Jessica Chavez works with a video game company named Xseed and is largely responsible for translating, editing, and reimagining dialogue and text from the company’s remastered, ported Japanese titles (most notably the Lunar series). Essentially, she’s the localization lead, and it sounds like it’s a pretty tough job to do!
Having watched an interview with Jessica when assigned to make a portrait of her for Kill Screen Magazine, I was immediately surprised by how pretty she is—and was subsequently not surprised to find out that she has quite a few fans.
Funny thing is, I was really focused on just painting her face and I had not come up with anything interesting until the last day of production on Kill Screen Issue 1. Then it dawned on me to put her in front of Japan’s Rising Sun flag motif, not only for the metaphor but because… I dunno… I have this thing for circles nowadays I suppose.
This was painted in Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom Intuos 4.
