I love how soft and gentle it is, her expression, makeup, hair, lighting. everything.

A beautiful elven woman on a precise painting. Alatariel means "The After-Comer's Star" in Quenya, reminding the blue wizard Alatar.

A beautiful picture.
Has this been here since 2005?

It has, yep. I've gone through periods of time where I wasn't working on my artwork at all, and I had a pretty long hiatus for most of between 2006 or so and now. Unfortunately.
But I've been painting for a while, just not very consistently!
And thank you so much!

Thanks! I did it so long ago for a skin tutorial, and it still remains one of my favorites.

that looks beautiful!! love the realism, and the pose. I took a look at your tutorial, thank you, now I know that shading the skin isn't just using a darker version of the base tone. anyway, the skin looks lovely, such soft blending. the hair looks great too, would be great to have a tutorial on hair too, 'cause I'd really like to see how you do hair....

I still don't feel like my hair is up to par with the rest of my pieces, but when I do, you can be sure there'll be a tutorial. Hopefully soon.. I plan on doing a piece devoted specifically to focusing on improving hair sometime soon!

Its nice to see work from you again and as always your work of the human figure, in this case I suppose elven, is always flawless! I am truly surprised you do not have more pageviews on work like this! Keep them coming, you have one fan .

Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear that the hair turned out decently this time. I tend to either do well with it every so often, or just not put the time into it that I should. I'll figure it out one of these days, though. Thanks

She's Beautiful.... a full view is more then worth it on this one. I love her expression too... I'm also excited you are doing a book cover! I can't wait to see what it looks like, Perhaps I'd have to buy it just for that! xD

slshimerdla In reply to EmmaEsme [2005-04-23 06:36:46 +0000 UTC]
Not sure how good the book'll be, but the cover art is going to be fantastic! Well, hopefully anyway. It's taking me forever to do, as I keep getting distracted, but it'll come along one of these days
And thanks!
