Description Another painting. I spent 10 hours more or less working on it as it was an ambitious project for me. Once more, I left the background quite simple as I wanted all the attention to be on the central figure. The cloak is a simple half transparent silk tissue with Aztec motifs.

I hope you like I put energy into this!

Hi neivadias,
I don't mind you using it as long as you credit me and/or link to the original picture on DeviantART. I hope it's not too much to ask!

I just love the detail on her face, do you use a model?

vervex In reply to kayceeus [2008-10-07 17:48:21 +0000 UTC]

I usually use a model for the body (mostly for the shadows) but not for the face. I just go with inspiration

Wow..
That blue design on the flowy clothes is so amazing. And so soft and silky looking. How do you do it!?
It's just very beautiful all around. I do think the hair is a little stiff in comparison to the flow of the clothes and jewelry, but that's all I can see

vervex In reply to Screw-You-Narutard [2008-06-08 00:51:24 +0000 UTC]

Well since the hair is going against the gravity, that might be why you have that impression! It's totally true but intended

I'm glad you like it! I added a link this afternoon with the WIPs, so you can see how I did it step by step

Yes! I still have to edit the description and add the luminarium logo, although I wanna see if it's accepted in the exhibition before I also need to post WIPs for people it could help
