Been working on 's commission, and this is the final result!
I was given the pleasure to play a little with the art style, and decided to take inspiration from two artists I admire a lot: Rimebane and Hong Soon Sang, from Tumblr.

The thing I have found so fascinating with Hong's art style, is how incredibly minimalistic his style is. It has no light sources, and only just a tiny bit of shadow - yet it's just enough to define the shape.
The same goes to Rimebane, and what this artist does, is to ply with the channels, to create a tiny bit of 3 Dimensional effect by pushing the channel layers, to make the figure "pop" from the canvas.
You can check out both of the amazing artists here (I'll warn you that little of Rimebane's art is SFW material - now you know!):

@ I hope you like the outcome of this portrait, and that it was worth the trade! I have also added it in the print shop as a temporary addition, in case you would like to have it in physical form as well.

Comments and feedback is welcome!
