Description I started this just before Christmas, at home, but after a while I forgot about it and when I for once did remember it, I couldn't really get it right. Now it's finished, and while several details were lost in sizing it down (like the glittery stuff around the butterfly - how could I know that it wouldn't look the same as when I worked on it, zoomed out to the same size? Same mistake again.) Some mistakes on the butterfly too.

Who this is? Who knows? Is it a goddess? A sorceress? Are they really separate?

Put this in fantasy partially because she has elf-eyes, partially because... well, butterflies in winter doesn't exist, do they?

Edit: Updated the image to the sharpened image, because I'd forgotten about that when uploading and had uploaded the slightly blurry one instead (it tends to do that when I re-size) Is this better or worse?

Beautiful eyes The butterfly is lovely too...
The only thing I would say, is the lines aren't quite definite. And her skin almost looks flappy on her hands? I don't know if I'm describing it properly, as I have no idea about digital art but, good work

Yes, I can see what you mean about the hands. I wasn't sure how to do them, so I avoided doing the details. It has bugged me for a while, though...
I'm glad you like it

Very powerful gesture with her holding the butterfly out to the viewer. Makes it very mystic and giving, in a way. Nice job!

beautiful! I love the dark blue colour and contrasted with the beige colour of the skin makes it all the more beautiful!

Thanks

I'm glad you like it. Personally I think it's one of my first portraits that's more than just a face, in a way. Or maybe it's just me. I don't know.

Very pretty. Great color scheme. And her eyes are beautiful. The only bad thing about this picture is her nose is a little crooked.

Ciuva In reply to Zaiye [2006-02-06 14:03:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you Yes, I agree about the nose, I messed it up when applying the lighter parts to it, I think.

Well, one can only hope I'm very glad you like it. I had almost given it up when I got inspired by the snowfall last night and started to work on it again...

Thanks a lot for the fav too
