SciFi and Fantasy Art: Raesha at Sunset

This is a painting of a Gaia user's roleplay character done for her art contest. Raesha is a half drow, half avariel who had her wings shredded to uselessness by mauraders when she was a child. Thsi was my first attempt at a 'quality of light' image, trying to get the colors of a sunset to reflect onto the character and her surroundings. This was over 80 hours of work painting in Photoshop. 100% Photoshop image. This has been reduced severely to meet Elfwood regs. Full sized image is at: http://www.planet-krypton.com/daedalus/other/contests/raesha-1200.jpg

Absolutely stunning, but I was under the impression that when elves of differing races mate, their progeny take after one parent or the other.

:-) Bridget P. Haines replies: "Where did you hear that? Even in D&D they can have a mix of traits, and her character was based in her own world."

Personally, I see that many have been misinformed. A common misconception, but in certain cases(Such as Half-Fiend, Half-Celestial, Half-Dragon, Half-Golem, etc...) in the D&D world crossbreeds tend to yield a creature half of each their parents. Therefore, a drow/avariel would look like a drow 'colored' avariel with wings. Anyway, I absolutely adore the picture. I could never do so good, my doodles and sketches could never come close to anything you do, especially this one. It worked well for a friends character, who had a similar character(not half-drow, but looked almost identical). Keep up the wonderful work.

omg please help me! i need to know how to do metal in paintshop. i'm really bad at it, i don't know what to do. So far i've only figured out that there's a lot of contrast in light and darkness of the color u'r using because of how light reflects off metal, but... help please

Its absolutely horrible you call that a picture its disgusting light is not properly done shes, its a disgrace to people all around the world get a life!

13 Bridget P. Haines replies: "It's absolutely horrible you call that a comment. It's disgustingly worded, the spelling and grammar are not properly done, and it's a disgrace to the English language. I have a life. It's fulfilling enough that I don't have to post derrogatory comments anonymously on images to make up for personal inadequacies."
