Unwanted Valentines: Leeloo Dallas

Unwanted Valentines: 

Leeloo Dallas

This "Unwanted Valentine" is from "The Fifth Element" (1997), a somewhat goofy, fun, sci-fi movie for which I have an inordinate fondness.

Happy Valentine's Day!  (Or, VD as I prefer to call it.)  :-)

STEP ONE:  Here are the digital pencils done with a 9 pt. hard brush on a 1,500px by 2,100px canvas at 300dpi.

STEP TWO:  The digital inks, again, mostly done with a 9pt hard brush.

STEP THREE:  Coloring was done over top the digital inks on a Multiply Layer.  After it was done, I dropped the resolution down to 200dpi, which reduced the canvas size to 1,000px by 1,400px for a smaller upload size.  I decided to keep the coloring stylized as its own design element, rather than a more realistically colored image.
