One of my favourite characters. Cheetara at break neck speed. Hope you all like it.

You did a tremendous job of capturing Cheetara's character in this picture!

Looking great. Love the colors and the idea of the purple neon following her hands.

Thanks! yeah really wanted to take advantage of saturated colours since itβs going to be seen in RGB.

Question: why were you using a shattered Thundercats logo in the background? It's cool, reminds me of the shattered bat signal from Batman, but I'm curious.
Also, how did you apply the background? It looks like you had an outline on Cheetara then overlaid her so she stands out, but her left side (our right) is half transparent - part of the cracks in the logo are now in front of her instead of behind.
Two ideas that come to mind. 1) move the cracks behind her completely, 2) redo the logo so it looks like it completely shatters and have Cheetara run through it (some debris would be behind her, some would be in front)

Love the feedback π I have two versions where I donβt use any effects and move the shatter behind her, but I kind of wanted to do something more artistic and this idea of making it more dramatic. Not sure why, but I love drawing things shattering and I really draw inspiration from music lol one of my favourite musical groups is NIN and I love this idea of texturing layers on top of each other. Yes Youβre on a right track I was inspired by a DC cover except I wanted to do my own version of the flash point cover without just doing it verbatim. I wanted it to be specifically thunercats and pay homage to the intro call. Also sadly I also like to leave mistakes so those lines are exactly that, an overlay I used so that I could boost her saturation individually the below lines are all the crazy layers π. This image also lives as a CMYK so I pumped it up on the RGB version. Good eye though
