Finally finished new art of my Corpo/Assassin V, and I am very proud of it
To see a write-up on this piece, as well as the symbolism, and a colouring timelapse, please check under the read more!!!
This piece is meant to show how my V, in their role at Arasaka, is constantly being watched; as well as how they believed they had freedom, but they were just a puppet all along.
Quote from this Vs upcoming fic:
“When Arasaka scraped me off the floor of that laboratory, I thought what they were offering me was freedom. Now I know it was never truly freedom at all. It was just another kind of cage.”
Here’s the process of this piece:
As you can see, the design did change a bit throughout the process. I wanted to have a more elegant feel, as well as more of a Japanese inspiration, given Arasaka and their origins.
Really pleased with how this turned out. It’s not as detailed as some of my other stuff, but I’m still really happy with it.
Here’s a timelapse of the colouring (warning for brief flashes of colour):
Yeah, I had alot of fun with this piece. And to think it was born from a wedding dress I saw when going through random fashion tags.
I decided to make my Vs scars gold this time, as if they were cybernetics, to echo the Japanese art of Kintsugi; which is the practice of repairing broken pottery with golden lacquer.
Detail closeups and alternative versions coming in their own separate post!!!
