Scroll down for new pictures but feel free to read! ^^b

Hey all! I think you're probably all fed up with me spamming senseless things that you came to forget why the heck I'm here. Well I can put pencils in my nose like you guys too!

As you might know I watched the Professional (friggin awesome film). And really liked it (so much I bought it next day on DVD) and got inspired by the two main characters which were very well played. I decided to create a character based on them and this is what I currently got.

I wanted to get the face expression found in the dvd booklet... but I failed miserably, if you don't think so... then that face was supposed to be Natalie Portman. But I was trying to mix realism with anime.
The final version will be full black and white with maybe a touch of red.

Here is a wip picture, tell me what I can STILL fix and I need some neat gun refs... like 9mms and shit... But I dunno nething bout cool guns. Maybe one silver looking one and the one with silencer on top... that's cool but yea need ref pics. I'll have to study chemise folds to get those hand folds right. My friends didn't like the haircut but I wanted to have the character's same haircut (>.<) (I also kept her neckband - for all those who saw the movie)!

I really want to get this piece right. (Beam's challenge omg... gotta finish that)!

For the character, there is a backstory I have in mind but I'll put that in the next update. This might be a cd cover logo for a school band I was part in called: Vendetta. That's why she's all mafia-style and wearing a black thing around the arm which in asian culture means that someone in the family died or something... but why is she wearing that if she's italian? Well... eat cheese batman.

The legs suck :\ . Everything else is nice I especially like the guns and hands since I suck at them.

Fix that face, dude. It's a good job anyway. The touch of red could be nice.

Great work. But the perspective of the head seems wrong... and the eye is misplaced.

From what I read the eyes a little misplaced, I agree. The perspective of the face? Explain more please. The legs suck? I see no reason why they should man.

I'll try to update this by weekend.

You should outline the sillhouette of the face because it blends into the hair and looks odd. It makes the perspective on the face all messed up. The pants look a bit flat, with nothing but black they dont seem to have any form, perhaps if there were a few accesories or at least something to balance all that black on the pants maybe it would look better. I really like this drawing though, especialy the hands.

its just black all the way through the pants man
the pants dance!
no but seriously
get some wrinkles on those pants

even neo or trinitry from the matrix had wrinkles

Thanks for the crits.
I plan to make half the pic completely black (Right Side). Trying to mimick the Scarface cover.
I might add a long white highlight on the pants.

Any gun pictures and face pictures so I can get an idea how to fix it digitally?

nice its remind me of old comics so you got my support on all black pants and yea that eye is in front view

Front view is correct its the rotation that needs to be fixed. I checked reference photo and the eyes are front view since the angle the head is turned isn't enough to change the shape of the eye that much but since I drew it with a bad angle I have to rotate it correctly.

Whoa! I see the slight difference! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS lol

Deathnote manga just got good now! :)
Im going to Italy for 2 weeks soon. YEa!

Thanks for the help Wormy lol. Now green rep me I dunt like ur pedophile rep.

UPDATE

Attached is the scanned and resized lineart and a quick photoshop fiddling of the lineart so you peeps can have an idea of what the final picture should look like.

Changes:
-Guns and arms fully inked. (Used printout reference and me in a chemise... O.o)
-Eyes tried to edit them. Tell me what you think I really need your opinions.
-Cleaned a bit more.



I'm going for Italy in 3 days!!!
Don't forget to check the ps quickie that I didnt img tagged.

Thanks for your dad's life story o_O . Her thumb looks extremely awkward other than that nice job (besides the legs).

In italy were? Rome? Neaples? Cologno Monzese?

Sorry Worm, I gotta stick with the school and I'm going to various places in Italy (the popular ones). Thumb on which hand?
No more testS!!! YEA!

Now I can work on making the final version. ^^b
