Description
Okay, so this was supposed to be the middle painting of a threesome that I was going to do of Cutter, Leetah and Rayek...but Cutter's was the easiest painting I have every done, and Leetah's the hardest, and Rayek's is impossible....so there is only 2 at the moment.I keep praying that the Rayek painting will fix itself when I'm not looking, but so far he is not cooperating.
boo.
That said, I lurv me some neon green eyelashes. Every time I got frustrated with this painting I just decided to paint more eyelashes.

Aaah... it will soon be 20 years since I laid my eyes on this comic for the first time.
Thanks to it, my chances of growing up to be 'normal' were scrapped.

This is incredible and gorgeous. Everything you do is full of magic. That said...
If you don't mind a little criticism (which I assume you don't), she looks a bit like a doll. There's not much emotion in her expression. Perhaps her soul is elsewhere. Perhaps she's a little drunk on dreamberries and about to pass out. But whatever it is, it doesn't have the Fire that is Leetah there. The slightly-parted lips and half-veiled eyes, along with the angle, combine to make her look a little vapid (something I haven never thought of Leetah).
Feel free to ignore this, if you like. It in no way detracts from the beauty and skill of the piece, just the Leetah-ness.

Sorry this took me soooo long to reply. lol. But it got buried!
You know, I think what you said is valid criticism. I wasn't very comfortable doing a more realistic style when I did this, and I struggled so much with her skin-tone, that I think I forgot to pay attention to certain things in the painting like expression.
And Leetah's always been a hard one for me. I never feel like I really nail her whenever I draw her...maybe because I've never felt that drawn to her character in general. I tend to go for the really strong women like Kahvi or Nightfall, and sometimes Leetah does seem a bit vapid to me.

Well, I'm loving this one better than the Cutter one, I guess 'cause this doesn't look like a copied photo (I can't help it, I don't like that super-realism).
Her eyes are awesome, breathtaking. 
I also like the colors you used for the gold, not so yellowish like in the comics (I always thought her clothing had yellow rims, until I read in the novel it was gold).
