Description [ A scrap of a painting, it was... which had definately seen better days. One lonely scrap of a painting... the elf inside caught in a world of sunrises and butterflies. ]

A RL commission for Raesha which I didn't upload right away because... I was too lazy to type up a decent description. In fact, I still am too lazy to type up a decent description. Should I take off the webbing in the image? @x@ My sister thinks it would look better that way. I personally don't like the lineart. But I'm happy with the outcome. =]

Version without the edits (to make it look old): [link] --- warning: large.
Detail shots: [link]

Neila (the character) (c) Raesha

-> OpenCanvas1.1 (AND THAT'S IT.)

all the elements look nice together... cos of the way the diagonal bits (like the slash in the clouds) compliment the body language of the figure [/babble]

that is -so- unbelievably awesome! i love the colors and the great paintjob on the rocks... the elf is pretty and has nice anatomy, and it's intriguing how the stick she is holding looks like it's coming out at the viewer. very awesome... love it

kyrra [2005-07-19 02:51:56 +0000 UTC]

That's really lovely! I love the peaceful setting and her expression. Her dress is beautiful, love the folds! I personally prefer the non-old one, probably because I'm partial to blue. But I really like the effects you used to make it look old! And the butterflies are a nice touch.

Do you still take commissions? If so, how much? *_*

kheleksul In reply to kyrra [2005-07-26 09:57:30 +0000 UTC]

I'm not taking them now, since I'm in Taiwan at the moment....

and I don't really have prices yet either. xDDD'' I'll post it a link in my journal once I've actually thought this through. @@'' Thanks for showing interest, though!

WHOA. Khel, you never cease to amaze!

hmm I like the yellow/orangeness of this version, and the butterflies are a wonderful touch, however, something just seems to be....I don't know...off...about the 'aged' framing. ? I like the non-framedness of the original version.

kheleksul In reply to chiiguin [2005-07-26 09:55:38 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... I kinda agree. All I knew was that I needed something in the foreground to complete the composition, but, being me, I didn't know what else to draw but butterflies or flowers. xDDD
