Square-Enix and Tri-Ace's Valkyrie Profile Silmeria's coming out pretty soon (Sept in US, my #1 most wanted game), so I thought it's time to do some fanart. In actuality, I just wanted a wallpaper.
As it turned out, I spend 95% of the time on Silmeria since her armor is symmetrical and all and 5% on the background (you can tell). The background was planned to be more complicated than this (this is where Lenneth first arrive on Midgar, so there should be a town there, but it's in fog or maybe since this is a hundred years earlier, it doesn't exist yet, hehe), but I wanted to move on. There are some mistakes with her armor, since when I started, I only had small pictures. When bigger scans came out, I was already too far in.
I also planned to do a similar picture with Alicia, Princess of Dipan; but her clothing are even more complicated than Valkyrie's. So unless someone pays me...oh lets say $640.93, I'll put that one on hold.
That's so good. It would take me forever to get a background AND character that good. The character looks unbelievably smooth and well-finished, and the background has exactly the right sense of scale.
And how did you do that grass?

1) do patch coloring with the values of the areas you want.
2) with a custom grass brush set at 3-7% flow use the value of the area your coloring and color in layers.
3) try it out until you're happy with the result.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Did you use a software for the background?
Words cannot describe it, an absolutely unbelievable work of art. Bravo!
