Description None had walked the Emerald Valley for years for the cold grip of the undead had taken merciless control over the once holy place of the elves. An elvish rouge enters the scene, she draws her enchanted blades and blessed flames enlight the dark passage, for danger fills the air. The Spellsword walks in, to bring redemption to those, who had been cursed for too long.

Done for for Ilex-Press UK's Fantasy Art NOW! as a pixelbrush.net exclusive WIP www.pixelbrush.net/forum/viewt… , where i posted my steps on page 6.
painted in ps cs2 on my wacom cintiq 21ux

*edit updated to the slightly colorgraded version, and painted a fogpass, and gave her a scalemail for protective reasons ^^

Hettar7 [2010-06-30 01:59:04 +0000 UTC]

Her face is gorgeous. Very exotic and beautiful and dangerous. The statues in the background above her give a very ominous feel to the image, which is appropriate given the story behind this. The green tint makes me think of mold and poison, which is also appropriate.

Professional caliber; are you sure this isn't an oil painting?

TheFirstAngel In reply to ApocalypseKitten [2013-05-15 22:02:59 +0000 UTC]

nope i can ensure you its not tho the way i work on my cintiq comes close to oilpainting, laying thin layers of color over each other to have rich shades of color, its nto the fastest way but very enjoayble ^^
