EDIT: I have changed the original image with a smaller sized one, to have a better view and is easier on the eyes.

You can find the supersize version here:

Thanks!



Greetings friends!

My apologies for my lack of activity lately,
I have been battling some health issues the past month,
but it is okay now:)

Here I have a personal project that I wanted to do for quite some time now.

As soon I have heard James Cameron is planning to make a movie based on the original manga and anime, I have delved a bit into this character and the World she belongs to, and what can I say? It's awesome.

I hope Cameron is going to do this project asap,
but AVATAR 2 isn't too bad either:P

The painting is a (sort off) direct translation of the character, but depicted realistically, while trying to maintain here prominent facial features.

There have been already tons of Alita Fan Art, many of them are wonderful, I hope this one is a worthy addition

Painted with PS CS3 and Wacom Graphire 4 tablet

Painting time: loooong

PLEASE view Fullsize!:D

note: the image is rather big:P

Thanks for stepping by and as always crits and comments are most welcome

Thanks a bunch!


Vin

as someone who is a Battle Angel Alita Fan for serveral years i have to say that i dont like the mouth at all.
She has really big lips (which is an important attribute in the character design and also often parodised in the Manga). Also the eyes should be bigger to fit the japanese manga style. This way it looks americanized.
I most likely sound rude in this comment, but it is meant as constructive feedback and since this series is one of the few i really like it was important for me to point that out.

The part i really like about this picture is the composition and coloring. Also the hair and jacket are HQ stuff!

Hey thanks for your crit...it's really appreciatd. :)

I would like to say that the goal was to take the original look (which I find is very cool!) and make it
fit somehow in an James Cameron-esque (and americanized) version.

So you are right that it looks americanized, but it was intentional;)

Thanks again!


Vincent
