Description 7 Oct. 2009 - UPDATED Thanks to everyone who commented.

------------------

I wanted to draw Elwen Mora because I’ve love *VyrL 's depictions of her. Elwen is an Efraet (immortal human, sorceress) sensual and strong, a little crazy and mysterious-looking, but also soft and vulnerable at times. From what I've gathered, this character has loved and lost a lot in her life, hence the nostalgic, longing look she sports above.

Pencil shaded and painted over in Photoshop, trying to keep some of the texture.

Entry to *VyrL 's Arcea Universe Contest (2009)

this is s beautiful !
You did a really good job with the folds they are so realistic
the hair is wonderful, i love how it swirls, i think it gives a "fantasy touch" to the drawing

I have to say that my favourite aspects of this image are the detailed folds in the sheets, I just don't have the patience for such intricate details which I realize is part of my downfall lol, and I also love the hair. It flows so freely.

Such a lovely piece ^.^

Thank you very much for your comment! It did take a long time to get those folds shaded. But I did it using pencils and that is very relaxing to me. I'm very glad you like them.

lol one thing you'll notice looking thru my gallery is that shading is not my fortΓ© XD I can never get it to look good.

Wow! Some of the brush strokes look like they were actually made with pencils! I'm glad that GimmeFeedback helped you improve this.

gppr In reply to wizfrikiman [2010-04-17 20:36:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Yes Gimmefeedback is a fantastic group.
I must say, it is pencil underneath, so perhaps it is just showing though the colour layer.

i think the underlying pencil toning was a good choice, gives it a nice warm feeling but you can still see the longing in her face, very nice job!
