Description

OH. MY. GOSH. :iconspazattackplz:

This is a redraw of a picture that I drew one year ago which happens to be one of my favorite pieces that I have EVER drawn. Over the course of the last year I kept going into the original in order to make little edits here and there until NumeroDos02 said "You should just redraw it." I didn't think I had time, but her words truly inspired me so I had to drop everything in order to do it.
Though I am a tad late. Due to real life circumstances I couldn't post it on the exact day, even if it was ready.


This picture...:iconimdeadplz: I LOVE this picture. It shows not only improvement, but the design of the villain, Cynthia (left) as well. Originally I had drawn just Alchemy (right), but the piece didn't feel complete so I took a concept sketch I had done of Cynthia in order to make it a full picture. Sad thing was that it just didn't feel right because Cynthia is not only strong, she is classy (sexy) woman with perfect posture and would wear a dinner dress to fight a girl prophesied to kill her. So, Cynthia was my least favorite part of the original image and yet here it feels as if she may steal the show from Miss Alchemy. Regardless, I love (so much) how both of them turned out.

The eyes here are the closest I have gotten thus far to the look I want to eventually achieve. I also love the shading here, the coloring of the metals, the flow of their hair, and TEARS! It feels like I am doing so many pictures this year that involve sweat/tears just because I love the look I am trying to achieve.

Okay. Okay. I will shut up now because I don't know what more to say and I'm starting to feel like I'm rambling. However, to everyone who liked the first piece from one year ago I want to say that I hope you enjoy the recreation of one of my most precious works.

Both this and the original image were inspired by this song: youtu.be/KZXRgRkwkIQ?t=18s

Special Thanks to:

RoseMei for her sweet words and helpful little tips as well as
xXRTRXx for his constant support, and his ridiculous love of Cynthia.
