Description Hooray, I finished my first digital painting! Not bad for an elderly Wacom tablet --not very pressure-sensitive --and Photoshop 5.5. This is Iphis, knight in shining armor on a white horse, who is also a lesbian. And a disciple of Isis.

Worked directly over my pencils and left some of the rough pencil texture underneath.

The border I designed after an illuminated manuscript, a while back.

Awesome drawing, I envy your ability. I draw landscapes well, but I'm pretty terrible at drawing people, however apparently you're great at it! ^_^ The picture sort of reminds me of a charcter in one of the series by Tamora Pierce. Very nice work.

Beautiful. There's something so classic about her appearance.

Also, your colouring technique's great. The bit on her upper arm and her surcoat are particularly nice.

I never really know where I'm going when I color; I just futz with it till it looks finished! Which makes me overly slow...

Great choise of subject! And the artwork is wonderful too, especially the horsey looks very horse-like - something I rarely manage to do! The pose, the details, the lineart and the colours.. all looks really good, keep it up! Her face is beautiful.

As always, you have a way with words, m'boy; seriously, thanks a lot. I worked on it the past four days, just off and on... feels like longer for some reason... Maybe because we're supposedly on spring break... but all I'm doing is still working all day every day on my projects! $*#@!!!

kidoho In reply to emstone [2006-03-22 20:07:25 +0000 UTC]

I know that feeling.

Schools out. You're an art nerd. You don't know what to do with yourself. Thusly, you continue working.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

pepperw In reply to ??? [2006-03-22 14:36:08 +0000 UTC]

This is nice. I like the angle of the pose. It is all very well rendered. The thick black outline surprisingly works well in this, giving it a real medieval feel. The expression and face is good too.
I did a digital painting of a similar female knight ('The Knight is Young' [link] ), but I like yours better.

emstone In reply to pepperw [2006-03-22 19:37:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! With the outline I was thinking Alphonse Mucha, or stained glass; I'm glad it was effective. Your stuff is very pretty and painstaking! I used reference as a jumping-off point when I did the original pencil sketch for this painting (myself as a child riding bareback on my old swaybacked pony, in this case ).

YAAAAAY, it is AWESOME. god, this is meant to be your FIRST digital painting? Let me hate you ~instant fav, as I already expected~ ...by the way, everything on it looks wondeerful, but the best thing about it is the way you did the horse. ....man, this lady is too cool, seriously..
