Artist's Comments

<Edit> Hahaha, omg, how wrong are her boobs?! Oh man, I need to edit this picture bad^^; Sorry everyone, I had no idea how crap this was. That's the last time I use Poser to create a pose/anatomy referance for my art!<edit>

*please full view*
My entry for Divine Blue's art contest on Gaia. I was really pleased with this, but only managed to bag third place.
Blues' character description was pretty simple so I spruced up the costume design a bit with the silver bits and sash. The character description said she had a blue glow/aura, so I added the blue glow, but when my boyfiend saw it he said "Oh, so you've finally caved in and started using filters", and I was like "What, but can't you see all the wavey bits?! That's not a glow filter, it looks nothing like glow filter!" and he told me about 'Corona', a filter which produces a very similar effect. If I'd known about it, then I'd have used it rather than wasting forever on making the glow the old fashioned way with airbrush>_< To top it off, the darned glow makes her look like she's floating or something...grrr>_<+
The dragon looks better at full size, shame I saved the jpeg so small *sigh* but lucky the original file is huge, now I can make a print out of it! Yay!

Spaint helped with some of the work on the bg, since I was short of time for the deadline, but it turned out I had quite a few hours to spare anyway. I wish I'd spent more time on it now.

Amazing colour and I love her anatomy and th detail. nice composition and background really adds to it. I like the glowy effects too my only crit is the dragon doesn't seem to fit in because it isn't being affected by the the surrounding colours. great work

Thanks ^_^ Yeah, the dragon was more reflective originally, but was changed after I was told that it looked like a green/blue dragon, when it was supposed to be silver or steel or something...I forget which now ^^;;; There is still some reflection, it's more evidant in the detail shot than here though.
