Description

The final product. I enjoyed drawing this one. Being a former squid myself, this was an honor.

I took some creative licence with Emily's hair. I lightened it up a bit and added more detail than what was available in the ref. photo. The skin tones proved to a bit tougher than I thought but I spent a little more time on them to get them where I wanted them. Shadows on a white uniform was a challenge as well. Its a very delicate ballance to make it look believable...well, at least for me.

I honestly thought this was a photo at first! You truly have a God-given talent and I would dare say you're probably the most talented artist I've seen here on DA. Oh, and thank you for your service, I'm prior service Army myself.
