Description
Aerie... of both the fairy lore and the elven lore...---
20% manipulation, 80% painted
Aerie - reference photo found here: [link]
reference for the trees from: *BlackDove-stock
brushes used: ~Shadow-Brushes + ~spiritsighs-stock + ~Falln-Brushes + ~sadestock + ~AutumnsGoddess-stox + prettybrush
stock from: *BlackDove-stock + =resurgere
---
technical details:
- 40+ hours, 20 hours spent on Aerie alone - the dress took the longest time. and I experienced significant trouble with the face... but what can you expect? this is my first digital painting...
- painting the trees took forever... i had trouble with the blending - and by the time I was finished with Aerie, I had grown tired of looking at it and grew increasingly frustrated with lack of background ideas. I had to take a day off before I could resume the piece.
- I got really lazy with the background, so I just used a couple of stock photographs just to be done with it.
- Sols (my sister) named Aerie

enjoy!

ooh.. nice work! I love how the dress is all satiny and shimmery. Also, i'm in awe of your patience. I don't think I've ever managed to sit through anything for half as long.

i ran out of patience in the completion of this one that's for sure - it's not as detailed or as "painted" as i hoped it would be...
LOL! i'm working on it!
oh, and thank you!

are you kidding? 40 hours!! I don't think I've ever spent that long on any one piece of work, not even when I was supposed to for school projects. *sigh*

LOL! oh come on!
er... i guess i went a little overboard... i literally would not sleep until 5:30 am because i got addicted to the tablet. of course, i actually got sick of looking at it for a while and took a day off but then the addiction took over the next day. so really, it's not because i'm meticulous or anything - it's because of my addiction to the tablet. i've honestly never operated something as cool as this (gah - i'm easily amused!
it'll pass - but i *really* LOVE this thing!

I know what you mean though... when I first got my tablet i emitted oekaki after oekaki.. but whenever something took longer than a few hours I'd save it, swear I was going to come back to it and subsequently forgot about it.

i mean, it's still part-manipulated because i got lazy but the main figures of the piece are 100% painstakingly painted... i have yet to get used to it.
