This girl seems to be young and innocent. In reality she is an evil sorceress that tries to lure people with her looks. Her power lies in her eyes, and later in her life she gets them stolen, and they are hidden as ambers to keep her from ever getting her powers back.

I have painted this girl several times before, but this is the first time I am really happy with it.

SWEET~!

Beautiful eyes, they look so very real. And hair is NOT easy to
do. You have done a wonderful job, you should be PROUD!

:-) Elin Josefsson replies: "Well, if you say so I will be proud!"

Yeah, very beautiful work Elin! I think I like her eyes the most. Plus the amber above her eyes and the button, together they form a cross... It’s all rather symmetrical too. I’m guessing the medium is digital?
The appearance of her clothes are kind of interesting, I think they have sort of an unfinished look, but the darkness entering at the corners, and then how on the right her hair sort of becomes lighter, ghost like. And also at the right, her cloth seems to take to the air as if dissolving. I don’t know if that was intentional but I kind of like that.

:-) Elin Josefsson replies: "It is indeed a digital pice, as most of my works are.

I didn’t do the things you mentioned on purpose, but ir feels good that something unintended can strengthen a picture."
