Description
7 Oct. 2009 - UPDATED Thanks to everyone who commented.------------------
I wanted to draw Elwen Mora because Iβve love *VyrL 's depictions of her. Elwen is an Efraet (immortal human, sorceress) sensual and strong, a little crazy and mysterious-looking, but also soft and vulnerable at times. From what I've gathered, this character has loved and lost a lot in her life, hence the nostalgic, longing look she sports above.
Pencil shaded and painted over in Photoshop, trying to keep some of the texture.

I see that you have updated this piece. It is stunning. It is a great overall flow from the trailing hair, the fabrics, and the length of the body. Great work.

This is certainly a beautifully elegant piece in pretty much every aspect. The main thing of course that stands out to me is her hair! But I also love the ambience of the background around her, and the amount of attention you drew with the sheets around and covering her. Also, I think the cushions in the corner make this complete.

No worries, and I think you pulled off the depth well. Although I will admit that the bed's testers do get in the way with the details because of how dark they are in contrast with the rest of the piece... but only a little. So it was nothing I believe detracted anything from the piece, and the only guidance I can give is to blur the details on them so that the perspective shows them out of focus with the rest of the image... or something to that extent.

Ah, thank you. That's a great suggestion! I might do that.

wow... amazing work on the shading and details. Love her hair!!
There's not much to say.... it's so beautiful~
I find that the hand on her chest could be a little more naturally placed but that's about it ^^
I would love for her face to be more realistic to match the very realistic everything else. BUT that is just me....
love it~

very nice, i really do like it, her boobs seem a lil big, and is she supposed to have something blue under her hand?? and if so, what is it?

Thank you for your comment. It's a stone that glows when she uses magic. It's part of the character's design.

Anatomy of figure looks fine to me.But I think that anatomy of figure is not the most important part of this work.Important is emotion.Good job.

First: this work is very good, especially the colors and the pose of her. Keep at it!
one little idea for improvement: the hands and feet a little bit to small. hands should be long as the face and feet like the forearm.
good examples you can find under [link]

Wow, this is almost perfect! I love the hair so much, it just flows everywhere and great job on the color of it! The details are phenomenal, especially in the sheets! The blue ?gem? under her hand really stands out, great focal point.
For improvement, the ?boards? in the lower left corner and upper right corner kind of distract me away from the main part of the piece. Try to make them a little less noticeable.

First off this picture is AMAZING, the soft colors give a sense of warmth and comfort....but for some reason the girl doesn't exactly look too comfortable...just like the title says, maybe she is looking for a different type of warmth maybe from a requited love? Second this is anatomy wise. Her neck just looks a little strange to me even though her neck is turned it should look a lot more relaxed than how it looks now, also she is turning into her right shoulder so her neck she be inclined into her shoulder there, almost as if it is relaxing into the collarbone. I dunno if you understand what I am saying I hope it makes sense. Over all though like I said before its a beautiful drawing...

Nice piece. Good contrast. Anatomy wise, I would say her neck is slightly too far to our left as it sits on her shoulders, and also that her left leg is too short in both the thigh and the shin.
Good work.

Very lovely piece!
I don't see any major anatomical flaws.
Two things puzzle me though. One is why the tunnel in the blanket on the left side of the image - I don't see a body part there and there seems no reason for it to be up like that. Maybe some flattening on the top would have made it seem more ... sheet like?
Second is a perspective thing. I see she is on a pillow but I feel like her head is too elevated for the size of the pillow.
Overall a lovely piece (I was unsure if it was a drawing or a photo when I saw it in my dev watch!). Color choice is phenomenal and detail and texture are lovely. Well done
Thank you for sharing!
