Description Copyright © L. J. Carter, 2011

“In the peaks of Bashan you must seek
The Eye of Io, now lost in sleep
From its slumber you then must wake
From Fire and Ice the knowledge take
To open the Eye is your goal
For the Eye is the window of the soul.”
From the YA fantasy fiction novel, Kingdom of Lost Children: The Book of Ren. [link]

Hand sketched scene painted in Photoshop and Coral Painter.
Personal photos used to create brushes for hieroglyphs and magical smoke.

So many details, I'm not sure how you managed to fit it all! The lighting helps bring you back to the focus point which shows all the emotion on her face...I love it! My only critique would be her hair. I love all the strands and how it flows so naturally but it looks the same shade. You don't really see the light on her hair but you see so much of it on her face.
