Actually seeing the thumbnail of this picture on another site suddenly made me realize something:
The clouds, they look like WINGS.

"I've noticed you never use yellow," an acquaintance observed. They were right; I favored cool palettes; still do sometimes. So I made myself do this. Later on I ended up making a warm, sunny, yellow-centered color scheme for my website.
Color is weird.

Probably her. Though for all I know she has a small forest of tentacles and cilicia between her legs; the worlds in my head right now tend to be ones where gender's weird that way.

Mmm, very nice. Looks like she's moving in slomo.
I think one of my favourite thing about this is the contrast between large areas of colour/gradient, and then the lovely details like the twirl on her forehead and the foliage. Plus, she's cute.
Is the background blurred intentionally? It gives the impression of distance but kinda marks the lovely crispness of the pic, moreso on the edges of the clouds than the dome. Just a thought.

Any blurring in AI is intentional! I did it to add some distance-haze, and to push the fg a little apart from the bg. I played around with a similar effect on the figure, but it didn't work - there were some technical weirdnesses, and she already has enough conceptual blurring going on with the gradient thing.
The clouds were, like, the third or fourth attempt at getting something in the far bg; they don't have much to do with my original sketch, or the directions I was originally thinking of going with them.

I think you might be on to something! Time to start a pay site!
This is really well done and I totally dig the background but... why that brown?

Honestly, I'm not sure. It was a lot of different colors at different points, with utterly different bg treatments. But the shit-brown clouds just seemed to conjure up the right contrasts with the purple and the sickly yellow/green. It's a little heavy in the thumbnail, but at full size it really makes the hand gesture pop.

Illustrator 10 over a pencil sketch, six hours at most. I was fooling with some other things while doing it.
Thanks!
