The primary requirement of this piece, was that I use the exact same pose of Elena as originally drawn by Kinu Nishimura http://www.sfgalleries.net/art/sf3/sf3/series1/elena.jpg

1) Inked in lines using Pentel Brush Pen.
2) Using Sharpie, coloured up the aspects of her with some vibrant colours.
3) Here we have the final, with Copic Markers used for her flesh, hair and clothing.
