Saw this base by Purity, and decided to give it a shot. Big credit to her for the pose, which is an excellent resource.

Also tried a bit of a different method with this, given how tedious I find digital inking. Bought a set of felt tips, and used this for the lines, then shaded (in the very loosest of senses) with the pencils I could find. Not exactly polished, but at least it's as complete as it's ever going to be, unlike my flat colour stuff. Finished off with a few digital effects in the background.

This is as close as I've got to a reference of Talie. Pretty pleased with how the shoes came out. Now if only my writer's block would pass, so I can get on with the story.
