Guns and Lace

I think it's a good demonstration of the balance of power between them. Riza is definitely an assertive, yet feminine woman and Roy isn't the type to let anyone walk all over him (or is he? ).

I like to experiment a lot with textures and shading. It gives everything a very unique style. If you want to know how I did anything in particular, just ask

Depends on what they're wearing.... But it *is* a good example of their relationship.

The shading on Riza's upraised leg, did you get the different shades by going lighter with the base color and layering the lighter shades with smaller brush strokes? I like to use a fuzz brush like that but do you do it differently?

I do things so differently than anyone I know... it's kind of funny.

Her stocking base was done in a darker color and then I altered the opacity. Then I did two layers, one thick light line and one thicker darker shade at the bottom of her leg. Then I selected about half of each line and Gaussian blurred it and smoothed it out with the blur tool.

I'm going to have to try that, I've never used Gaussian blur since I never really figured out what it does. And doing things differently is very good sometimes

I think my techniques give my art a unique look to it. Now I'm working on creating textures more than shading. Yay for experimentation

I like Riza's the best. I had her biting at her lower lip in the outline, but I don't think I quite pulled it off when I colored it.
