Description

After what feels like an eternity of being stuck in "limbo", the second of my "~kinesis" series of pictures (i.e. my OCs demonstrating their powers) is done. How do I feel about this piece? Well:

Body - All in all I'm REALLY happy with how the body came out, particuarly the shape of the torso and length of the legs. I do like to draw females with realistic proportions and I feel I managed to make Noir both busty but have a realistic body to compliment it (as opposed to EE boobs with a 10 inch waist). A lot of this does of course steam from all the amazing help people gave me during the WIP stages of this piece so as always a big thank you for your advice. Granted the hands are covered up so you can't really see how they turned out. Personally I think they came out well, especially considering how much of a nightmare I've found them so far.
Shading - Shading has ALWAYS been a pain for me. While I get the rough concept, some aspects such as "How much should the stage-left side of her body have...?" always seems to throw me. I do owe thanks to my friend Tom who offered me his thoughts on the shading when I showed him an early version.
Highlights - Once again I have to thank Tom for this suggestion. Normally I don't both with it but I do feel the picture was improved with me using it. Admittedly this may need to be something I fine tune in the future but Rome wasn't built in a day :).
Background - This was a bit of a pain. After the background I used in some of my recent collabs and comments about the lack of background in Cryokinesis I wanted to ensure Noir had something special in this pic. However, what sort should she have? I contemplated giving her a night background but realised it would contrast with the shading so went for a simple cloudy blue sky. Not overly original but I did struggle for ideas.
Effects - I love making nods to the past. For those who don't know, Noir was created during my period making sprite comics and as time went on the character developed various psychic powers, namely telepathy, telekinesis and the ability to manipulate a form of psy-energy. Back in the day I had actually saved a specific Photoshop style for the inner and outer glow effects and colours for easy access but due to computers breaking and/or upgrades lost access to it. Fortunately I was able to dig it out of an old sprite comic allowing me to use once again use it in a piece, albeit with a few mods such as an increase to the outer glow. I'll admit it doesn't quite look how I initially envisioned it (initially I hadn't thought about putting the psy-energy orbs in her hands) but I am pleased with the result and the fact I was able to use the old styling.

Fun Fact - The green eyes are based on a brief period when she had green hair. As mentioned, I like paying tribute to old ideas and decided to change her previously red eyes to green, even digging out an old file to get the exact shade I used.
