Soph Darling's Dinner Date Dress

In another universe, in a galaxy not too dissimilar to ours, Soph Darling didn't have Peter Parker as her first date. But there was still a dress involved.

For this one, I wanted to steer away from the fantasy and sci-fi vibes, but focus more on something from our world with a bit of classiness. I had a vision in mind from the start, so it didn't take much to come up with rough concepts and run from there. A long black/blue dress inspired by 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' was the way to go.

As for the technique, I was still riding the high of my 'fake anime screenshot' colouring and rendering process, but I wanted to try and see it applied to something fully digital. While I still do like the effect, I think I still have to tweak my toolkit a bit to get the same or similar effect in full. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the process, and I still love the way this concept came together!
