I don't think I had much in mind. Just enjoyment. - **Hours Spent:** 6 ## Intro I painted this Lightning bust from Final Fantasy in 2021 or 2022 I think, but didn't really take good notes and am just now getting around to taking the photos. Don't have much else for this one other than the pictures. Apologies they also came out a little dark. ## Photos ![[IMG_4225.jpg]] ![[IMG_4226.jpg]] ![[IMG_4227.jpg]] ![[IMG_4228.jpg]] ![[IMG_4229.jpg]] ![[IMG_4221.jpg]] ![[IMG_4223.jpg]] ![[IMG_4224.jpg]] ## Lessons Learned - **Faces are important.** This one didn't turn out great in my opinion. Lips too strong, not enough color in the cheeks. I don't think I spent too much time on highlights and shadows on this figure and it shows. I just picked some existing store bought colors for the most part (I bet the skin is a Gaia Notes one).
