Description So I decided this morning to do something...
and I told that I was going to look through her gallery to see who I wanted to work on for our kiriban character trade...well...I knew I wanted to try my hand on Eithne. I mean, she's a fire elemental! I'm actually quite pleased with how she turned out...

The photo reference came from
17 layers
roughly 5 hours.

I know her eyes are the wrong color (they're green..they should be brown) but I hope you like her ^.^

She's beautiful! I love her pose, and her hair, and the little beads. Great rendering of Mandy's character!

Och, 'tis lovely! ^_^

Heh, interesting too -- I also have a character, in my novel, named Eithne, whose main elemental orientation is fire (and earth). Mine's a redhead, tho, and pale-skinned with freckles ...

Nay, nay, me hearty! I just be making an observation. ^_^ Besides, I still be doing the edits on the damn thing, so it'll be a bit of a while before the "new & improved" copy be ready. Arrrr...gh

Mouse *cradles her aching mouse-hand*
Carpal Tunnel is an artists greatest curse

But thank you, hon

Someday I'd like to get a tablet, but for now my little laser mouse will have to do

thats amazing, the only thing i can draw with a mouse is a smiley and even that looks like a dogs dinner!

LOL! It takes practice...and alot of it at that. I can't tell you how many times I have to go back and delete a line cause it came out crooked. It can be a real pain. Best thing I could ever suggest in learning to use a mouse to paint is to scan the pages in a coloring book and go to town, LOL. But I don't suggest sitting there for 5 and 6 hours at a stretch...even without carpal tunnel or artiritis or anything like that it can do horrible things to your joints!

I'm really glad you like her ^.^

*gasps* Oh my gosh! This is the most beautiful pic I've ever gotten of her! Somehow I knew you were going to do her, her being a fire girl and all. I love her dark skin and her hair. Oh, she's just beautiful! Thank you so much!! I'll try to get yours finished asap!

Take your time, lol! I know you've got alot you're working on.
Honestly, I was trying to figure out HOW to do a pic of her and this morning I started working and just got wrapped up! She's such a beautiful character and you know how I love those tragic love stories(though I was rather disturbed by the fact that their story isn't in your Library!!!) LOL. I'm just so glad you like her!!

Heh heh. I swear I'll write it one of these days! Heck, I composed a song for them - when they meet. It's called "Drawn to this Place" and it's even got a reprise (I grew up on Disney...what can I say?)

Yeah...you have to find a music site! I want to hear the song!
