Description

My friends and I have been messing with possible game mechanics for a zombie survival dnd game set in modern times. We've been talking about it so much that I got in the mood to draw a "survivor" from that world. The survivor I thought up is a Japanese American named Shione Tsuruda. (Shione- "sound of the sea" Tsuruda- "Crane's Rice Field" *int)
I took some inspiration from a drawing a did recently, so she's got some tattoos lol. The sleeve is a crane standing in a rice paddy with shion flowers in the moonlight near the sea with the water from the field dripping down into one large "droplet" with a picture of her boyfriend in it sitting on a chair, the "droplet" is falling in to a caricature of a heart opened at the top in a cartoonish "maw" to "nom nom" her family and lover to hold them in her heart, below the heart is a banner with the Kanji for Ai, which means "love," repeated on it three times (like the Beatles song All You Need is Love). On the opposite side of the heart on her forearm, there is the Batman logo.
Another visible tattoo in this picture is a bird cage over her heart. This tattoo was edited after her heart was "unlocked" by her boyfriend. The edit is the open cage door with Blackbirds (another Beatles reference) flying away from the cage overlapping into her arm sleeve.
On her back (which is unseen in this picture) There is a large piece of the best poker hand, A Royal Flush, with the suit being Hearts, surrounded by thorny vines and roses with another banner wrapping towards the small of her back that says, "Luck Only Favors the Bold."

About the drawing, it's amazing what low-opacity rectangles can do to make city scapes :iconvictoryplz:
I kept messing with different opacity levels for the sky as well to get the "cloud" effects. The Road was drawn by hand and I used my own shading to serve a "guidelines" for a pattern fill of a road texture. The drawing itself is kind of a throw back to Adalaide the Wastelander in terms of pose and mood.
