Description Her name, as well as the season of her surroundings, is Autumn. Just felt like doing a random portrait to cheer me up a bit after losing some of my other artwork on a corrupted hard drive.

Thank you! I had so much trouble with those in the beginning. Never again, I'm pretty careful now.

I love her expression! The colors are really nice too. I also think you did a wonderful job on the features of her elven face. The eyes and nose (esspecially their shape) really pull off the invisioned image of her race. I like how the ears are subtlely sticking out.

Wow...absolutely stunning. You have a wonderful eye for artwork. Excellent job

Sorry to hear about your hard drive. I know how much it hurts to lose files that you can't replace.

slshimerdla In reply to BrendanAngelo [2004-09-27 03:40:22 +0000 UTC]

I still may recover them when I get back to the states. But then again, I've really advanced so much in my skills since then (or so I'd like to hope), that recovering those at this point may be obsolete. So glad that you liked this, thank you!

I'm finding it damn near impossible to find something to write in terms of criticism... so I'm afraid you're going to have to put up with praise... lol

I love it, nothing short of perfect... the eyes are beautifully done, the hair too, which perfectly suits her name.

Thank you! Ahh, tablets can make all the difference in the world. It's crazy. You'll get one eventually. (Go for a refurbished one for half the price AND with a guarantee!)

Wow, now that's quite a compliment, as I think this gal is quite attractive! Thanks! I think artists generally put elements of themselves into most of their portrait pieces - after all, that's what you see every time you look in the mirror. Just my own personal feelings on it, considering I've been told I look like a lot of my pieces. Thanks so much!

unholyxangel [2004-08-20 07:42:31 +0000 UTC]

Her eyes are AMAZING. Especially the eyeshines, oh my. The jewel is well done, as is the realism... The only thing that I see could be better is the gold band. It looks a little plain compared to the rest of this gorgeous image. You do such a great job with realism and its just so beautiful, how can I not fave it!?

slshimerdla In reply to unholyxangel [2004-08-20 23:54:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you're right about the gold band. I still need to get better with metals, I think. Once I do, I'm going to do a full suit of armor and wow everyone. Until that day, even my gold bands look clunky. Thanks for the comment, and glad you still liked it

*laughs* Yay, I cannot wait to see that!! I have a piece where I did metals... it was a robot thingy dude. I used lots of dodge layers all at different opacity, so that might help ya? XD

Beautiful, her eyes are just amazing. And the jewel too. You really have a knack for getting that sparkle, it brings those elements out.

Thanks - I hate making lips - these went through so many redos its not even funny. Her hair was the most recent redo, and this piece is finally where I'm happy with it now. Glad you liked it, too, thanks

Demonisk [2004-07-22 21:09:38 +0000 UTC]

I like the update

The hair looks much better now, without the gold ring on top of it.



My usb-harddrive died a while ago too.. I lost all my school-files.. So I know the feeling...

slshimerdla In reply to Demonisk [2004-07-23 14:39:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - I agree. I like the softeness of it, as well. Though I liked the style before and the preciseness of it, there was just something not right about it, including a lack of depth. Hopefully I fixed that up, even if I did change the hair style and color a bit in the process. I'm finally happy with it, though, and that's what's most important, I figure. Glad you were happy with the fix, too - thanks!

but hopefully this gorgeous piece of work did cheer you up a little, I know it made my day

slshimerdla In reply to Illahie [2004-07-23 15:03:00 +0000 UTC]

That's always a wonderful thing to hear. I'll either get them back or I won't. Truthfully, I'm starting to think at this point, if I ever wanted to go fix stuff from that far back, I would likely have to redo most of it anyway. I'm finally beginning to reteach myself color theory and... well, the stuff I wish I'd still remembered from art classes in HS. And I didn't really use much of that at all in these earlier pieces. So, it's probably not that big of a deal. Thanks so much for the comment.

Thanks! I like how the ear finally turned out - it was sticking out too far in most of my earlier attempts, as well as just not having the pink tone that most ears do. Gladja liked it

I had seen this girl's stock gallery some time ago and found it quite hard to believe that nearly no one had made anything with her photos. I'm glad to see that you decided to use her photo as a reference to make this amazing piece! The eyes look absolutely amazing! +fav

slshimerdla In reply to joaopinheiro [2004-06-27 15:55:09 +0000 UTC]

I know! She's quite beautiful. I would have loved to have used her own hair color, but I thought that I'd drawn far too many redheads as it is. The blonde ended up fitting what I did with this so well, though, so it all worked out.
