A kiriban picture made for a girl who hit a lucky number on one of my other galleries.
The hair took way too much time for me to even want to be reminded of it. ^_~

Wow i'm the first person to comment.
I really really like this picture its definitely 1 of your best. I'm a drawer but i can never draw this good.
Give me some pointers on how to improve my drawings please.
Its got to be said again your picture is so cool

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Thanks a lot. my best advice to you would be to practice. nothing "magical" about drawing. Practically everybody can learn it if they practice. Some will find it easier to learn than others, but really. That whole "godgiven talent-thing" is a myth."

Wow i really appreciate you giving me advice
i recently became an elfwood artist but i'm having trouble uploading my work can you give me more advice about this and also how do you use photoshop

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Ehhh... I can't really say anything about uploading work other than "read the rules and the FAQ". Since you're a member, I'm pretty sure you allready know the rules. 12 Back when I joined there was no test at all. Pretty funny to think about today. 12
Anyway, I learned most of my basic Photoshopskills from this tutorial: http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/tutorial.html - It's pretty outdated today, but it should be possible to find the same functions in never versions of Photoshop as well. "

Why is no1 else commenying on this fantstic piece of work

p.s. im your biggest fan

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Well, I don't get so many visitors, and my regular commentators usually come when i send out a mail about new artwork. Which I forgot when uploading this one. It's been a long time from I uploaded this one to the previous update, so I don't get "daily visits" from the people who have me as an favourite. 12
Also, I have a very large gallery. New visitors got a lot to chose from when leaving a comment. + most of my friends are on other online galleries as well, and have allready seen this piece at the time it reaches my Elfwood gallery."

I LOVE everything about her. Especially (i'm really fond of that word, lol) the dress, it's the prettiest green shade i've ever seen, and it's my new favorite color! the two trees in the background are pretty sweet, and i like the horns(?) on her head, they like symbolise the fact that a forest spirit also is connected to the animals IN the trees....

and the hair is...wow........quite frankly i think i'd die before i finsihed a project as detailed as that.......the person who got this better realize just how lucky they are or i am going to yell at them....

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Thanks a lot. There's a lot of mythological forrest "gods" with horns like this, so I just continued on that tradition. 12 And... It did take quite some time to finish this, yeah.."

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Cool. 2 I'll do my best. 12"
