I have decided to do a birthstones series, and as this is october I thought Opal would be most appropriate to start with.  Hope you all like her :)

Special thanks to the lovely model fae-stock.

photoshop CS  |  12x18" 300dpi

YAY! That’s my birthstone - except, she doesn’t look an awful lot like me...too pretty, i’m strawberry blonde....and not as perfectly-complexioned as her! 1...oh, yeah i don’t have wings either...*darn*

It looks REALLY realistic. I love how she seems to be looking down into another world.

Yup, my birthstone is opal, and I love your presentation of this painting.

Like so many have said, my birthstone, and absolutely beautiful! So much better then Rose Zircon or Pink Tourmaline (too much pink) but I’m sure if you drew it, I’d make an exception.
