Description

After painting some darker-than-my-usual stuff, I've done something all light and pretty

Anyway, first, sorry about the rather uninspired title; this is a cover for a new novel series by Hotupub, this is cover no. 1 so yeah. The girl is the love interest of the main character. She has long hair, other wise, I had a lot of freedom with her look, only thing is I have to make her *really* pretty. I think I got it so I am happy.

All painted in PS, with some final texture work in Painter.

I also did two b&w character portraits for this, which are linked below.

I saw this on CG Talk. Very pretty one, the colours are beautifully subtle.

Very pretty image, soft and fluffy. THe details in the dress are off the charts, and the eyes are so deep. I really like this image perfect for the season

This is really good work. I can't really work out how old she is though. Her face looks a bit older than her body to me. Doesn't really matter though, still a fantastic piece.

Ooh, nice.

I usually get bored of all the paintings posted here, they all look the same, same pose, concept, elf, etc...
But I like this one, nice light.

Almost good, but the "floating" hands and the plastic-looking neck spoil the impression... Add some shadow from the arms/hands on the dress, and make sure the flesh color there works right; and rework the neck.

so pure... I think this is my favorite of yours !
(I might be boring with that... but one more time it seems that the hands need a little more work.... hey, don't look at me like that !).

I love it.

Nice one PeachySticks :)
Well, I saw this one today earlier at CGtalk, and have left quite a long-winded comment there ( and have also accidentally confused my own account login therefore did a double post ), so I'll just give you a thumb up here. Her face is really pretty!

Some flowers looks a little bit inconsistent (too hard and sharp edges, compared with surrounding grass). But nice lightning and especially the soft glow!

Nice airy, pastel-ish feeling. Would like to see the clouds rendered better...

But, (thumbup) nonetheless!

jonnyc23: I don't know either But I'm guessing teens.
DrInker: I thought you could say this is the same as all the other boring pics :p
arenhaus: yeah the hands aren't very good, added a tiny bit of shadow on her dress, though the fleshtones and hands were really difficult to get right, I think I won't temper with them anymore or I'll simply make them worse.
amoeba: saw your post there and replied so I'll just say thank you

Everyone else, thank you all for the comments!

beautiful face, nice work on the dress
her arm in the back I think needs some shadow maybe the same color tone as her other arm its a tad bright
the light is behind her correct?
and on the side of her face that's facing us right under her hair I think needs a tad bit of shadow too
that's just my personal opinion though I notice the flower to the right you fixed since you first posted it was a tad bold

over all just beautiful 10+
