Shiki FTW! Faye will be featured in an illustration next month.
First of all, I thought Shiki was Ryona. I haven't seen Shiki in her uniform for a while so I didn't know she was in the same team as Yumi. You Senran Kagura folks know. Shiki's color palette was also nice so I added her in the polls. Personally Homura is my favorite, they might change in the future. The team leaders are pretty badass themselves so I have to put them into their own categories.
This process was wild. I nailed the pose first try but the hat placement took a bit of adjusments. I think I discovered a new tech on this piece that increase my efficiency by 10%. Not exactly a tech but an adjustment to my process. You folks already know I paint my flats until it reaches a quick rendered piece complete with AO, textures and gradients. What I do after that is add the shadows and it takes a lot of time cus' it has to fit the flats lighting setup. Basically I added the shadows at the start and adjusted the rest .
Anyways, I hope you folks like it. I was very stacked this month so my works are a bit sloppy at some parts. Hopefully I can do better next month and thank you for the support.
