Tag As FavoriteComment		This elven maiden's name, as well as the season of her surroundings, is Autumn. Just felt like doing a random portrait to cheer me up a bit after losing some of my other artwork on a corrupted hard drive.

Edit: 7/29/04 - uploaded a new version after having fixed her hair, which had always bothered me as being not quite right (additionally, I framed her better on the page - the top of her head was cut off before) Enjoy! :)

Wow! beautiful! Her eyes remind me a little of Buffy the vampire Slayer, but this girl is cuter. Mostly because she is an elf!
Lovely artwork. I wish I could do realistic pictures like these. And the reflection is a mastertouch!

She is very beautiful!

Oh wow! That's awesome. I -love- her eyes. The only thing I can see with it that might be "wrong" is that the gem on her crown doesn't seem to be casting a shadow. But, I could be wrong there.

Ah...her hair. Love her hair. -Adore- her hair. And the background? So much detail!

Good job all around!

She looks very much like how I think Lavilia (my character) looks like, only her hair is more red. I love this, not just because she reminds me of her. But it just looks amazing!
Love Rian

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a photograph...on the full version you can tell it's computer painted but still...wow! you have a perfect handle on colors, the skin and hair tones look so real....let me know if you ever do a tutorial on eyes, they're my favorite part of this whole piece 19)

She's awesome! I love the way you did her eyes and the diamond on her head-piece. Her hair is really awesome too. It's so detailed. I wish that I could draw like that, but I am much better at writing then at drawing.
