Bookend: thanks so much! yes, she shadow girl was a sketch i was trying to add some quick values and got carried away, spending like 15 minutes or so just adding lights. Yea, harsh shadows aren't a great way to make someone look pretty. I was kinda thinking of this metal album cover, (This picture is actually a man sitting crosslegged but the shadows make him look like a strange monster)

Well did a (3hr) painted study today and tried applying it, but the sophitia i had drawn ended up looking like a dude and i couldn't figure out how to fix it so i just quit the piece lol. Probably for the best,
i wanna try that 100 thumbnail things i think sulamoon was talking about in her interview. I've done about 15 so far lol, but i just deleted em. I wanna get around to doing some good soul calibur fan art sometime soon, but i'm not sure when. Till then i'll just draw some trashed party girls, as that always entertains me haha; It's surprisingly difficult to find good references for that topic, but it more lies in the charm of the subjects than the quality of the photos.
Finding well lit/hi res reference is quite easy, finding inspiring or charming reference is tough basically. especially ones that aren't heavily copyrighted!
