Faerie Primping
Back to "Fairies (2008)" Album
I orginally created this faerie in Painter last March. I decided to paint a background for her like I did for the Green Faerie piece. I tried to add some lighting to her, but since I didn't conceive of the composition all at once, I had difficulty. I spent many hours just staring at the background, wondering how to depict the foilage. The end result departed from the minute details of my reference and I used a lot of custom brushes in Photoshop. I think it has a etheral overall look to the piece, but honestly, I was trying for more realism.
