An art gift for

I've draw that with follow her tutorial. At first I made the base color with mouse and take a lot of time. But when I got a tablet, things were become easier. I can shade and shadow the scene faster and able to create the texture.

Maybe it still got some problems when I following her art style. Can you find them out?

Also, it is a gift for her 300000 pageviews's celebration. I hope she don't mind of my very first try.

Photoshop CS4 isn't have a big difference between her CS2 in drawing method, just it support GPU acceleration and I don't have to wait it finish the post effect too long. Anyway, the native artwork's size is 1.75 GB, and it have 9783 x 13291 resolutions, aka 1200 dpi.

One more thing, when I gave it a look to my friend from Hong Kong, he said she looks like some kind of "wood elf", what do you think?

Total time to take:
2 hours for sketch
3 hours for lines fix
10 hours for coloring
6 hours for shading
2 hours for texture making
1 hours for post effect
...and done
