Description
Done for ImagineFX Hand Painting workshop. You can find it in Issue 16 (I also made the cover for that one)
My goal was to create a bold mood without adding too much unnecessary detail.
Painted in Photoshop with some help from Painter. Refs for the pendant and marble (you can see it as a custom brush used for the face marks); light and anatomy studies for the character.
Linen done with a custom made brush consisting of a few lines.

This is an insane amount of detail and care, my friend. The fraying of the hood, down to the glowing necklace -- beautiful.

I couldn't believe this wasn't a photo when I first saw it. I actually had to look at it for five minutes straight before saying, "Holy crap! It's not a photo!"

I love how you paint hands, they're so realistic! the fact that they're always a bit chubby makes me wonder...are those your hands?

I love the shading and the atmosphere. Her freckles and the subtle blue around her eyes are gorgeous.

I love the glow and the feeling that is there.. drawing your attention not really to her face but rather to her center. It's interesting how you highlighted the face. I find that you almost want to lift the hood to see a full view of those eyes.
Great piece.
