Update: here is the eighth attempt. Still far from perfect - ideally I'd add a bit more chadow on the right side of ehr face, a little dirt and loose hair etc. etc. but the pencil lines are gone and her nose is a bit more central (I had noticed before, I just couldn't be bothered to correct it ¬_¬).
There are still imperfections that I have kept, since they were intentional; no one's face is exactly proportional to itself, and Elenuial is meant to be very much real and alive, not floaty and ephemeral.
------------------------------------------
This is a portrait I made for my Sindar ranger character Elenuíal (Twilight star), for the MERP UK Middle-Earth server, which I must say is the best server I've ever played on.... :)
Based on an original pencil sketch without reference and finished with some slightly clumsily done digital paint in photoshop. Not one of my better pieces, but after seven attempts I thought I'd better just post it as is or go mad....

Absolutely lovely. It's nice to see some original, uncopyrighted work. She's beautiful.

Lovely imperfections.

I really like the expression of her face! Especial her eyes! :-)
(Maybe it would be one of your best pieces, if you put her nose a little bit more in the center of her face ;-) ) _________________________ DIE HAPPY Link
