Description I was trying to illustrate a series of elementals, and the first one I did, lo and behold, was dancing. I had a really hard time deciding where to put this drawing, and decided upon traditional since the girl was drawn traditionally and colored with prismacolor markers. The BG was done entirely in Photoshop. It's kinda basic, I'm not really experienced with BGs. But I still like it, so there.! XD

This is East Gate, a fire elemental in one of my stories. There is also North Gate, South Gate, and West Gate. Who are the water, earth, and wind elementals respectively.

Anyways, I hope you like it. I think it is one of the best drawings I've done in awhile.

Oh, and thanks to for the tutorial on extracting a picture, it really helped!

Scanners can be finicky. You seemed to handle it well though.
Those firey whatsits remind my of base clefs. Heh.
Very nice. ^^

Thanks! (I did set the colors to hard light. I also had to give them back their life after the scanner sucked the colors dry. *frowns at scanner*)

You can sure enhance a picture that way. Hard light always seems to make my fire-themed pieces more glowy/burny, so I really like it.
