"Kiss of the Kite" by Peng-Peng (will update to a DA link when it's a available)

This was a commissioned piece from Peng-Peng of DA. I asked if she would use the outfit Sargasso373 made, since it matches a ski outfit better than I can do in-game.

The setting is that Red Kite (who is madly in love with Turbo-Ski) has captured her prey and is about to give a fiery hot french kiss to Turbo-Ski. As you can see, Turbo-Ski isn't quite willing to give up that easily and is hastily trying to cut through her bindings with an ice knife.

I can't say I'm completely satisfied with it but then again I can't say I'm completely disappointed either. With some touch-up work in Photoshop when I have free time, I think I can make it look better than it is now.

How was the sketch.. and did you see the mistakes in it before the final?

the sketch was fine, the colors are too glossy and have weird discolored lines where the sketch lines were. I plan to go back over and smudge out those weird lines on the high res file. dunno what I'll do about the big unnecessary blotchs of white yet.

I can see what you mean. I do like the lines but the coloring looks a little rushed/sloppy. The shininess of their costumes is a bit overdone and doesn't match the crate they are perched on.

I'm tellin' ya... you need a 3D version of Turbo

I love seeing how often she appears in art. She's very recognizable.

I dunno, it sounds like you would enjoy that far far too much

And if it were a pin-up, even more so!

I've been having such an urge to do a really classic pin-up =/
