A bit of character design...

Something i did recently as a warm up exercise... which i got a little carried away with... around 5 hours work.

Photoshop CS5

Update: Just corrected the face structure, around 5 minutes edit... too many people said it looked like a man... had to change that. :)

Let us now see, Blade Runner.. is the very first thing popping into my mind!

Love the lighter style you've got going here, the emotion she express is unique.. quite sad and melancholic, which actually crashes with everything else and thus creates more of an emotional impact.
And concerning the transparent apparel, you managed to pull off the transparency very well, astonishingly well, only note is that the highlights could have been stronger, as the green waist wrapping seems to be just as domination value wise. Leaving room for a sharper look trough contrasts.

Overall an interesting piece, and by 5 hours this is a great progression practice when it comes to establishing the composition.

So remains the big question, did you use any references?

Ah haaaa you picked up on that quickly... i was indeed inspired by Bladerunner and kind of fitted her into that type of environment. And thank you for your feedback, i am glad you liked her transparent apparel, i was initially curious to how it turned out, and i am pleased with the resulting effect. I see what you mean about highlights though. With it being as glossy as it is... it would perhaps have more opaque reflective lighting in places. And yes i am happy with the results when considering the production time was quite low in hours.

And yes i used one photograph as reference... i needed a little encouragement with her anatomy and referenced a picture to get it right... other than that... no other reference was used :)
