Artist's commentary
SAO - Asuna commission
New Zealand Scenery! Love
I wouldn't consider myself a SAO fan at all, but I was paid very well to make this commission Nod
Featuring scenery photographed by the commissioner herself in beautiful New Zealand and used for this background. The fall/autumn colours compliment Asuna's hair brilliantly. NZ really does have amazing lakes. I need more roadtrips to see them myself! I live just a few hours drive from all these places.
You might notice that the breastplate is metallic instead of cloth-white. I think this makes WAYY more sense but it would also cost a lot more to animate like this. Ohwell.
