Description Edited : I changed the colorscheme slightly, added a watermark and updated the print (no watermark on the print of course).

Hi everybody!!! It's finished (I think that it's finished but if you see some flaws, please tell me and I will fix that)

Yeah!!!! Wooohoooo!!! (I know that I may sound stupid writing things like that but it has been a hell of a job doing all the textures on the dress, crown and details everywhere!)

I want to dedicate it to all the artists who have helped me and who have followed the steps of painting. Thank you soooo much for your help, feedback and everything. Special thanks to the 2 artists who have made overpaints to explain me what was wrong (Eilidh from CgTalk - she's also here - and Dimitri from Café Salé. Thank you very very much!

You can see the whole progress here : [link]

I'll have some more free time now, so I'll try to reply to your messages, sorry for having been away for so long


Details : [link]

Prints should be available soon (I'll upload them today, I have access to a ftp software now )

You can see a bigger version here (just noticed that I had forgotten to put the link to it ) : [link]

Oh my...... A DD!!!!
Thanks soooo much for that people! And thank you very very much to ^silentkitty for having featured it! Thank you!!!

This work reminds me of a Michael Moorcock story.
The visual textures of her dress and headress are astounding.
The colours and transluscence of the forest are very real, yet hyper-real...
The water droplets make me thirsty.
Well done.

She looks almost really, it's incredible! I was blown away by how gorgeous she is, but it was the dress and crown details that really held my attention. I've never seen anything quite like this before!

Dianae In reply to nimblnymph [2006-07-02 20:07:36 +0000 UTC]

Wow, thanks so much! Lots of people didn't like the woman-mushroom concept though, I'm glad you like it

nimblnymph In reply to Dianae [2006-07-02 21:33:43 +0000 UTC]

Eh? *scratches head* Well, I guess it all runs to taste. There's plenty to fave on this one though, but I love faerie type figures, so naturally I gravitated toward her.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dianae In reply to nimblnymph [2006-07-02 22:20:29 +0000 UTC]

All runs to taste indeed But I'm not providing a "pretty" image of a fairy here, this mushroom is smelly and there are flies on her dress. She also has green skin, that may be the reason why some people didn't like this concept

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nimblnymph In reply to Dianae [2006-07-02 22:54:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but I don't LIKE the pretty 'Oh, I'm Tinkerbell' faeries. The natural ones are the ones I really love, and the mushroom idea with the flies was something completely different from the typical trees or flowers. But, 'tis okay if they don't, you still got a DD out of it, right? Right, that's what I thought!

Help from other artists really *helps*
Sometimes I get lost in the amount of help I get though. @_@bb One or two artists' of equal or higher level's help is best.

I really adore your concept on this piece, and I have seen how it has grown with other people's help. Love the concept, and the increditable efford you put into it. It's worth it's every appluse.

Moosepickles In reply to ??? [2006-07-02 18:44:34 +0000 UTC]

im not a fan of dicital art like this, but i took a look at the progress. and all i can say is holy shit. i never realized how long it took to make somthing like this so life like and real. ive really found a new appreation to digital art following your progress, seeing that each detail is to be done by hand, matching colors and blending.
i love how the all the detailed waterdrops reflect some red from the dress. and the flys are amazingly made. the dress looks akward but thats probably becuase its a mushroom material. but its heavly detailed and i can see that it was extremely time consuming.
its amazing that someone has enough patience to do this. im glad that it turned out the way it did, with the back lighting on her face and everything
im not really experinced in this, but het left wrist looks a little akward. its probably just me though. it looks kinda boxy or somthing.

you did an amazing job on this piece and im left breathless looking at it. it has depth and beauty in it. you did an amazing job.

MetaCapricorn In reply to ??? [2006-07-02 17:34:29 +0000 UTC]

I was only mildly interested in the picture, but when I looked at the progress, I got to feel it like a part of me, as if it would belong to me (which, of course, is not true ). That I can see the progress helps me a lot to understand how a picture with digital media is made, because if I look at one, I simply don't see where it has started, so thank you very much for that!
Yours,
Cb
