Mikaru (alchemist) summoning his Lif homonculus (Alena). (watermarked to keep this personalized for him.)

This is my first real cash commission that I had organized by myself. Overall, I'm really pleased with this. This is my first large CG which I had done a full digital outline (instead of just cheaping out by using my sketch as an outline). It took me a hell of a long time to outline it. Even longer to color it. Mikaru/Mike had also requested a few adjustments (added details to his character, requested a staff rather than an axe, since alchemist cannot wield staves) and that I make his Lif look more human, which led me to do a few drafts before settling on a final sketch (usually it only takes me one sketch to get what I want to be my final image).

In the end, he was very pleased with it. So I'm happy about this.~

Sketched on paper. Outlined and colored in Photoshop CS.

Time to outline: ~5 hours
Time to color: ~ 10 hours
Total time: ~15+ hours
