Description

This was done for Elizabeth Weimer, a wonderful customer who just gave me the green light on posting a bigger version of the portrait - so here it is! The character is extremely flamboyant - a vampire, a pirate and a noble all in one. This portrait is dedicated to her queenly side.

And you absolutely must check out the detail shot. It's at 50% zoom - the full image is 3626x5500.

Corel Painter 9, Ulead Photoimpact 8, Wacom Intuos 3, waaaay too much time.

On a sidenote, I know this is a repost, but since I can now post it at a considerbly better size than before, I figured it was worth it.

P.S. It's not that she's very short, it's that the grass is really really long.

Very nice work, but the grass can't be so long according to the shape of the dress. She has short legs (poor her....she's like me!)
Amazing work on the sky ans dress, the necklace is wonderful too

I think her lower lip is a little bit off. Everything else is perfect

Really really beautiful!! How come you can post a larger version now?

Thanks a lot for the comments and crits! Yeah I can't change the length of her legs/dress anymore, but the client didn't seem to mind, so perhaps that is in fact an appropriate height.

thienbao - thanks! The previous size was going with the EMG PA standard according to the contract, but since this was done for a specific client (although via EMG PA), she was okay with it being posted at a bigger size than the EMG PA restrictions suggest.

besides the fact that the character is wonderfully portrait and some minor things everyone else was pointing out already...those clouds in the background are kickass.

Its very nice. But, its a bit *soft* for my taste. I just love to see the strokes, etc. Good work, though.

Beautiful piece, adore the colours.

I know you say the grass is really long..but I still see it as her being short. I think it's the fact that her dress flares out towads the end.

Anyway still great work

This is very beautiful, I love it. I don't often critique but I think she would have more presence if the skirt of the dress was longer ..... Wonderful detail on the clothes, bravo!
