A Christmas gift for my sister Zimara and a painting I've been longing to do for some time now. The style is inspired by black & white character illustrations from Soulcalibur on the Sega Dreamcast, my vision was not to create a manga caricature instead simplicity is what echoes through, enhancing her features to make them more beautiful and stylized.

Here is Zimara holding my surprise Christmas gift. As you can see, the portrait was improved with her feedback. I explained my plans to create a series of portraits in this style and she was happy for me to display the piece online. A special moment for me.
