... used the colour scheme in ~nostyle's newest ID... i did the hair bad... gah! damnit...

This image looks BOSS, your coloring is excellent... the only thing I see that could be improved is the muscular structure on the right arm... the muscle you show joining with the elbow I don't think should be there. The two muscles you show continuing down the arm (which you colored beautifully), should actually continue to the opposite side of the elbow (the "elbow-pit," for lack of a better term, heh-heh). Besides that, I love the coloring and the sketchy outline style, great work! :-)
