Description Please be informed, I am turning off comments here solely because I'm moving accounts, and this is one of my most commented on (continues to be) pieces. Thank you for all your comments! But I won't be keeping up on them anymore here If you want to continue to follow my work and/or fave/comment on it please go here: *doomburg

Thanks!<3




Once again I am baffled by the category system...

Pencil, white charcoal and digital XD


ANYWHO!
This is my entry to *Attache 's I Spy Vanessa Lake art contest which you can read about here: [link]

Model being the lovely *VanessaLake

I had SOOOO MUCH fun with this x_x somuch. I have been wanting to design some kind of dryad/tree nymph, and her colors worked so perfectly for it, I had to!
I wanted to include her tattoos but they looked so odd in the context of this illustration ;-; Hopefully it's not too big a deal...

So yea... next comic page delayed for this!
CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR ME PLEASE IVE NEVER WON A CONTEST BEFORE XD nojoke. I always lose. LOL.

HOLY SNAP SIZZLE! O.O
I love how her face is lit up in this. :]
It kind of contrasts the different styles used in this and allows you to take in every detail of it.
I also love how it's so life like, but not at the same time... If that makes sense?
Anyways, GOOD LUCK!
