Description This is wallpaper sized for 1024 x 768. If you want another resolution, I can support something upwards 2300 pixels wide! So just note me if you would like a larger version <3



This is actually a project for school, believe it or not. I've finally found a way to draw things for myself and get them to count for grades, too ; )

This piece will eventually be painted onto a canvas in black and white, with the coloured bits done with a projection screen and placed in a gallery setting. I can't wait! It's due in a week, so I'll probably update this entry with photos from the actual showing.

Lue belongs to me :3
100% Adobe Photoshop CS3, drawn and coloured.



EDIT here are some other sizes for wallpapers. Let me know if you want a specific size (yes, I CAN do widescreen)

2560 x 1920
1600 x 1200
1680 x 1050 (wide)
1280 x 960
1280 x 800 (wide)
800 x 600

I have a huge love for swirls, which... might be quite obvious, ahaha, but those clouds are wonderful. They have a magical, and mythological edge, as if inspired by Japanese folklore or such.

It's just such a whimsical picture, I love the pose, and the light and shade to the colouring. The line art is nice and clean too! I think one of my favourite things would have to be the hands, they are just so nicely formed :3

I hope this went well for your class!

*tiptoes over from *osyris ' page*

What a uniques style, and a gorgeous color/lighting job. I also like the contrast between the 'real' character and the paper-thin clouds/scenery.

NitCrits: There's something about the top leg that bothers me....almost seems to far back in the picture, perhaps? Probably just the position though - not one I've seen very much.

On a more Random note ~ You'll be presenting this in black'n white with the colors projected onto it? That sounds so cool! I wish I could see that, and what it does to the art.

kina In reply to Sunnybrook1 [2007-11-28 05:42:32 +0000 UTC]

Hm yes I did notice that the leg was a little off.. I actually had a lot of trouble with it I think next time I will actually use a real model for the overall pose, tends to be a little more accurate. Good eye, tho And thanks for the lovely comment!

Aww...this is so pretty. As for the comments: It's a bit long.

Firstly, I like the theme you've used in the picture. It's suits how the character's happy expression as she reaches one of the stars. Second, the coloring is nice. I like it how you shaded this pic. And the effect of a glowing star is so nice and soft. :3

None the less, it's one of your best pics ever! Epic ed!
