Tag As FavoriteComment		Mesteno again, my Sadist. A real autumn child - hence the whole colour scheme. Initially it was just a study on the colours in his hair, but it grew and became a proper scene. Pretty bold light and shadow play on his face, and packed with colour in general - I was in a bright mood! I'm imagining it as an Indian autumn, hence the lightish sky and the warmer tones. [And yes, he is a man. Why does he look so androgynous? He's a castrato.] Drawn entirely in PSP 7.0 with a wacom tablet.

This is so wonderful. I love how the light hits her face, and how the picture flows

Good light and shadows contrast. Colors look a bit sharp though. Try to mess with the intensity a bit and or the "Levels and or Curves" in your PSP file. A little bit goes a long way with photoshop.
Good image overall. One of my favorites of yours.

:-) Elizabeth Holgate replies: "Hey there Alton - thanks for the comment and the advice, it's not something I'd thought of experimenting with before you mentioned it, I'll certainly give it a try!"

I love the colors.

And I also love the fact you made a good solid medical explanation for his intense bishiness. I wish the stinking fangirls would catch on. 12

Upset now you've said he's a castrato.
