Wait for me at sunrise

I've decided to re-visit my cel shading art style recently and what better place to start than the DOA girls? Of course I've got to start with my favorite, Helena. I didn't base her dress on any of her existing outfits, but I'd say it definitely fits in with the style of her wardrobe. I figured out an easier way to do the cel shading on her hair - that had always been a trouble spot for me - so I think it works a bit better than my past efforts with this art style. As usual, lots of bright colors on her dress and of course she's got the fashion sense to coordinate her make-up with her outfit.

I'm not sure exactly what the title for this one is supposed to mean...but I wanted to put a sunrise sky background behind her. I think the sky turned out pretty well. I tried to be careful with the colors used to get the right feel. I put a shadow mask over Helena to make her fit with the ambient lighting. I suppose the weakest part of this is Helena's simple pose but I hope the colors and overall atmosphere make up for that.

Enjoy!
