Radiant Photoshop: Winged Lily

As promised, here's a photoshop I did of Saber Lily. Taken from Kodomut's awesome idea of putting feathers on Lily, I decided to try one using photoshop.

Here's a youtube video of it being painted. Took me about an hour to do this:

Not much extra content other than a buncha nendoroids fooling around (and a wallpaper of the image), but here's the full post if you're interested:

      yeah, I noticed that too. There must be some sorta database error. It was working a moment ago. I guess you'll just have to check back later. :\

        Awesome!...I just watched it with HD on. Did you use a tablet, or just a mouse?

          Thanks! I used a tablet. I don't think I'd be able to do this with a mouse. I used to, about 12 years ago. Now I can't live without it. ^_^

    Oh my god this blew my mind away!!! I can't believe it takes you only an hour to pull off something this amazing, this is too great! Did you use a regular tablet, or a cintiq or mouse?

    Any chance to get a full res. of this image?

      I used an intuos 3. Cintiq is VERY expensive. Maybe when I'm rich, I'll buy one of those.

      Sure, I'll put the full res one on my website, just for you Yaku! <3

              Most places don't require credit card - just paypal. You can link your paypal account to your bank account.

              hobbysearch, hlj, e2046 all do paypal.

    Looks elegant.. This needs to be made in "huge paperweight format".. Though at the size of Saber lily's figure.. This would probably become a shelf hogger O_o

    Awesome work there..... Could imagine just rendering out the figurine takes a long time even for me when I use a tablet. However maybe the background lighting and contrast could be improved? Overall its a fabulous piece of work!

    I'm not sure why I didn't comment on this when I first saw it posted. o.o Anyway, not only was the original photograph good, but the wings take it to a level of epicness! I wonder if this will inspire anyone to get wings for their DD Saber Lily. . .
