Description This piece my first adoption piece up for adoption at Ellen Million adoptions. A detail and adoption information is available here [link] Sorry for the words, they have to be there. It's in my contract!

Anyway, this image is full of new stuff. I had just gotten the book d'artiste before starting it and the tutorials in there guided me a lot. This is my first image using only hard edge brushes. It is also my first image using some Painter (at least the ony one I have shown the public!). You probably can't tell where I used it, but it's in the hair. Mostly it's photoshop. One of these days I will figure out painter! And lastly, my first image showing teeth! Teeth are scary things to paint.

Edit: Apparently this piece was adopted already. Yay!

Awesome! I would only say that her forhead looks a wee bit too bumpy.

She has such a lovely face -- so full of life. Very nice work!

Wow, I do like the colourwork. I think I'd have a lot of trouble trying to pull those colours off. I love the expression on her face, kinda cheeky! And I just love how shimmery her sleeve is.
The only thing is that her hair line, and hair piece look a little off, maybe if it were more in line with the centre of her face? Well, nevertheless, it's a wonderful and eye-catching piece!

haha! well, you know, I noticed the hairpiece about halfway through the piece and was going to change it. BUtthen I decided I liked it that way. It added a sort of real affect to her. Maybe it is because hairthings never stay in my hair very well! I am sorry if it is distracting though. And it has already been adopted, so I can't change it now. But I will remember that next time. I am glad you like the rest of her though.

Oh wow! I knew i would be impressed I love the dark pallet, and you did a great job on the teeth. It is rare to see someone who can do teeth without making them look scary

Well good. I am glad you like it! I just went to the site and it appears to already be sold! It took over a week for her to get it up, do you know how long it takes for her to tell you it sold and pay you?

Enh, Thiel was a bad influence on me. So you didn't see me at my best. Fiore has been much better to me. I am certainly glad last year is over!

Yeah, Thiel can be good or bad. He was half good for me because I work best under pressure. But yeah, my new teacher is Dunnick and he's like, the total opposite, so I guess I'm still doing okay with absolutely 0 pressure.

Thanks. I am glad it turned out well. As for multi talented, I guess that comes from a lot of schooling and overwhelming curiosity!
