Ok, so back to this Illyana piece, here's what I got so far. Not bad if I do say so myself. This is my 2nd time attempting this painterly style. The first time came last week, when I accepted a commission from an agency in Wisconsin. Their project required a photo-realistic style so I kinda just dove into it hoping for the best. It's crazy how I  actually learn stuff sometimes.

Photoshop does take a longer time to get to where I want it, but I have to say that the payoff at the end  is kinda worth it. So I guess I don't totally hate it.

For awhile now, I've felt that my vector stuff was really starting to plateau so yeah, I guess this is a painting and I'm painting now. If that's the case, this is the only painting I've ever done that I've actually liked.

I might actually finish this tomorrow.

PS: I kinda can't wait to get started on my next piece now.
