Loose painting in photopaint, no reference, from a pencil line drawing for the daily sketch. .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to those at cg talk and to dyronamics for the wing tip.

Superceded by new version.

i like her :) jk tttia well done

Her right foot looks um weird.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I don't really like her face, she looks like an old hag :S

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other then that it's awesome. Nice drawing!

The drawing is good, but shes ugly ^^

 

 

 

try doing a pretty fairy :o

 

 

 

and her ahz is big

thanks for the crits...I got some help from a guy over at cg talk, and I like the new version better. The nose was too high, ear was too low etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as for the posterior.... so that you can see the morphology is correct I changed the clothing . Perhaps big is relative, lots of variation I suppose.

final version posted, not spending anymore time on this one.

Hmm.. The pants look weird. A bit out of place if you ask me..

ive seen u do alot better

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

some c&c

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Put more effort into the hair

 

 

 

-Remove the purple color around the fairy

 

 

 

-Fix the right leg

 

 

 

-Change the face

Well I figured I was not really into this piece, no reason to continue...but one of the great artists over at cg talk convinced me to work on, so I will continue.

I really don't think the poor fairy looks very happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think its a lot to do with the overall flatness of the face, if you removed the nose the face could almost be used as a ruler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Theres not enough contours to the profile and the jaw looks too heavy and sharp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lips also seem to be turned down at the edges because of the rounded rather than slightly pointed ends to them, this enhances the depressed appearance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a look at this picture I rustled up out of google for an idea of a better profile:

I also think the upper edge of the thigh where it meets the arm is a little too high, lowering that would give a slimmer appearance as it then makes the visible leg look thinner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a last thing before I get turfed out of the library I would say that blue is not the ideal colour for wings unless it matches the skin colour of what its attached to, and even then only for creatures for whom membranous wings are suitable e.g. lizards and bats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a fairy, slightly transparent, skin-tinted wings would look nicer and more elegant than blue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

....now being forced out of the library :o

Funny you should mention that :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just started working on the ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a. thigh

 

 

 

b. face contours

 

 

 

c. wings....though I haven't done the skin tone, but that is a fantastic idea! thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, I am done. No more versions, even if ppl find bunches wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like how it came out in the end :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for all the tips here and at cg talk.
