Baten Kaitos-Lyude

"Rare Shot of Lyude"
"Lyude's military training prevents him from smiling in battle, but all rules have exceptions. Considered a high-quality portrait, this picture should fetch a good price."



Lyude from Baten Kaitos, having just Sforzondoed someone's head in. Meanwhile, the rose-tinted Diadem clouds float by in the background. In this picture, Lyude looks somewhat, well, lewd. AH HAHAHAA! *gets shot*

Ahem. I love this game even though it's definately not everyone's flavor. I even love the hideous voice acting. And for those of you who don't know who Lyude is, HE is a guy! Not a girl! Just because he wears lipstick and earrings and has gorgeous lashes doesn't make him automatically female. Hmm, he's not the only guy in Baten Kaitos to wear makeup (Geldoblame) and some of the girls plaster it on pretty heavily (Melodia).

Anyways, halfway through coloring this picture, I received a revelation and suddenly figured out how to control and use the pen opacity in Photoshop! Now Photoshopping has become an utter nightmare to an absolute joy! I'll have to consider this my most successful Photoshopping to date. Drawn in pen, colored in Photoshop, some of the clouds and the card came from other sources.
