Description This painting was more or less a test, so I decided to keep it simple. I like simple composition anyway
I don’t have a story behind this piece, other than it has got a more modern fantasy theme than normal from me. Perhaps this shows a cheerleader doing her side-job?

Painted during a couple of evenings in Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom tablet. Reference for the pose.

The pose is nothing w/o your amazing colors, you really did a great job on painting. So full of life.. soft and sweet. I especially like the title and #5 on her shorts, that's cute. Makes me think, what is cloud 5? Where is cloud 5? Can I find a hot girl like this in cloud 5? will I ever get to cloud 5?

all of the details, ambience, the sense of being aloft, the light, the decions made as to where the shadow should be softer or brought more into focus.. its all so well observed and pulled together excellently. I really admire this it's so inspiring

This is nice, not a favourite from yours but it's nice. The colour scheme fits perfect with the composition and the lighting effects are awesome. I would like more to see the character with other clothing or even naked (hhahahaha) but it's ok
See you then

Henning,
Fascinating (well, lovely and all that, too). The numeral 5 and the pleated skirt are such a contrast with the staff and other fantasy garb. It make it all seem so ordinary.
I can picture her sitting at the cafe, feet up, chatting with her girlfirends.
"So, Marybeth, what do you do for a living?"
"Oh, I just hover around clouds in my next-to-nothings and cast spells. How 'bout you?"
