SF&F Picture 15 out of 26 by Elizabeth A. M. Burns.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Faerie Friend (Colour Comparison)

Here is a Blue Flower Faerie patting a friendly cat in her backyard.
This faerie can use her colour and wing shape as camoflage, allowing her to disguise herself as a blue flower when humans are nearby. Her wings form the petals, her hair the yellow centre, her green-clad body the stem, and her tanned arms the twigs.
I couldn't decide which style was better, so I posted both the pencil and computer coloured version here.
So tell me, which styel fo colouring works better for this faerie friend?

25 Aug 2005	Panda	Loading... I like the pencil version because it has more detail. Plus the cat's fur looks more real and so do the fairy's wings. Elizabeth A. M. Burns replies: "Pencil:2 Computer:0. Seems the pencil cat has better fur in general... yeah, I reckon the pencil wings look better too, I spent some time adding veins... Thanks for commenting!"
25 Aug 2005	Niklas Löfgren	Loading... The pencil version has more feeling. Also the cat looks more realistic. Good job Elizabeth A. M. Burns replies: "One for pencil then. I thought the computer cat looked more realistic... ah well. Thanks for commenting!"
26 Aug 2005	Anonymous	Loading... Pencil version Elizabeth A. M. Burns replies: "Pencil:4 Computer:0. Perhaps I should reload it as the pencil version. Thanks for commenting!"
26 Aug 2005	Christine the Rabbit	Loading... The computer version looks like it belongs in a children's book (which is style, so not an insult!) while the pencil version has a little more warmth to it. I personally like the pencil version best. Elizabeth A. M. Burns replies: "Yet another person pencil! I'm getting the impression people prefer it. Will have to look into this 'warmth' you see. Thanks for commenting!"
27 Aug 2005	Aurelia Darkside	Loading... I'd have to say pencil for the fairy...but I kind of like the look of the computer colored cat, the eye of that cat just looks more realistic to me in that picture...maybe you can incorporate both styles next time...great job on both pictures though Elizabeth A. M. Burns replies: "Both styles, hmmm... I have no idea how to do that. I thought the computer cat looked better to. So I guess this is a 50/50 answer. Pencil:4 1/2 Computer:1/2. Thanks for commenting!"
