Mass Effect - Kasumi Goto



Personal art of Mass Effect.
The sixth picture featuring Kasumi Goto

Basically Kasumi is leaning against a metal wall structure with her arms crossed. It is an easy and very universal character's introduction pose which I think suits her .The whole art kinda consists of highly contrast between shadow and artificial light where the first element defines Kasumi's stealthy class and the latter one nicely exposes her outfit materials as well as some background elements. I went for more blue and green tint on this piece even though the DLC had different colors' scheme but I wanted it to be akin to Thane's artwork somehow.

No photo tracing, overpainting or 3D models were used here. However I used ME2 screenshots for references (outfit and facial elements) and textured brushes. I just realized how great the PS dry brush can be in creating material texture. The original size is A4 with 300dpi. This is the fan and"skills-showing" portfolio art, so no copyright infringement was intended.
