It's finally done!
I realised all of my work looks pretty static so I wanted to paint something with a sense of movement, and somewhere along the line I ended up drawing Talim from Soul Calibur.

Needs a cooler background but I didn't know what to do...

Went all out on this one so I hope you like it. :D
Download it to see the details (:

I think it's safe to say that you have outdone yourself to a truly unfathomable degree, Stevie.
This is astounding. End of.

Wow. Where to begin with something like this...? Well, first of all, this definitely isn't what one would call a static image. If you had to go with one character where movement would be important, you can't do much better than Talim. Just as important, though, this was well-executed, as Talim's pose presents a fierce, yet beautiful expression.

That alone would have made this a good piece, but the overall detail of this image puts it on a completely different level. Full downloads are often requested from the artist, but any other kind of view in this case wouldn't do this image justice. From the strands of the hair to the folds and semi-transparency of her pants, it appears that nothing was sparred in order to make sure that Talim looked true to her SCIV form. It's the type of detail that would require a really close look at her character model in order to make sure everything was in place.

As it stands now, even the background works, as it not only shows of the details and shading very well, but seeing as how Talim is using her Soul Calibur/Soul Edge combo weapon, it simply makes sense. Without hyperbole, this is quite possibly the best Talim fanart I've seen, and from an artistic perspective, the idea and the effort behind this piece was top-notch.

Amazing job!

The black and white background looks fine, it distract from the colour and also it goes with the weapon placement. Once again Stevie you've raised the bar for everyone on our course ;)
