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.

This is a wonderful piece; to me, it looks like it has a touch of art nouveau and is wonderfully designed. I love how her hair and eyes stand out; it's like she's watching you from the safety of her tree, curious to see if you'll come closer.
Good luck with your contest

I typically go with whatever took the most time. Like if the sketch took a hour or so and the digital coloring took 3, then I'd go with 'digital'. Or if the sketch was much harder than the coloring, like a super detailed sketch you just wanted to add a spot of color to, then traditional. I think you sorted yours right.

She is a beautiful woman, and what you did with her is really great job. She fits the image of a nymph ^^
Ans I'll try not to forget to keep my fingers crossed
