Description
[ A scrap of a painting, it was... which had definately seen better days. One lonely scrap of a painting... the elf inside caught in a world of sunrises and butterflies. ]A RL commission for Raesha which I didn't upload right away because... I was too lazy to type up a decent description. In fact, I still am too lazy to type up a decent description. Should I take off the webbing in the image? @x@ My sister thinks it would look better that way. I personally don't like the lineart. But I'm happy with the outcome. =]
Version without the edits (to make it look old): [link] --- warning: large.

Haaah. Many years later and you're a million times better than me in every way. Take it as a compliment, ya wonderful fool!
I really love her expression. And the colours on the rocks grabbed my attention right away. They look so smooth and nice and maybe even PLEASANT to sit on.
I really love your colouring skills. I need to draw something for you to colour for me! HAHA! *________* I'd kill to have something of mine in those pretty colours (and don't worry, I'd try something original, and not fanart XD You know what I do...) But that's a pipe dream, right? XD You're too good for me now! OH NOES.
Um. I'll shut up now O__O

Waow, this pace is truly amazing. The whole piece just fits together; if something were taken out it just wouldn't look right.
I think that the lineart looks very good. I <3 your coloring.
I like the way it is with the editing.

hahaha you clueless, insanely talented people xD A drow is basically an elf, but with dark skin, light hair and red eyes. And they're evil. Kind of the opposite of normal elves. Except in this case... o___o;; in which she is nice?

Wow.. Awesome colouring and shading technique! :3 May I ask how you got the vertical lines?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
kheleksul In reply to kaykaykit [2005-07-16 10:55:59 +0000 UTC]
Easy! 8D
1. Create add layer
2. Use the line tool to make... well, white lines going down the page
3. Use black lines to make the white lines taper down to fine points, or just to make the layer look spiffier
4. Turn down the opacity of the layer
5. Repeat steps 1-4 'till you're happy with the result. X3
Thanks for the +fav and compliments!

Oh my... it's rare for you to draw elves i've noticed, but when you do they're always stunning. And a drow now?
I think the webbing adds a beautiful effect; as though we're looking through into the elf's world rather than actually standing in it. I think you should keep it.
I love her hair, you've coloured it gorgeously, and the simplicity of her white dress is striking!
Can't wait to see more elves? ^____^

Really? I guess they're not as well known as normal elves... but i really like them - they add that darkness to a supposedly elite and perfect race.
Ohh, i look forwards to it!
