Hi to all!
I`m very glad to show you my latest work, I`ve created espesially for my own Artwork Books, which will be published at the end of this year.
This painting, portrait of Red Haired Elenia, is from my Forest Fairies series (couse it`s my favourite theme in CG art and I return to it again and again :)
I used only Painter X here, worked with only my lovely Acrylic and some Oils brashes.
No photo ref was used.
I`ve made some live-sketches from my friend`s arms, I used for this painting.

Close-ups, please :

True to your style:) the dress is extremely eleaborate and the hair aery and full of inner light. The whole thing radiates. i only wish you had given the image a bit more sense of depth, but that's just i.m.h.o. and doesn't take away the effect:)

Incredible image Katarina. I love the details of the fairy, specially the dress and that long hair. The owl and the roses also look great. I agree with stalkeron about the background depth, I would also try to make it deeper, but itīs just an oppinion. Congrats Katarina, and great work.

stalkeron,mikeldi,minminxu - thank you for your opinion and comments :)
I think, if backgr and the front plane are both detalized it gives to painting some strange, unreal effect. I like to create front plans, full of small detailes and combine it with smoky, soft background... it seems beautiful to me:)
Anyway, I set every of your opinion much, thnx!

Vasiliska,eightgr,Estele - thank you, dears, I`m really glad, you like it :)

Katarina. Wow...that's all I can say. This is the first time I see a piece of your work, and I was blown away. It's haute couture as painting...it's awesome.
I have of course now checked all the other paintings in your portfolio. :)

Cheers.

Hello Kat!

I see you are back and rocking. This question might sound stupid: Have you painted this girl already? I feel like the name was Elanie - so do all girls have somewhat similar names or is this ineed the same one?
