Description I painted this using the restyling of my little page on sheezyart as excuse... (I will use it everywhereeeee )

I'm not really sure about the title... but as you may have noticed I'm quite obsessed with this girl with red hair and green eyes (who is supposed to be an elf), and this time I'm quite happy about the similarity with the image in my mind... so I see her as a sort of guardian to my own fantasy world.

reference from sxc or morguefile (I don't remember, it has been on my hd for a while)

edit: finally found it again!! reference photo . Not meaning to be a portrait but just copied the idea and the mood.

actually, I haven't see the movie and this didn't mean to be a portrait of no one in particular... I used this stock as reference ... I changed the face a bit, because I wanted red hair and a bit less childish face, but that's all.
Thank you for passing by and have left a comment!

^^ grazie! mi fa piacere che ti piaccia... beh, qua devo molto alla foto di riferimento... Γ¨ quasi un ritratto, l'ho solo invecchiata un po' (quella della foto era proprio una bambina) e le ho fatto i capelli rossi... sono fissata con i capelli rossi!

sì, aveva un che di fanciullesco nello sguardo...
beh tanto di cappello anche se hai usato un riferimento
eh avevo notato che ti piacciono i capelli rossi a me piace farli di tutti i colori, magari piΓΉ strani sono meglio Γ¨ XD

io lavoro molto spesso con dei riferimenti... fosse solo la mia faccia allo specchio! non so ancora bene azzeccare le luci altrimenti...

mi pare ovvio, almeno una foto vicina ci vuole sempre se si vogliono fare le cose come si deve

sì infatti... XD lo scotto da pagare quando non si sa usare bene lo specchio o gli autoscatti di riferimento sono gli amici/parenti che dicono "ah, ma sei tu questa... !!"... uffa!

XD no no, questa no... parlavo in generale... quello dalla vampira e l'uomo lupo (spero che la somiglianza con il lupo si noti poco, almeno!!)... sono entrambi io, anche into the blue, in maniera abbastanza spudorata... ... poi alcuni scarabocchi che non ho qua... XD
