Description
Sketch found here...Dedicated to my 100th watcher
This is her character Princess Lucianafrom The SummerRaine Cronicles.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER
For further info on the character please see Endorell-Taelos as this is based on her story.
ABOUT THE IMAGE
To be honest it took me quite some time to get this image colored. The down side of having such a detailed sketch is that you have to have the same detailes (to a much greater extent) in the colored version. I might go back and touch up a few things later but for now it is complete as is. I hope everyone enjoys it.
EPIPHANY
As I worked passed the 20th + hour on this image I realised something, it is a completely rewarding feeling to bring the a beloved character of someone else to life. It helpes me be more patient and take greater care than ever before to complet the process of finishing this image.
As I gazed at the image I came to the conclusion that perhaps I WILL give doing commissions and selling my drawings a try. What can I loose right? Only problem is that I don't have a clue how to go about doing that. I don't know how to set up a paypal, spread the word, set up prices and all of the other details. If there is anyone out there that has done commissions in the past or knows how I could start doing commissions myself please let me know.
Special thanks to...

Would you ever want to try doing the Charmed comic with me?
You wouldnt have to color it, but just do linearts for the actual pages. I could help with the storyboards and story.

hi, I'm sorry that it took me a while to reply to your comment. I have given this proposition A LOT of thought and to be honest I'm not sure that I am ready for a challenge such as this.
It is a great honor that you would consider me good enough to work on a comic book with you but I'm afraid that for the moment I am unable to do so. The thing is that at the moment I am trying to set up some commission work, and to find a way to make some money from my drawings by selling prints etc. I have a few commissions lined up and I fear that they will be taking up a lot of my time. I'm sorry I hope you understand

Yeah, its cool
Have you tried to set up prints in the dA store?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, I'm not sure how...outside of Photoshop and the occasional Google search I am hopeless with the internet and using the computer in general
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well when you submit deviations they have option to submit the deviation to prints. Try that. I can look around how other artists do their commissions if you wish.

I didn't know you could do that
