Hi people ! :)
Finally, I've finished my entry for the Poison Ivy Challenge runned by Pamzylove on deviantart.
I've spent a lot of time on it, I don't like this colour scheme so it has been very challenging. I must have redone the face and hands at least 500 times....
I hope you'll like it
Feel free to comment and crit! (I don't think that I'll edit it though, I'm tired of painting her...except for minor edits)
No reference used, except for the poison ivy leaves, I've at some photos of them using google image to see how they looked like.
The anatomy must be totally off but I've really tried... I'll do better next time
Photoshop CS2, wacom intuos 3A4
40 hours approx.
I must admit that I have a hair fetish....
Edit : I've fixed some little issues, it should look better now :)
7Shadows Each art that you post is a great journey into an incredible fantasy world that leaves you breathless. It's so detailed and masterfully done. Awesome work, and always eager to each of your new piece. :)
Jul 21st, 2007Diane Oh my... another feature? oO Thank you sooo much! *blushes*
Jul 21st, 2007I'm really glad you like it :) Thank you very very much!
7Shadows lol you're being modest. all your artworks are incredible! :)
Jul 21st, 2007Renyn Her expression is priceless... sooo great ~!
Jul 21st, 2007Hairs are also totally insane to watch.. i just love it, nice one.
Diane Thank you very much Mathieu :D
Jul 21st, 2007Diane Well... maybe they are nice but I don't like them... (except for the Chimaera and Deep Sea Creature thingies) it may be due to the fact that I'm spending way too much time on them... I become tired of seing them and I'm never happy with the results ^^
Jul 21st, 2007Thank you very much though ;)
leiko the anatomy looks almost exactly right. what you are doing with her lips and eyelashes are interesting. and her outfit is cute. the only thing is i wish there was a little more ivy in her costume or being, and a little less snake. if there weren't ivy in the background, and if there wasn't a costume, i would have probably thought she was a snake lady.
Jul 21st, 2007drowninsanity damn, the hair is beautiful. i love how it flows. you should def make a tutorial for drawing hair. the details of her jewelry and clothing are nicely done. great job.
Jul 21st, 2007Diane I've already done a hair painting tutorial ;) You can view it in my gallery here : http://dianae.deviantart.com :)
Jul 21st, 2007Thanks a lot!
Diane A snake lady? I had not thought about that :) I must have been influenced by some ideas I planned to paint ^^
Jul 21st, 2007Thank you very much !
drowninsanity oo0o great. i shall check it out. thanks a bunch.
Jul 21st, 2007LastWord This is a lovely pic. the colors in general are just beautiful. i love how bright her red hair is and how it stands out against her green clothing and background. but the only thing i dont like is how her hair looks like horns on the top of her head. other then that i love it.
Jul 24th, 2007LauraFerreira Mind blowing
Jul 24th, 2007Diane Thank you Laura! :)
Jul 26th, 2007Diane Thank you very much! I can't help painting horns everywhere.... Animals with horns have always fascinated me! ^^
Jul 26th, 2007Diane you're welcome, I hope that it can help :)
Jul 26th, 20073mmi Simply wonderful, love her eyes and colors. Well done.
Jul 27th, 2007geosarray You're always improving; Great choice of colors and excellent lightning effects.
Sep 17th, 2007DarkArtist eh... can you say "perfect"?
Sep 28th, 2007My God I love poison Ivy and seeing your take on the character leaves me amazed. What's that comment on the anatomy? my anatomy (and I mean my body) is more off than this one. kuddos
Gothiki that is absolutely beautiful !! i love the colours
Feb 20th, 2008Gekko can't find a suitable word to praise it...
