I have spent so so much time on this. Maybe more than any other peice in my gallery. I have been working on this for roughly 2 months off and on. Today I wanted to finish it, I spent another entire day at work on it. I have changed the background I think 5 times, the eyes I have painted and re-painted I think 4-5 times...mouth/lips...countless times it was the most frusterating thing for me.

I want to say (before you rip her apart) that the fingers are SUPPOSED to be like that, I purposely redrew them so they would appear to be frog like, or otherworldly, like a creature or a pixie...I wanted her to really appear to be like a fairy or pixie of the marshes, strange fingers, large long ears, dragonflies, mist, etc...she is not supposed to look like a realistic human, shes fake, shes fantasy she is one of my characters I have made up. Please consider that when commenting. I know shes not perfect, but its to the point now where if I have to redraw her lips one more time, I may just scream. She has been just a hair away from the trash can until today when I finally dedicated myself to finishing it. I am discouraging critique on this one unless its technical stuff but pls keep in mind this is fantasy art and its not meant to be exactly realistic.

Technical Stuff...
The pose/parts of clothes are referenced from ~Dove-Stock
The wings are a repainted purchased resource
I used some brushes from `spiritsighs (mist/lights) & =MonicaWeasley (tree branches in the distance) Also a couple tree trunks in the distance from *AutumnsGoddess
All work was done in Photoshop CS with mouse & Wacom Tablet too many hours to remember, probably well over 24-30 hours
