Nimue, the Lady of the Lake
A personal version of this character from the Arthurian Legends.
I've been sick all night so I couldn't do anything but to stay at home for the New Year's Eve… I felt so frustrated that I spent all my night painting something personal (I had not done this for quite a long time ^^' )
This is also a pretext to try some new custom brushes I made… and to experiment with abstract + "realism"
Photoshop CS3
Wacom intuos 3A4
7 or 8 hours
No reference used
Inspired by Ewa Karpinska, Gustav Klimt and Odilon Redon art.
If you don't know Ewa Karpinska, you should REALLY check her artworks out ! She's an amazing painter who has a very unique way to use watercolours !
_____________________________
Brushes used for this painting (you can use them but PLEASE credit me 
These are for PHOTOSHOP CS3) If you don't have photoshop CS3, you can recreate all those brushes using my Nimue Custom Brushes Tutorial Wallpaper pack Details Animated WIP Wallpaper coming soon on my other account (I'll update my journal with it)

Just so you know, I saw this on ebay here: www.ebay.ca/itm/2016-New-DIY-P… as a paint by number, and I think whoever posted it might have plagiarized your work. I thought you should know, should you be able to do anything about it.
Also, here, too: www.ebay.ca/itm/New-DIY-Paint-…~ and here: www.ebay.ca/itm/2016-New-DIY-P…

Complementary Colour Feature!This is for :iconrainylake:'s Project Feature contest
I've always enjoyed complementary colours in artwork. I think they can really make artwork pop and stand out, unlike a monochromatic scheme or a piece with perhaps too many colours all over the place. So without further adieu, here is the feature!

Thought you'd like to know that someone has stolen this image, cropped it, and is now claiming it as their own. Since DA is often slow to take stolen work down if the report isn't coming from the original artist I thought I'd let you know. Link to their page: [link]

good portrayal of a female water nymph. i wish i can do such very artistic things. just a suggestion, why not make "lovers of the lake", i think it's best if they are both water nymphs too.
