The Sun Will Still Rise

Media:

Digital - Created in Adobe Photoshop CS3 using my Wacom Cintiq 12wx and finished using my 4×5 Wacom Graphire4 at the tail end there when I had to send my Cintiq back for repairs.

This piece was referenced from a photo of myself… you can really see me in the face, if you can get past the blue skin.

I will also post some closeups of this image later, so you can see the teeny details. There is a ton of detail in her face and hair that you can’t see zoomed out like this (this image is at about 8% of full size.)

Just messing around with something light-hearted and fantasy. I do like how shimmery the skin came out, and am really digging the stained glass look of her wings. I plan on doing some more fairies eventually.

It is my intention to eventually redo the background… I kinda took the cheap way out with a space scene and photoshop lens flare XD I do love the idea of a space scene like this, but I would like to do it more justice.

I would also like to come up with a less cliche title; I want something more meaningful and suggestive of the tone of the piece. Titles are always hard for me on my more light-hearted/just-for-fun pieces. The look on her face is what made me come up with the existing title.
