This picture is greatly inspired by Tolkiens Galadriel. But I also wanted to get a an older and more traditional picture of elves across ... the elves that travelers imagined they saw while riding through the evening mists of meadows and swamps ... elves whose paths are dangerous to follow for all but the lightfooted.

Wowsers! If she had dark hair, she would make a good Luthien too...But thats just my crazy idea...

Galadriel looks herself to be very "lightfooted" you came across well with that effect in this picture, it does look like she's tiptoeing or floating. This has a nice mysterious feel to it. Nice reflections of the trees in the water.

How enchanting! What a great idea, it's so incredibly romantic. Your woods are done really well, too.

i love how u use the colours and use strong outlines, like in art nouveau. it really gives it a mysterious feeling...beautiful.. (a better Galadriel than in the movie)U should still check out the proportions a bit more closely, u often make the legs too short, here also her arms are too long .
