Fragile

by Malla in Portraits

For the August MY-FX monthly challenge "Fragile Things".
Here's a link to an animated gif of a few progress shots.

This is probably some of my most detailed skin ever. I came across a hint from miss Marta Dahling in a back issue of ImagineFX that helped me out there.
The bubble was rough. I had to look up a lot of images before I could get the reflections right.

    This picture is soo beautifull! I really like your interpretation os fragile! It's so original! And I really like how you painted this. Beautifull colours, I like the childish and girly mood of the picture and the way you used saturated colors.
    the buble is fantastic and I congratulate you for trying something so difficult and painting a bubble like that (I find that king of element quite difficult to paint because it reflects so much colors). Maybe someday I'll see you writing a buble tutorial in iFX :D

      Thank you! That bubble was difficult. It had to be semi-transparent, but they're so reflective. In the end it worked out just fine, if a little too opaque. :)
