Well I spent forever and a day working on this one. It's only my second digital painting, and my first ever posted art here. It was done using exclusively PS6 and my Wacom. I was going for a softer pallet, using no black and just 2 or 3 base colours. Hope you dig it.

Thanks for that feedback... I made some slight changes to the face... more comments would help me greatly.

i think the face should be prettier if she is an angel, she looks pretty old now, about 40 id say :shrug: also why black lipsticks, i asociate this with those gothic chicks :buttrock:

I think that the figure looks very "man-ish", and the wings' feathers looks very rigid. Perhaps you have put so much effort in the details. I think that would be better to create an overall look without working that much in the details.

whoa, thats a great painting! :buttrock:

but if she's a paladin i would say put a nice big sword in a sheeth hanging from her waist. Now she just looks like an angel with som magic thingie going on... ;)

Really nice painting.

But the first thing I was surprised by was that she had a robotic left arm? After a long, closer look I noticed she has the same white armpad as the other arm. It disappears completely on the white background.

I agree that her face is not so "fair", but I appreciate the overall effort you have spent with details, contours, etc.

Wow that looks great.

Is that a new version of the picture?

The first one you had didnīt look like that.

Yes, I did some small tweaks based on some of the comments I recieved... however I think people were right... too much time on details and not enough on colour depth and really capturing her femininity. I spent too much time on it to feel right about doing a major overhaul. It is just 1 image, I'd rather spend the time and make something new and just learn from this one.

Also regarding no weapon... I didn't really want a huge sword... Paladins are defenders and protectors... I figure if she really was an angel she would most likely have some magic. Thus a big ball of white light.

Thank you everyone for your insight and comments.

The pose looks kinda stiff to me. It also seems the proportions are off on her left arm 'to long compared to the right'. You could add in some feathery texture to the wings as well. Other wise its pretty nice for your 2nd digital painting. Keep on truckin Yo...
