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 see my cousin, lol. It was not meant to be my cousin, yet after almost finishing it I can definitely see a resemblance.

You know what, it's so great! Is Tink's face based on any actress or model?

Nope! I will reveal all when I do my tutorial. It was based off of my own reference which I created.

My thorough respect for this amazing piece of art.
Without speaking of the famous fairy, I can swear I've seen this girl before. Did you use an actress as an example?

No I didn't. When I do my tutorial I will show the reference images I used. Although I did have to say when I was almost done I looked at her said oh my gosh she looks just like my cousin! It wasn't intentional though, lol.

Then your cousin is a mix between Charlize Theron and Kirsten Dunst

I love it!!!
What would the world be like without Tink.
It would be a little dimmer and less cheerful ...to say the least.
You did an outstanding job on this.

THIS. IS. INCREDIBLE. Seriously, I am blown away by how you have rendered her face, it reminds me of an oil painting in a way because of how soft it looks. Although I have always thought you were a great artist, there is a visible improvement in this piece, please keep it up! Take care
