"Skin Deep Beauty (Colored) 2" by Nathan Alexander Tumulty

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better...=*-*=...

Wow this is awesome but i must say i like the first one better

You know, I think I agree. I think your pencilwork is absolutely awesome - and it's hard to color pieces that have been drawn in pencil. I have yet to see someone manage to do it perfectly yet, unless they just start over and use the original as a reference only. I like the realism that you went for in this one a bit better than the other one - although I admit that I liked the skin highlights in the other one a bit more. The wall in this one is much better with the desaturated colors, I think, and that also makes the mirror stand out quite a bit more, too! This is still a damn fine coloring job, don't get me wrong. It's just hard to top your pencilwork. (It's a compliment, really)

Is she queen Akasha in bed w/ angel wingz?

You are definately getting the hang of Photoshop. Do you know about using a multiply layer to lay in shadows. It helps give depth. If I can give you any pointers or suggestions when you run into problems, I would be happy to. I am in the process of really getting into the program myself. I am unemployed right now and spending many hours a day discovering new tricks! My first elfwood post is still pending... but you can see examples of my work at www.cafepress.com/familypendragon

Great work!!!

Love her hair and peircing green eyes. Her wings are really nice too. Nice concept.

I love this picture.I think this one is definently the best version of it too, except I like the blood red sheets in the other colored version better.

I do love it very much though.

*Jumps up and down with excitement (okay, I'm still laying down, and typing, but my soul is jumping)* THIS is SO close to how I visualized it the first time I saw it in your gallery (I previously commented as Thanna, which is my real name)! Absolutely my favorite version!
Those green eyes--I'd be vain too.
The lack of color except for the angel and her mirror emphasize her sense of self-importance so subtly it makes me tingle! Give me the emails of the moderaters--I will personally protest the travesty of justice by denying you your just award!!!
And HOW could anyone tire of this picture?

I think this version looks better than the first great job
