Description
This took a long time. over 20 hours i wanna say 38-45 total, maybe even 50 hours. Anywho, this peice is for dragon-con 2007: one down two more to go. XP Also its for my 25,000th pageview, that was fast, i just uploaded the 24k! Allthough its probably just that i work really really slow. Thanks for all the pageveiws!
to my watchers!tech and personal op:
I hate the palm trees, lets just get that out first. i hate them but the pict just didnt look right with out them. Right at the end i got really excited cus i was almost done and feel like i rushed it, but when i try to go back and fix it... just dosnt work out. So there it is.
I am really proud of her, the bed, that wood (referenced from search for wood, thanks ~LucifersLostDollie she also got me a ref photo for the sandstone) I love the sand stone too, i think it came out really well, plus i seem to suck hardcore at doing floor and this one came out half-decent. The carvings in the bed/couch thing actually have meaning, i copied them out of a book about egyptian language and art so blah i tried my best to be accurate even though the pyramids at giza arent really that close to water, but hey it made a great comp.
I spent alot of attention to bluish shadows and yellowish highlights, also the clouds are casting a slight shadow on the sand. The bed shadow came out like a dream on the first try! The clouds eh.. i like parts of them but dislike other parts. the curtains are not matching, one is longer but it matched the composition so i went with it. blah blah, ok i think thats all i have to say about that.
This print will not be limited like my others. However, ligit copies will be individually signed by me and have numbers just not a limited number, ex the first print will have a #1 on it instead of the ussual 1/50. Plus the other ligit will have no copyright and 25k thanks either.
as ussual: sphinx char Septet and art copyright to me.

By the divine, she's beautiful. The amount of detail and style you used are exquisite. Well done.
(Also, may I ask permission to use the appearence and name of this character in a story I'm writing(which was inspired by this piece, no less).
Again, excellent work. I hope to see more art like this in the future(and possibly more of this character as well).

Every time I look at your artwork (whether it's just a sketch or a fully colored finished piece) I feel unworthy to be called an artist, because the crap I do couldn't hold a candle to the wonderful work you do.
It's beautiful Sagey. You should be proud.
