Description // PLEASE FULL VIEW //

Caer is a fairie who fell in love with a human by watching him through a mirror. She made a deal with a Queen so that she would be able to meet with him every night in his dreams, in which he would never remember her outside of and would only last for a hundred days.

The mirror was all that stood between her and the one she loved so I wanted to portray her longing for him.
___________________

Done for a contest by ~AdmirateursDeLuciole . I've always admired Luciole's style and her characters/dolls. We had to choose a character, a theme out of the list, and a misc. aspect out of a list. I think mine ended up applying to more than one, but basically... I chose Caer as the character, beauty and elegence for the theme (tranquility or love could also work), and Ornate Design for the miscellaneous aspect.

Hopefully I've done justice to the character. She's from Luciole's 9 pg comic, Reflections. The story is beautiful and the illustrations so detailed and elegant. You can read it at Luciole's gallery [link]

~ On another note.... this is 95% acrylic painting, fine tuning, touch-ups, and details done digitally. The canvas drove me nuts! It was my first try at canvas and was way to rough for the details I usually like to do, thus my frustration. You can see the texture up close here [link] blah

Original Sketch [link]

Original Painting (untampered) [link]
- If you want to compare what I added digitally. Mostly fixing her face, hair, doing most of the swan, touching things up here and therem, and adding small details.

Well definitely not an impression I'm happy happy about XD But you are the second person in one week to mention it though it's been up for so long. Maybe I just suck at pillars.

wow that's beautiful!! I love the softness of the blending, especially for her dress (and how it melts into the floor)

nice colours and lighting too ^^

how big is this painting?

StarMasayume In reply to MapleRose [2007-04-20 00:16:47 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I appreciate it. The painting should be 12x16 I believe.

Oh how gorgeous! i dont think i have a chance in the contest now
I love the canvas texture! it gives your painting a very nice feeling; the CG added is wonderfully done! it doesnt swear at all with the traditionnally made painting, and fits quite well! If it wasnt for the before pic, i dont think i would be able to tell which part was CG or not.. or that there even was a CG to begin with ^.^
I think you've captured Caer quite well! its so fitting to the theme!
I absolutely love it ^.^

StarMasayume In reply to Silveril [2007-03-29 23:35:45 +0000 UTC]

Oh well, lots of luck to us both! I saw a couple other good entries floating around.

Thank you for your kind comments. And yeah, I was a bit worried about doing digital over the painting and am glad they complimented each other well enough.

StarMasayume In reply to luciole [2007-03-22 17:02:49 +0000 UTC]

For you? SH&H + any token amount. It'd probably get stored in my closet or something anyway. XD Plus the painting doesn't feel finished to me since I did the rest digitally. If you really want it, I could add some touch-ups to the original. It's 12x16 and done on this premium artist canvas panel I bought.

Sweet Jesus, I'm seriously going to lose against you! T_T This is an amazing painting! Such detailed work with Caer, and such a lovely background that ties the whole piece together! Awesome colors! The piece in general fits the story quite nicely. Great work!

Thanks, veggies!
I was really at a loss for the colors I wanted at first, but I'm really happy with how they came out. It never felt like a lot of detail, but then again, I was working on it pretty large. ^^
