Somebody emailed me about doing a faerie tattoo...then apparently changed their mind...don't you hate it when that happens? So she turned into this instead: Iriel, cliche moon faerie extraordinaire.

Since the human figure isn't exactly my specialty, I really struggled to get her pose to look halfway descent (thanks so much for your input, Cathy!); I'd welcome any constructive criticism regarding that or anything else.

Pencil sketch, colored in Photoshop w/Wacom.

(1/12/05 update:) Gah! Mod's Choice! Thanks so much to the Mod who picked it; I am honored! Thanks so much to everybody who's stopped by and commented; I can't respond to everybody's comments but I'll try to respond to questions/constructive criticims about the pic. And I will try to swing by all the commenters' gallerys/library pages.

Also, I forgot to thank my sister-in-law Stacey, who was gracious enough to pose for me so I had a model to work from! Thanks Stacey!

This is great, you've really captured the pose, it looks perfectly proportioned to me, i love the way her wings glow in the moonlight. Congrat's on Mods Choice.

Since I actually have this work of art framed on my wall, I'd better say something nice, hmmm? Misti, you are talented like no other---this one tops my list of favorites!
