Hello everyone, here's my first wall this year, which thankfully I managed to finish between semesters. Guess it's my first real try at close-up detailed wall, which is something I wanted to do in a while :3
Seems that the scan I used is not available on AP, but it comes from newest Black Lagoon artbook by creator of series, Rei Hiroe.http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9854/605521v.jpg
Hopefully you all enjoyed watching progress that I kept posting on shoutbox, it was a new experience for me and it was cool to recieve some opinions on an ongoing WIP :)
Also would like to thank my buddy Nysha who helped with suggestions, and showed me that in 15 minutes she can do better stuff with it than I could while spending weekend on it. Still, it was a good motivation, and helped me balance finishing touches. It would be much worse without your help Nysho :)
Hope you all like it :) Also sharing some Evangelion playlist I've been listening to :3 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkSuZ-CcPshWid8S97StQGlfjyppAdKvH&feature=mh_lolzAlso, source for texture used: http://www.highresolutiontextures.com/4-grunge-concrete-wall-textures

Good work Deto, Revy looks freaking awesome. The whole mood and color scheme and the look in Revy's eye just makes this really cool message "Somebody is about to be killed!" It's very well done. Don't feel down about Nysha being such a good waller...she's been at it for longer than I've even used Photoshop I think. It's good that she helped you, and you will become a better waller by it too. Just make sure to stick to your own ideas too.

Yay it's done! :D So proud of you for not giving up even through all those frustrations. It was my pleasure to help you stay motivated - and to show you all that extra ps stuff. :3 Just look at your efforts now! Hope you are proud and maybe you might make some more wallies like this in the future. You know I'll still be around the same as always of course! 8D

Nice wall, nice glowing effect, it's really stunning, I cant imagine how long it took to make it look that good! I love the overall colors, I guess thats complemented by the nice warm glow from the cigarette. Nice background too, subtle but keeps the focus on the nice glow foreground! Great work! Clap!

That lighting glow is damn! ( o_o)-b Everything is really well done, colours, light, background, shadows., Your first time at close up? nailed it alright. Specially like the balance of where you decided to place the light and the shadows. The Hair, Eyes and Cigratte as the highlights... Another wall well done, a big improvement !

It's being a while since I saw one of your works and omg, this is simple amazing! You astonish me each time! Great job with this marvelous piece!

This looks well done. The texture and color makes her eyes look intimidating in a sense. The dark background and her cigarette makes her face makes the mood adds to that intimidation, as well. Great Job!!

Absolutely amazing work Deto... just beautiful work!!
Your hard work has definitely paid off and I must say I'm rather envious of that lighting... just gorgeous. For me though, her eyes are the star of the show, I just love the light,depth and life you've infused them with. And considering the scan you started with, OMGoshness you are a master my friend!! Just lovely and a definite Fav!!

The wall is good (good vector as usual, I have nothing better to say) and I like the glow from the cigarette. Good contrasting tones for the bg and character and all I can say is that I love the overall colours and composition. Great job once again, deto. ^^

THIS IS REALLY STUNNING!!!
The most awesome thing about this wall was the lighting. You've really used the lighting to your advantage, by making her face be the focus. Her scary facial expression have become more DRAMATIC, in a sense that I was a little bit startle for the first 3 seconds. I really love the orange shade that you've added in her eyes, as if she's going to kill me LOL. The vectoring that you've done here was not that very detailed compared to other wallers but I think it was still NICE, CLEAN AND LOVELY! I just love the wall texture that you've used in the background, fairly a very good choice. And I would also like to point out the awesome cigarette glow and the smoke was really frickin hot. Overall, you are one of the wallers that I really look up to, I was really glad you've made another wall. For that, all can offer to you is my BIG SALUTE!!!! Added this to my favs.
