Description
A belated birthday commission for *Rikaflare of her character Kaida, an ice-nymph warrior of sorts.
This was originally supposed to be just a pencil portrait in the style of my "Beautiful Memory" piece, but then I decided to add a light color wash to bring out the look of the ice. Drawing snowflakes and icy mist as a background theme was new for me, but a fun challenge!Artwork Β©me [link]

This artwork is one of my favourites of yours. I brought a print of her from you last year and have her on my bedroom wall. I wake up every day and look at her. Simply beautiful.

I like artwork that is emotionally challenging. Kaida is such a beautiful and expressive portrait that causes me to stop and wonder.

I really love your work, I wish I could produce something even half as good. Your work does inspire me to have a try, though.

I love the snowflake. They're beautifully rendered. And I love the textures on her clothes.

i love this,it's so pretty ^~^ Im planning on making characters for my story, but i don't know how to start...can you tell me what type of paper you use (A4,A3 etc.) and what type of pencils you use?? Your art is really beautiful and it inspires me to do better.

I use regular 8.5x11" (A4, I believe?) acid-free printing paper, and 0.5 mechanical pencils.

I don't believe so, but you'll have to ask her creator.

Lovely piece. I love her soft almost dreamy expression and the color scheme pulling on the purples in very nice and soothing for a winter theme, keeping it in the "cold" area but still giving it a warmth that echoes her expression.
Cheers!

I love this! How did you paint it in PS? multiply, or low opacity, or just normal painting over the lines?

Just a low opacity painting under the lines. The pencil layer was set to multiply.

Wow, its amazing what color can do to make your beautiful drawings pop! The first thing that caught me was her beautiful face - she is so absolutely lovely! Her eyes are so real and soft. And I adore her hair, it has so much depth! (I really need to work on doing that)
The details are incredible, I really love the ice and debris on her shoulder, and the butterfly wings(?) where her hair ties. I bet those snowflakes were "fun" to draw! Hehe. But really, this is stunning!!

What is it about the elven folk that just makes them so enticing? Wait...are nymphs related to elves? Hm? Anyway, nice work.
