My favorite Elf

[baquitania]

This is my old style... pencils first, then permanent marker, than pain staking layers of watercolor, all on special all purpose pen paper by Borden & Riley... Anyway this is my oldest elf (she's 846) and the dress was designed by me as well... Her name is Gwynnithril (named before Gwynneth Paltrow, so not how I derived the name) pieced together from the glossary section at the back of Tolkein's Simarillion, a great source for names...

Here's a close up, had to reduce the file massively, as it was over 400K... :D, but the original is only 9 x 12...

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! My jaw almost hit the floor when this pic came up :) That's a long process for rendering this drawing. Do you still do some the same way? GREAT name and GREAT dress design!!

:clap: :cat: :clap:

Actually no Artdude, not since finding the joys of photoshop... and I'm going for a different style now, more digital... These take a while... and there's no redo button let me tell ya... I have 3 others though I will post in few days, or maybe hours lol... thanks for the capitals :D

The colours are magnificent! And although I like what you've been working on digitally, I would love to see more pieces like this!

Heehee. Sorry about that. I responded to the right post but wrong picture....

This picture is excellent. I would love to see mor of your handpainted pieces. I like the way the layers of colour add texture to the clothing and walls.
