Artist's commentary
Paz
The original picture of Paz Ortega Andrade, in which I tried my hardest to imitate artist Ashley Wood, who did most of the art for Peace Walker (ironically, this was something I've had a LOT of experience with back in the day: [link]). Problem is, Wood doesn't really provide much artwork of women who are not almost completely disrobed and likely touching themselves; I used my MGS2: Sons of Liberty comic book for reference, but again.
I spent over a day on this piece, and even though the original pic was never finished, I still liked it enough to turn into my avatar pic (so yes, you can stop asking about it now).
