"Elven Princess" by Heather Alycia LaPeer

SF&F Picture 6 out of 28 by Heather Alycia LaPeer


	This is a piece I did for fun as a sort of counter to the older and poorly scanned elven male. I like her face, working on the hair I think.

23 Sep 2008	Lena V. Bazhenova	Loading... I think you’ve done a nice job here! But your facial proportions are a bit off. The lips are too full and are at an angle that doesn’t seem to fit the profile. The shape of the eye is also a little strange. Also, when viewed in profile, the pupil of the eye will appear more vertical rather than round. And lastly, the ear isn’t position quite right. It should start at eye level, but here it starts at the cheekbone. I hope you don’t mind the critique. Keep on practicing! Heather Alycia LaPeer replies: "Thank you so much for your tips! The lips were intentional, I don’t really see the angle problem, but the fullness was desired. Thanks so much for your tips on the eye! The pupil idea is excellent, I’ll remember that. I tried to make the eye shape unique and mildly ethereal, but now I find it a little off also. I wonder about the ear though. clearly it is taller than the average ear, but most of my models and friends ears start at the cheekbone level, is this an artistic technique? I wonder if you could clarify, which would be great. Thanks so much for all the useful advice!"
