Brace yourselves...

Description

Well; I want to say this took about...3-4 days total to complete. Everything is my hand with brushes and layer modes and everything else.

I used Posemaniacs for Luna and Spot's poses and used 0 references otherwise.

I DID use 1 texture for the BG to give it the final touch:



The cover version with Text will be uploaded on the doujin account and will be used on my Smackjeeves profile:

Slayers: Divine at Smackjeeves

Known issues:

Spot's fur...I used a brush that simulated streaks but it wasn't quit giving me the rough effect I really wanted so I went over some parts with the pen tool and...he still turned out kind of shiny...that wasn't enough to deter me from posting it, rather, I want some feedback on that issue. It's fixable.

Xellos' yellow shirt thing...I think it's missing some color as well as shadows on his face. Because I was flying blind on this, I think it's acceptable all things considered.

Luna turned out pretty rockin'; the best of the the 3 even though most of my attention went to Xellos and Spot.

You get a low score on originality, because the shot of the group from a low angle is such a staple of anime.

However, I have been watching you for years now, and this is an excellent improvement. And I am glad you took a few days to do it right.

The glow effect from the sky is excellent, the crakles of lightning on the weapon, work in thumb, but look scribbly and unplanned.

Shading on all 3 charachters well done, and an excelling improvement.

Some things I would still like to see, the lightning effect actualy causing some lighting on the charachters. The charachters don't all seem to be stading on quite the same plane. I would like to see some more distinctive response from the clothing, panths thicker, shirts thinner, so more wrinkles, less wrinkles and and stiffer curves softer flowing.

Overall excellent piece for you.
