Sherry LeBlanc - Lili Cosplay
One day, I rewatched some episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, then saw the part that where Sherry was kicking the crap out of Bruno & then I thought, Sherry is like Lili from Tekken. Both were: blonde, french, & has a faithful bulter. Seeing as I also got a request to vector her one again, 2 birds, 1 stone...or pen tool.
I actually had to combine 4 images to make what you see now. I cannot emphasis enough on how hard it is to do the outline w/ shape layer. It takes too much time & effort but I love using that style & thus took me 1 week to finish the outline alone (breaks & sleep included). Coloring was easy except for that bloody ascot. As for the background, I just took if off the same episode I was talking about earlier.
And if you don't believe me that there's fisticuffs on a show about card games on motorcycles, here's part of the episode that I was talking about: [link]
It's around at 0:40 & at 1:55
