When I was on the midway completing Motoko Kusanagi in this artwork [link] , I came to realize that her face was almost similar to Lightning's face... I kept on staring and staring until like "hmm... why not I use the same model and make her into Lightning?"

And from there I start changing her hair style, do some heavy modification in her face, put her outfit on and... TADA! It turned out as I planned.

But the background isn't what I was expecting... What I planned at initial was to building up my own imaginary Cocoon city in the night. Well, due to my lack of creativity, it turned out like... Ah, what the hell... I just use up the bird view screenshot of Cocoon City and put it as background LOL =P

Enjoy anyway! :D

[Edit - 8th April 09]

I've have re-polish the whole image into more 3D look and make the color deeper and vibrant. At the same time, the title has been changed into simpler version and placed beside Lightning. :D

Material Used:
Adobe Photoshop CS2/ CS3
Wacom Graphire 4

Completion Period: 2 months? (Seemed that I'm procrastinate again ^^")

Character Design: Tetsuya Nomura © SQUARE ENIX CO. LTD

Nice detail, and it's very crisp. Great work!

I have a question: would you consider submitting this to my website Final Fantasy Illumina ([link])? We'd love to have it in the gallery!

Hey, when I read your comment, I thought your question is just a part of message's signature... Then I read it once again, and I was surprise that actually it was an invitation!

Anyway, I did visited your website back then before I start off this artwork. It's really awesome and I did love to submit one of my artwork there.

So since you're here, why not? =P How do I submit?
