I penciled this pic of Kallista having fun with some innuendo way back in January 2015, and it kind-of sat in my "to-do" folders till today, when at the conclusion of two commissions and a free Sunday with nothing specific to work on, I picked this one since my newest character "Kallista" hasn't appeared in any artwork since June 2013, so it's long past high time I got her up on the top of my gallery.

Yes, the title is meant to be pseudo-dirty :D

Technical:

This marks the third pic I've attempted to process almost entirely via the open-source digital-painting app known as Krita. I'm trying to get familiar with its interface since it's next full release will feature frame-by-frame animation. It's also poised to blow GIMP out of the water :D

I hadn't originally planned to do a full shaded/highlighted job on this one, but I thought "the inks are coming along well, why not stream it?" So I fired up Open Broadcaster and went up on my Tigerdile channel, where I completed the inks and this color job in about 8 hours, while re-learning Krita's interface and tools. I'm nowhere near figuring all of them out (had to re-launch it once and mysteriously, the color probe tool had taken up residence on the eraser end of my tablet stylus...where the eraser tool was supposed to be). There's something about streaming that keeps you going past the point where one would normally bail out of a project, something about having an audience that makes you want to see the completion of whatever it is you're doing, so to that end, props to  rubbervixen,  ayanematrix and  drmanhattanmedic for sticking it out to the end while I figured out how to superimpose Kallista here upon a gradient with a white outline (had to switch to Picture Publisher for that part since it's more adept at this Photoshop-esque task than a digital-painting app like Krita).
