SciFi and Fantasy Art Anonymous Elven girl by Lauren Whitney Stafford

I was trying for a hazy, impressionistic look with this painting of a youngish Elven girl. There was more to the picture, but I wound up hating the rest of it---backgrounds are not my forte---so I'm just putting up the part of it that I'm somewhat satisfied with. This was a small and very rough pencil sketch that I scanned in, then painted using Painter Classic and my trusty Wacom tablet (how I love that thing!).

19 Jan 2001	Kelsi Dick	Loading... That's really beautiful. The shape of the face and neck make me think Italian Renaissance art, but the lighting is more contemporary....i'd like to print this one and hang it next to my computer.
2 Feb 2001	Veronika Kronnäs	Loading... It's lovely! I thought it was some kind of pastels until I read it was computer painted, so I think you succeeded with the impressionistic look. One thing though; I think her skin is a bit too pink and monocromatic. There should be more yellow in it, I think and it should me more different colours for different parts of the face. More red on the cheeks and the lips than on the forehead eg. It makes the picture look not quite finished.
3 Feb 2001	Siobhán A. Doyle	Loading... I like the effect, i have to look into that programme you used. The hair is beautiful, but one thing i'd change in the face is the nose. I think it protrudes too high, their should be a ridge from her brow. I do't think you should change the colout at all, if you were trying a hazy effect, you got it, adding yellow and reds would chage the lighting and take from the atmosphere.
17 Jun 2001	Lizyrd <lizyrd00@yah...com>	Loading... You have a Wacom tablet too? Argh, I have one and I can't use it. Email me at lizyrd00@yahoo.com if you have any pointers. Please. This is nice, too, btw.
