Ryza from the Atelier Ryza game and anime series is absolutely one of our favorite characters ever — but it's not her alone that makes Head_Cha_La's piece incredible. The skin and hair rendering here is godly. This is a fantastic study for light and shadow on the stomach, especially around the tummy and belly button; how to use hard lighting in some places, and soft in others, to convey softness where you want the character to appear delicate.
And that's to say nothing of the incredible subsurface scattering in Ryza's hair, which has a glossy gradient and is partially erased over her forehead to allow her skin color to seep through. Every possible element of this drawing is operating at a 10/10 level to create one of the single best pieces of art we've featured on Sheepish Dreams to date!
