I've recently managed to get my hands on an artbook by Masamune Shirow and after seeing his work I just had to try a picture with that kind of feel. This actually didn't take as long to colour and shade as I originally thought it would, but as a whole it did take quite a while, and has kept me productive through a bout of apathetic depression and writer's block. I was aiming for a very disquieting look to her, and I think I've managed to get that. My second real photoshop effort.
