About Tifa
For anyone who don't know, Tifa is one of the favorite heroines from a famous RPG game, the Final Fantasy VII.
She appears with a new look on the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children the Movie, the movie that made her one the most prettiest CG girl ever created.
She is a bright and optimistic person, and always cheers up the others when they're down.
But don't let her face fool you, she has mastered hand-to-hand combat and she can decimate almost any enemy with her fists.
She is one of the main members of ' Avalanche', an anti-Shinra organization.
A childhood friend of Cloud, and although she has strong feelings for him, she will never spoke of it.

Personal Note
I am not quite satisfied about the face, she still looks different. I guess i still have to work on my skill a lot more.
Anyway, drawing her is a hell lot of fun, i decided to give a more sexy look on her and unzipped a bit of her torso armor ^__^ wii
She is so pretty, and i love every minute i spent working on her.

Technical Side
Photoshop CS 2, using the refined MVP technique (Masked Vector Painting). You can read more about MVP technique on my journal.
The technique is using photoshop vector art, so it can be resizable to any size needed without any pixelation problem, and vector art also mades the details deadly sharp : )
Tools: Mouse.. well, um.. i don't have any tablet ^___^!! and besides, you need mouse to create a vector shape.

Reference
All the Tifa images i could found from the internet.
It's s a little hard though, since there were not many decent pictures of her from the Advent Children series.

How Long
50 hours.

A lot of thanks to one of my best friend in DA,
Seing her doing so many good artwork in just a little time, has keeping my inspiration on and on. Thank you ^___^
