Hi Everyone! ^^
Wow, it has been a long time since I've posted anything here.
I've had this one finished for awhile now and I figured it was about time I get it up. I previously posed a head close up shot on my facebook page (link below) promising that I'd have this up in a week or two... and that was a long time ago. *sigh* But better late then never as they say.

I'm quite happy with this image. I spent a great amount of time working on the small details (the braids and outfit especially) and I was quite happy to finally finish it. I should also point out that this version I'm uploading here is slightly different then the finished commission, as sophiaexile wanted him to have a wide scoop necked collar (like some of Arwens dress from LOTR). I liked how it looked but I admit I liked this V-neck style a bit better, so that's the version I'm uploading here.

Painted completely in photoshop.
Several reference images used.
No Critique desired.

Gorgeous work as always! I think this might be my favorite of your most recent works! I really love all the details you put into the braids, his hair is so cool-looking. I'm totally enjoying the colors of this too, the turquoises and blues in the effects, clothing, and lighting!

Okay, as the author of the character, you just made me squeal with happiness. OMG, he is getting framed! Not trying to take any of keerleah's credit. I am so grateful for her work, just OMG! He is going on someone's wall! *author fangirling over own character finished*

Haha, I totally get how you feel! But really, she did such an excellent job on this I feel like I can't just leave it in a plastic envelope. Awesome character by the way

This is stunning. I love the colors and her stance. I just wish you had made her clothes a little more feminine. The name is beautiful but she's not very seductive. Great work none the lesss

keelerleah In reply to CodyWolf [2013-10-19 02:29:23 +0000 UTC]

The clothes were done like this because it's a man actually. A very pretty man dressed up in long wizards robes. I'm glad you like the colors though.

Your attention to detail always blows me away. I absolutely love his hair.

But, man, if he didn't do it by magic, or have someone else do it for him, his arms must have been burning something fierce when he finished fixing it.

He does it psychically, otherwise it would be very painful!

I choose the name because I love it's definition. Yes, I got the name from Inuyasha, but I couldn't get over the idea of the abyss, and a bunch of metaphors in my head. Still, I will give Inuyasha where credit is due.

OMG those braids. O_O How many hours did that take, I wonder...?

 

Awesome as always. Love the background and the light coming in from above, made him look sort of heavenly. Until, of course, I read the description and then was all, "OMG!! DECIEVER!" And I love the character's description. Will most certainly be buying this novel when it comes out.

It is not coming out any time soon. He is causing trouble... I am so thankful that keelerleah managed to capture his character so well! I also am thrilled you got the deceiver part!

twipplestoast In reply to sophiaexile [2013-10-17 01:33:16 +0000 UTC]

By he do you mean the character? And if so how?

 

Either way I'll be looking out for it.  I'm working on a book of my own, and even though it's done I still have a lot of rewriting and editing ahead of me, so I know of the masive work load. Good luck with your book!

sophiaexile In reply to twipplestoast [2013-10-18 18:16:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the character. His very nature is to be rebellious, and he is being stubborn in making an appearance on paper.
