still no update kirt?!.. :wink: :bounce: :buttrock:
you are not going to finish it? … it’s 16 of february :deal:

#44

I’m going to do my best to finish it this week so I don’t have to worry about it at the end (again). Yeesh … I start too many things at one time. :smiley:

#45

Really like the way the wings tuned out!
cool, but not fairy-like.
gj!

It looks like a fairy to me. Have you ever seen this book?

Lots of good (and bad) fairies in here.

#47

I was talking about them wings :wink:

#48

dmcgrath - Yes, I have seen that book and it’s one that is on my “to get” list. Great illustrations in that book that inspire. :thumbsup:

Alice - Hmmm … I’ve seen illustrations of fairies that have many different types of wings (butterfly, dragonfly, bat, aphid, etc). I suppose if you take any pair of wings and slap them onto the back of a miniature anthropomorphic creature you can call it a ‘fairy’. :smiley:

I know … not very original for me. This has turned out to be one of my less inspired challenge entries. Bleah! But it’s too late now to do something new.

#49

Latest update … finally finished the fairy. Now I just have to finish up the plants. Then I’ll touch up any last details and I’ll be done with this one.

Here’s the large version

Looking good there Kirt, maybe you should try and push the contrasts a bit.
Keep it up
:thumbsup:

#51

It looks excellent Kirt. I especially love how you rendered the wings…they look translucent:love: No crits here…can’t wait to see it finished:D
:beer:

#52

Fantastic, if you’re going to finish those plants, then no crits here.
I really like this one. I’m waiting for the final…

:thumbsup:

#53

I like it with the vague background, kinda draws the attention to the fairy instead.

#54

Almost done …

Large version is on CgChallenge.com

#55

Wonderful Kirt.
I have to say this is my favorite.

Good luck
:applause:

#56

Excellent, the contrasts did a good job on bringing the picture out…Nice details, If I could chose Id give it a nice sunlight lighting from the top right which I think would bring the character forward even more, but since I’m not, I’ll only offer it as a suggestion :slight_smile:

Like it alot :bounce:

#57

Final image - I did very minor adjustments to the previous image. Added the 3rd ladybug (because things are better in threes), did some adjustments to contrast and hue in certain areas so that the fairy pops a little more, and did a little clean-up/minor detail on the background plants. I could tweek this indefinately, so I decided to quit while it was at a point that I liked. :smiley:

Now I start waiting for the next challenge. Good Luck to All! :thumbsup:

#58

AWESOME! :smiley: :thumbsup: :beer: :applause:

#59

Like the pic, Kirt. Haha - took me a while to find the ladybug crawling on the leaf in the right of the background.:bounce:

#60

#61
