Description
Tink, the mischievous spriteI tried a new technique this time. I love the realistic result. I used Nathie's skin brushes and they made all the difference. I'll be doing a step by step tutorial of this image soon.
This is not a photo manipulation or 3D render. There was no over-painting or tracing. She was painted by hand.

I've been plagued with morning sickness since discovering I was expecting last month. It has been delayed but I do hope to do this in between commercial projects soon.

I hope you don't mind that I shamelessly put in a plug for those brushes in my tutorial. It really did make everything go soooo much faster and I hope it helps lots of other people too. [link] Thanks for the awesome resources.

Elves are meant to have short hair in my opinion. Somehow it makes them way more pretty.
