Description So here's the commission/kiriban that I've finally finished of =Almalphia 's character. I do hope she likes it!

You know what I realize? This was a challenge, as it involved (a) the color purple (b) they're bright colors, for once, and (c) colored pencils... not something I use all that often.

No, I do not use Prismacolors. I wholeheartedly support my Derwents. They blend a lot nicer.

Almalphia is (C) to =Almalphia
Art (C) me, April Schumacher (pallanoph)

Don't worry, I've been notified and am doing my best to take care of the issue: I've already faxed at least one notification of copyright infringement form to eBay's Verified Rights Owner Program in hopes that something gets done. I'll have to fill out a few new forms since the products she's selling are being cycled through (I've counted four of my works being used in total), but I also have located the store owner's gmail and intend to send her a cease and desist notice. I assume dealing with this sort of thing on eBay can be more than a little tricky, so I think I'm going to have to employ a wide range of tactics in hopes this gets taken care of (especially since I'm far from being the only artist being taken advantage of here.)

Thanks very much for letting me know about this. It's greatly appreciated!

pallanoph In reply to Pure-dark-Magick [2009-07-19 17:10:21 +0000 UTC]

I just used a few different colors to get the gold affect... Can't remember offhand which colors. There is some ochre and green and darker browns, but their precise names escape me.

drachenmagier [2009-05-25 08:21:04 +0000 UTC]

This is really an interesting creature. This gold/violett-mix is great on it, makes the whole drawing almost sparkle, if you ask me. =^^= Only thing I normally have problems with is when the wings and shoulderblades almost connect at the same spot. I know, this is not your chara so I guess nothing can be changed here and I hope I'm not making you mad with this small critics.

No problem, perfectly understandable! Don't worry, I'm practically impossible to offend.

You really did a fabulous job. I love the hint of a background, that's visible at full-size, but invisible in the thumb. It's an awesome touch! And your pencil work is beautiful. I love the details in the feathers.
