148 Tenshoukyaku

Spinning Bird Girl

Description

It’s been a while I’m afriad since the last picture. Again, a few pictures have been done in that time, but were binned. I must do more though…

As for todays picture we have Chun-Li performing her spinning ‘Tenshoukyaku” (‘Endless Rising Kick’). I’ve always preferred her outfit from the Street Fighter Alpha series compared to her qipao . It’s certainly more practical for fighting, and eliminates the need for pant-shots.

It was yet another experiment with colours, I wanted to do a nice early-evening kind of picture with blurred out trees and some sunlight coming through. The more I went at this the worse it got, so I scrapped it and went for blinding light to create a nice glow. It left her skin a bit orange, but I like it. There’s lots of detail such a small picture hides, but it’s all there, trust me!
