Description Way back when, caught my 20K kiriban. So finally, here's her prize: a picture of her character Sif. I really had fun doing this one, and it was so neat to experiment with a color of light and shadow that's not yellow and purple respectively. Thanks so much, Sion, for all your patience in waiting for this! I hope you like her!

Pen and PS. Sif © *sionra . Textures by `Princess-of-Shadows and *gild-a-stock , brushes by ~redheadstock , ~green-eyed-butterfly , and *sionra .

I actually saw some sleeves like those in a fashion shop - I bet they're a real pain to handle! She looks all magical and colourful.

OMG, no way. What a pain in the ass... I can't imagine wearing sleeves like that in earnest. I'm glad you like the colors... purple is one I don't use too often as a main color (it's more of a shadow color for me), but I think it worked out. :3

Thank you! I'm glad you think so. I was totally inspired by the dress *Stregatto10 gave this character when she drew her.

Ah, thanks so much! I was looking at *Stregatto10 's outfit she put on Sif for inspiration, it was all sleek and sexy. :3

Sometimes, its amazing how far one feels like they get behind on things.

The least we can do is catch up on it all, no?

YES, I absolutely understand. -__- Getting these back kiribans and commissions done is very slowly taking a load off my mind.

I love how sexy and mature she looks! And her corset's just gorgeous! *¬* And the blue highlights worked out great - one of the hardest things for me is trying out "bolder" or more dramatic lighting and colour schemes.

temiel In reply to solfieri [2010-03-11 04:21:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm glad you like the lighting, it was a little tricky... but really, that's just because I never do lighting like that.

I really like the gears on her face(if thats what they are) And the bordering for this picture...I've never seen that before. Its very nice.

temiel In reply to TheDevilsBlush [2010-03-10 12:56:02 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! That is what it is, I think... I ended up using a brush *sionra made, since the whole thing is UNGODLY complicated. XD The border is done with the help of a great set of brushes styled after Victorian corners by ~green-eyed-butterfly .

Oh absolutely, I'd love it if you did! Depending on how much I can wrap up before then, I might offer another one for 40K. I'm really glad you like this... *sionra 's been so good to me since we got acquainted way back then, suggesting my DD and everything, so I really wanted to make it nice for her.

Oh... stacks are finally optional

She looks really pretty I love her pose and the purple colours I think purple is a very neglected colour ... the sparkling spirit there is pretty, too

Great job, as always

OMG I KNOW I WAS SO PSYCHED TO FIND OUT

And thank you so much! Yeah, purple is a very sadly neglected color, I try to use it when I can. It's definitely Sif's color of choice, so it was a good excuse.

Chenria In reply to temiel [2010-03-10 13:07:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah me too!! First I was OMG stacks in comments and then I saw I can switch it off XDD

And we all should use purple more often :3 your use of it in this picture is awesome and really suits the character

Oh wow, this one is really cool!
I love her pose and the lighting

I like the way you did her knees, they look so real and she overall looks really adult and that suits Sif sooo well.
Great job hun!

temiel In reply to Isuna [2010-03-10 12:27:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I was really trying to do something different with the lighting, so I'm glad you like it. The knees were fun... the lower portion of legs have always been a bit of a weak point for me, so I'm trying to slowly get better at them. I was looking at *Stregatto10 's version of Sif for outfit inspiration, since like you said, I think an "adult" look fits her.

Isuna In reply to temiel [2010-03-10 14:56:19 +0000 UTC]

I really think you did a great job there. And what weak point do you mean? I don't see anything that would look weak to me. ^^

temiel In reply to Isuna [2010-03-10 15:03:58 +0000 UTC]

Aw, you're so kind. I mean that I'm generally not comfortable drawing legs and feet, they often seem to come out looking like giant clodhoppers. But I'm slowly improving!

Isuna In reply to temiel [2010-03-10 15:11:30 +0000 UTC]

Well, I'm just struggling myself at the moment, because I really have to work hard on a sketch with a very difficult position for me.
But now... after 2 hours of not seeing it, i figured out the mistake and corrected it XD

Giving it a little time and taking a break is sometimes the best way to catch mistakes.

rooster82 [2010-03-10 07:35:50 +0000 UTC]

I love the colors! I'm liking the reflected light as it makes her all the more magical. You could push the lighting a little more next time, I dare ya.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

temiel In reply to rooster82 [2010-03-10 12:28:52 +0000 UTC]

Ah, thanks! And you're right, I probably could. Lighting is something I'm totally the opposite of confident about, so I never want to push it hard-- it's just so easy to screw up! I'm slowly trying to get more bold with it, though... maybe next time I'll experiment on a piece that isn't intended for somebody else so I can screw up as much as I need to.

rooster82 In reply to temiel [2010-03-10 16:27:05 +0000 UTC]

Yea, I know what you mean. There's that fear of making the piece look like a tangled mess of weird colors.
