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!

awesome pic. the blending with the trees turned out really nice. i personally like the glow around aerie.
i was thinking that if the dress was giving you problems, that you could instead build it from translucent strips (in a physical dress sense), which you could replicate on the computer by using a brush set at something like 10% opacity, and build it up that way. alternatively, you could first draw her naked, and then just put a sketch the contour of the dress, fill it, and then draw in the detail by layers (it's how i tend to go about drawing my heads, i draw the skull first and then build.)
as for the face, i find that i tend to have difficulty drawing things with fine lines using a graphics tablet, so i tend to just sketch it out on paper and then scan it in.
the flowers and the leaves seem a bit too detailed, maybe you could use something like the watercolor filter in PS?
