finally finished this! finally! those of you who know me, know how long i've been working on this picture. her hair. was ridicoulsly hard. and those ribbons. omg x___x all in all i think this picture took about four days to color. four days- straight. AND along the way i've had tons of help~ critiques, opinions, suggesstions, comments and guidance from some of my most talented and cherished artist friends. you know who you all are :heart: so thank you from the bottom of my heart!
anyway~ i just hope i did her justice. she's hands down the coolest aeon in the game....excpet for anima... he was cool too!

yay! one of tha coolest characters from any game! (or.... what... like 4 games?... how many ff games was shiva in anywho?)
(otherwise it'd blend in)
anyway... ^^ the highlights of colour you chose were amazing... and overall, the shading is quite realistic! i think the hip/thigh width was a little strangely distributed.. but still. the proportion in this picture is fantastic! i love how you didn't use the generic black outline and instead made the background a colour other than white to show that some areas of this specimen are white
yet again... beautiful work.

My favorites are, of course, Shiva and Anima. Great job. I absolutely adore Shiva, and you have captured her well. The pose, the lighting, the expressoion. I definitely congratulate you on your feature. It was well worth it.
fav
However, I must tell you something. I have to correct something. Because if I don't, IT WILL DRIVE ME INSANE.
You see, Anima is a woman. SHE is female. Anima = she, her, girl, woman, female, ect. I'm not gonna post the spoiler cuz some people may ACTUALLY still be playing the game/ planning on playing it now that they've seen this picture (I do, too.) But Anima is MOST DEFINITELY female.
