Alright, this pic kinda got big.

I mean, it got HUGE!!

So big I can't even put it on this page; now that's big. I mean, 700x768 pixels? Phew... my largest before, Purple's Love, was only 550x500! I kinda got big after I began adding the finishing touches and stuff. I've been working on this one since the thirteenth. Can't believe how much time I spent on it. I've decided to start logging my hours to see the exact number of hours it takes to make these pics.

Yeah yeah I know: the last three pics have all been related. I didn't intend to make a sequel to the Daughter of Design; it just happened. You want to see how this pic started off? Scroll down real quick.

See the stick? Yep, that's how I started it. Man, I saved ALL the processes I went through to make Design's Reign. I mean, I couldn't make a step-by-step tutorial with everything I saved! I have at least thirty-four pics that lead up to this one. I have half a mind to put some of them up here and show you just what I went through.

I started off making the skin darker, wanted to do something a little different, but I ended up going with that pale marble skin that Daughter of Design has, so I decided that this would be another pic of her. I was kinda drawing inspiration from this watercolor that I had done awhile back; thought I would make a digital version of it, but of course, that didn't happen... She was originally wearing a long skirt, but I ran into trouble when my eraser stopped working. It still doesn't work, which really bites; I've had to improvise big time. Okie, so, as for the skirt, I ditched it for sorta arabic pants, and that matched the top better anyway. ;-) Hmmm... is there anything else I should mention? Ah yes:

This is the first pic I've done of a full human. I've done two from the shoulders up, one from the left eye up, and one from the mid-back up, but never full until now. So, um, give me a break if it's not perfect... okie enough for now; click on Design's Reign to see its full size; I stronly recommend it if you haven't done so already(links open in new window).
