Sakiko Ryuuzaki

This is my lame entry for 's Contest.

Well maybe it's not lame considering It took me forever to finish in one day, no one really knows how hard working with oober small pixels is like, seriously my eyes hurt. And I also learned something new too to help the lightsaber stand over transparent background.

This is based off of =Sakiko-Art's Jedi Master Robe [link]

The hardest thing to do was the hair, OMFG it was so hard, I had to create the hair grounded up with 5 different shades of brown, making every curl perfect giving her hair body....blah and i swear Saki if you start making your OC with more then blue highlights im going scream order blooding murder 66, XD not really, that was a pain too, but I did it! i ended up adding the blue in GIMP instead of Microsoft Paint, just duplicated the layer and then turned her into a smurf and then erases the tips of the brown hair letting the blue show threw and blending it a bit, also added the tattoo in GIMP which was my last step since I almost forgot about it. No wait I lied the last thing I did was put it back in Microsoft Paint before reopening it in GIMP and made her ear elvish.

Now for the Lightsaber showing over the transparent layer(main layer with Sakiko on it), I made a separate layer just for the lightsaber like i always do then Screen it after i made the saber blade duplicated that twice and then Gaussian Blurred it then colorized it to blue, then i added a new layer underneath the main layer(saber layer is on top of main) and that new layer is a blue background layer and i erased most of it but not where the lightsaber is at that shows onto the transparent part, with not erasing that part it shows the glow instead of hiding it if i never added it, i may show a tutorial for it, i think i confused you all.

Since I'm done now with it, I'm going to go to bed with nightmares from it. Damn Jedi going to haunt me in my dreams i should of never join the darkside. XD

Anyway Enjoy! May The Force Be With You!
