Description "The Great Queen from above... she is the queen tyrannic... This is the time of worshipping her figure before she extracts from the kidneys its vigour."
Dark Moor - Phantom Queen

EDIT: Well, finally I had time to improve this image. I repainted some parts, worked a lot with lightning and color, I think looks much better than the original. It´s something I´m gonna make for every single paint of mine here.

Closeups here: [link]

Painted in Photoshop CS5, the original size is huge xD. References of the model for those who asked: It´s me, I´m the one portrayed there. Not as a matter of ego, just contest requirements

Now here is a picture in your gallery deserving of a DD. Had you not already received one, I would have recommended this one in a hearbeat! Beautifully done, not simply for the quality of the image, but for the emotion on her face: very haughty indeed Lovely work!

Libellula In reply to deaddoll00 [2010-12-11 20:29:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! If this is a DD one day, omg, I´d feel totally egocentric because I used myself as a model (contest requirements xD), but yes, this was much more complicated to paint than the other which was a simple practice. And still, I have to add and improve lots of things in this one, lightning and color, but I have no time right now. Hope soon ^^

Libellula In reply to OmriKoresh [2010-10-22 17:14:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for your advice!! And specially with this image! I really want to repaint a lot of parts and fix the light, but the date of the contest didn´t allow me to polish it the way I wanted. But now that it doesn´t matter, I will definitely follow your advice ^^. Thanks again!!

slsleo [2010-10-05 20:17:40 +0000 UTC]

beautiful work...I know why they didn't choose certain artist designs...Disney company has a very specific family oriented format....the darkness of this was probably too hardcore for their tastes...so many artists got played in this contest...wow

Libellula In reply to slsleo [2010-10-06 19:03:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I think you´re right, judges wanted something closer to Disney´s image. And think that I´m planning to paint heads there in a near future o_O. Haha, anyway, thanks a lot for your words sweetie, I truly appreciate them ^^
