Description ... in a dream of Golden Skans, from now on. You can forget our future plans
~ Klaxons, Golden Skans

That is a song I really love, and it may fit this picture quite well. (In fact this is only a very kitschy "magical" autumn pic...)

Please click on "full view", the small view seems to be quite blurred.

Hair is something difficult... I never thought of it, but now, while painting this picture, I finally realised that. (So much more to practise out there!)
The picture may be called finished, but there still could be done so much. O_O

I got three very helpful paintovers (or OPs) during the painting process, and especially *janaschi s OP helped me a lot with the light colour and the collarbone area. Thank you!
(You can see the whole WIP process here in my scraps: [link] )

once again your blending is extremely well done. The glow against her skin is especially gorgeous. Another beautiful piece

The glow was the reason to paint this piece!

I must confess that I got a lot of help from other forum users, though, who gave me the right direction.

Absolutely gorgeous.
The colors are just fantastic, and the way the light is hitting her face--so beautiful.

Thank you very much! I'm very happy to hear this, as getting the light right was my main goal for this picture.

Nice. The skin tones are natural and smooth, and I like the blue reflective lighting on her nose.

Thank you! Getting the skin and light colours right was the hardest part on this... I got a bit of help and used references.

jesus christ, I've never seen such beautiful lightning. This piece really has an admireable glow, but sharp at the same time. Haven't seen that before. I usually get an idea about how people techniqally painted their paintings but I've got absolutely no clue how you've managed. The colouurs really stand out. : o

Seyreene In reply to Kimmiko [2009-12-15 18:49:08 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very very much!

Well, I can't really tell you, either. It is a combination of Painter and Paint Sgop Pro (I think i didn't have PS at that time), a very nice overpaint and a general picture idea. And time... lots of time needed for this picture. (Oh, and don't forget the reference photos! Lots of them, too.)

I think it is a very nice graphics program for people without much money. I still use it sometimes!

Yea..we used to have it at my school, just couldn't figure out how to use it : p but it's many years ago, maybe one should check it out again D:

thanks!

Seyreene In reply to Kimmiko [2009-12-22 18:40:45 +0000 UTC]

Oh, really? I owned an earlier version, too, and always felt well working with it. Of course older version don't have some aspects current versions have. Today the program is much like Photoshop and other graphics programs.

wow, beautiful piece! love the lighting. there is a lot of depth and beautiful subsurface scattering on the skin.
one detail that is just lovely is the blue on her nose, reflecting the bg color a bit.

The details (such as her freckles) are really good, as is the way the light, coming from the source in her hands, reflects off her figure.
Plus, I just love how her hair seems to float around in the space she is in, her calm expression and the general soft feel of this piece of art.

Great job! : )

Without any reference, I wouldn't have been able! But I want to be capable of doing every kind of light without refs some time in the future.

Auf diese spezielle Art und Weise der Schattierung (bzw. des Lichts) kam es mir ja auch an. gar nicht so leicht, und ohne Hilfe unmöglich.

Ich weiß jetzt nicht, worauf es sich bezieht, aber es macht sich auch schön zu Weihnachten
(Ich weiß, das war jetzt sehr konstruktiv... T_T)

Seyreene In reply to nessi6688 [2008-10-19 10:12:02 +0000 UTC]

Hey, dankeschön!
Jeder Kommentar ist toll, und so unkonstruktiv ist der doch jetzt gar nicht. (An Weihnachten hatte ich nämlich noch gar nicht gedacht, ist aber 'ne gute Idee...)

Es bezieht sich konkret eigentlich auf gar nichts. Oder auf alles.

Ich wollte eigentlich nur mal "Licht von unten" üben und hatte Spaß daran, daraus ein etwas kitschiges Bild zu machen. Die welligen Haare sind auch so ein Faktor...
Die nächsten Bilder werden wieder etwas weniger, äh... esoterisch.

Haha, das war auch so eine Sache diese Farbkombi zu finden. Du kannst dir ja mal das WIP angucken [link] , zuerst war alles viel kälter.

Seyreene In reply to algenpfleger [2008-10-19 10:19:14 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, klar. Aber es stört mich eben, dass "große" Bilder bei mir immer soo lange dauern, weil die erste Skizze bzw. die ersten WIPs meist überhaupt nicht stimmen... Erst durch die Anregungen anderer wird das dann doch was ganz gutes. (Und auch so, wie es eigentlich auch in meinem Kopf ist.)

Aber ich hab auch schon einen Weg gefunden, um das zu verhindern.
(Das setzt bei der Skizze an, und ich will jetzt auch erstmal eine kleine Übungsrunde einlegen.)


Äh sorry, ich quatsch dich hier voll... O_O
