Queen for a DayQueen of the Night
This is for For the kind support for my stock, my works, all DA with such a wonderful contest... And her stock in fantastic
I just hope you are not sick anymore and my work brings some sun to your day 
Queen of the Day - Queen for a Day... When Queen for the night was a little girl with a face like.. I will kill this butterfly in the next moment.. then this one.. She is defenetly older, seen more life, witness good and bad things, but her heart - this is oriented to care and love for the world. In her heart, there is no space for hate or anger and the sun seems always shine in her face, even on the darkest nights.. But she is no queen, in matter of fact.. Just another no-one.. from nowhere.. And on the most beautiful summer day.. she went for a walk, played in forest, weaved a daisy chain in the mead... And then her path took her into the beach.. And there, on the sun warm sand she found a flute.. A magic flute.. And for her surprise the flute talk to her and told - that inside that music instrument lives a prince who have been captured by evil magician. If someone would pick up that flute and would play it for a day until the sun sets, then the prince would be free. She didn't asked what he will give for her, she was almost picking it up.."I will make you a Queen," flute promised, "just play..." And she did... On the moment her lips touched the instrument... she turned into the Queen.. Most beautiful lady ever seen.. And she played.. That beach was filled with magic, most beautiful and wonderful melodies ever heard. This was the music from sincere, kind and loving heart who didn't stand away from helping others.. But in the sunset.. something started to change... And she almost felt like.. she is going to be carried away by the cool breeze from the sea.. Like she would be the sand.. so light.. almost like not existing.. And yes.. she was turning into sand... "Thank you for freeing me... I had waited long enough to revenge for that witch who thought I betrayed her love and cursed me.. My revenge will be sweet and you're rule has ended. You were Queen for a Day and you freed me.. Know, that I am son of Darkness, brother of the Night and you just gave me a free way to this world.." And she was carried away by the wind... And that flute.. it laid in that sand.. until some wave took it with it.. and carried it away.. for the unknown journey in the endless seas of Life.
Queen for a Day.. I know.. The story is.. somehow sad but the idea of those "Queens" are to show that life is not so black-and-white. There is no pure good, no pure bad. There are things in our life that form us.. Mentors who guide us, faith that challenge us.. We can never know that what we hear is true.. We can never know that what is told to us is right.. We can never take things as granted. Everything is relative. Queen for the Night - she had never seen anything so beautiful like that butterfly.. but still.. her face expression shows evil emotions.. And Queen for a Day.. her heart was too good.. for the world like this.. She didn't asked.. she believed, never had a second thought.. Who is right? What is right? Who did more good than other? Or we all are just dirty souls - filled with black thoughts or naive hearts that never think before doing? And this series.. It is about faith too.. (that part can you figure out by yourself)
By this work.. I started to work after I finished the "Queen of the Nigh".. This means.. week ago.. I studied in the same time for my math exam.. so not much time.. And must say.. if you would see the some first versions of this work.. you would faith.. it was awful.. So glad I finally made it.. The head was the most hardest thing.. to find proper one.. But this one.. just perfect.. The reflection in her eyes, the sincere and innocent look.. Just what I needed..
So.. How many hours? Too many.. today.. at least mm.. (it's 1.15 A.M.. I came from exam.. 1.00PM.. ok.. calculate.. ok.. I eat on that time.. I.. spent an hour behind TV (I almost missed "prison Break" at least I saw final 30 minutes) and quite many hours before today.. But I think the result is worth of it Again, many painting.. I love the head but there was so much to draw.. More hair.. that wonderful "crown" (best choice for head.. really).. that ribbon.. (You don't want to see some earlier results.. when I tried to work that out..) Ok.. defenetly much, much more.. Those two works are really the ones.. I have spent most of time.. This one I like Stock:

okay.. do you have any tutorial.. because i really thinks its so hard to do, even though i also use photoshop
π: 0 β©: 1
I have two tutorials on my gallery (you can see the folder named tutorial there) Not specific tutorial for that piece but I think my style and tools I use are the same

Ive seen this on a tutorial interview that you gave. its amazing. Im trying to get the same effect. Can yuo help me ?

Im ttrying to get the same painted effect as you with the smudge tool, but its not really working. How do you do it ?
π: 0 β©: 1
mm.. the idea is.. you cannot have strong smudge tool.. I have the strenght not up to 20-30% and you have to work over the image the way the pic is going.. like if fabric is falling from up to down, you have to do the same...
I think it would be much easier to tell what to do, if I could see how your result looks
π: 0 β©: 1
ok ill try that
π: 0 β©: 1
let me see.. if I see it, maybe I can be more sure what you could do different.. you use photoshop?
π: 0 β©: 1
yes I use photoshop , here is a link to what I have done so far.--->[link] I use the smudge tool but the skin doesnt look like the skin on yours.

I uploaded there a screenshots how I made it and a video for skin .. I think you use too big brush and too strong.. Ihope those files help you a little.. if not.. I try to explain it little differently

Thank you that was helpful. But why does the skin not look like the skin on your queen ?
π: 0 β©: 1
the skin I made or the skin you made?
π: 0 β©: 1
thw skin you made i want the skin on mine to be like the skin on your "queen for a day" . How do I do that
π: 0 β©: 1
oh.. I have tried to explain.. I think you use too big brush and the strength is too much.. and you have to do it carefully, when you smooth
π: 0 β©: 1
ok i willl keep trying. Thanks for your help. Did you actually paint the queens fae or is it just the smooth tool?
π: 0 β©: 1
smooth tool... but it has to be done carefully.. you cannot go over lines.. you cannot smooth too much...

I use small soft brush. Is that what you use ?
π: 0 β©: 1
yes.. mostly.. but the new piece I started yesterday.. it did not worked.. and soft larger brush worked it out.. it depends on the quality of stock.. It was awful pixeletaed..
