Description Finished! Took a long time, but worth the results. Done with prismacolor pencils and graphite

Original line art (which is my own, but if someone else wants to color it, you can XD) is here: [link]

Anyone who is familiar with the original picture will see that the color scheme of the background is cooler; that is intentional, I added grey to basically all of it so Arwen would especially stand out.

Hardest part of the whole picture? The frakking floor, at least drawing it. Coloring wise, probably the face, to get all those tones. The bg was not bad at all, surprisingly.

Comments, critique, etc is appreciated.

nice work on the clothes the perspective of the floor is a bit off, but the pattern looks really difficult, too..

Oh, yea, I know >_> That floor will haunt me to the end of my days Most of my time working on this pic was because of that damned floor. And it got better, but not right XD

Very beautiful piece. I think you managed to capture all of the various tones. Arwen, the background, the floor... all of it is very well done and very detailed.
