Description
This is the first time my pallanoph character Tjora has ever appeared in color, I'll have you know. I said to myself, "IT'S ABOUT TIME I TAKE CARE OF THAT!" So I did.

Initially this was meant to only be a quick color study in Painter to see if the tones I had in mind would look fine. The dark "stockings" were a recent addition, so I decided to try it out. This "quick color study" became quite involved as I was caught up in the little nuances of her coat. Before long, I moved the file from Painter to Photoshop to touch up the little nuances. After several hours (yes, I'm ashamed to admit it took me that long) I arrived at this. I rather like the outcome, I'll have to admit, it's a rather pleasing color scheme, though who knows how washed out it looks here. Critiques and comments, as well as any other feedback you might have is encouraged. We all know I'm not perfect and you'll likely spot something I haven't. (I just don't check the critique feature anymore, since I hear it can discourage people. Ah well.)

I've probably missed something, though most of the info can be found on this ref. Let me know what you all think!

Corel Painter Essentials 4, Photoshop CS3
Roughly 8 hours
