Description
Edward Lear wrote a poem about The Jumblies, with their sky-blue hands and sea-green heads ( [link] ). Over a hundred years later, Artoveli wrote a very messy month-long novel about these same Jumblies. One of these characters was Luxor, a Jumbly girl with a fairly tragic past.This picture is me trying to develop a look and feel for the Jumbly culture. But I continue to tweak. A lot of things about my manuscript need to be overhauled.
You can see a less dramatically shaded version in my scraps -> [link]

I luuuuuuuuuuhrve the lighting and the shading and everything in this--it's so dark and mysterious!
Interesting idea for a novel, by the way...

Ooh, it looks great! She's really pretty and I love her pose!
And then the background and the shading... amazing!

Thanks so much! The shading wasn't that hard to do really, just a matter of two colors and a fancy brush.

Well, not everyone can do that, even with a fancy brush. You've got skills.
You're welcome!

Feels quite professional.

Woo, thanks! I think it's probably the dramatic shading talking though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. She just looks so elegant! and kind of lonley.
This prolly sounds wierd, but the shading looks like strands of hair O_O it's a really neat affect!

You know, I think the brush (in Photoshop) was a hair clipping. Kudos for noticing!

is it a crime to work on last years nanowrimo this year if I just do 50,000 more words?

Quite awesome. Where might I read this novel of yours? It sounds interesting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, didn't you ask about that before? Or was that someone else...
Anyway, thanks for your interest! But I'm not letting anyone read it yet. Luxor was a side character though, to the main story which was a retelling of The Owl and the Pussy-Cat.

I don't believe I've asked before.
Thanks anyway though.

wow! I'm impressed by the warmth of this background! this girl has so much character in her expression and posture, and just in one picture! i know, i might be reading too much into things, but it's a delightful piece!

Thanks! I don't think I quite pulled off the look I was hoping for, but I still like these results. Incidentally, she came across completely flat in my manuscript, so I'm trying to work out her character a bit through some art.
