First piece of the new semester! This one is for my digital illustration class, in which I decided to focus on the non-fan version of Spark. Her back story is fleshed out quite well now, thanks to a manic all-nighter last week, drinking too much white tea. (can you ever have too much?)

Anyway! This was the first assignment for said class, which is due tomorrow morning. I'm REALLY not a digital artist, so I surprised myself with this one. Small things to fix, don't care though. This is just the first foray into digital painting this semester, other pieces await my attention.

Anyone curious about Spark's backstory (the one not based out of the Marvel universe), I'm considering making a comic. It would be a pretty huge project for me, so it won't happen any time soon. But I'm so in love with this character that I would like to do it someday on my own time.
