Speedpaintby =Velnna

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

I'd started this a while ago, so technically it's not quite a speedpaint

but I haven't spent more than one or two hours around it, so maybe that's what it is ^^

My freetime is expanding

Countdown to holidays

^{What do you think, anyways?}

This is a very emotionally evocative piece, very subtle in colouring and yet it really caught my eye in your gallery, which testifies to the great understanding of balancing value that I see in this piece. The wings, though, could do with a bit more definition, at least at the part closest to the rest of the crisply defined elf.

The mirroring adds a great deal of interest to the piece, but to make it more realistic I would suggest not only warping and blurring the shape, but also rotating it a bit in relation to the character, so that it does not remain symmetrical in placement and thereby still somewhat unorganic and 'stiff'.

The elf itself is beautifully drawn and the anatomy is very well done, especially considering the complicated pose. The pose is one of the most powerful components of the piece, and it is done to near perfection here.

A last note would be for the signature to claim less importance in the composition. Blending it into the background more, by using a blue-grey colour instead of a contrasting yellowish would possibly do the trick.

What do you think?

Wow, it looks so dainty and fragile - which are perfect attributes of a fairy to capture. I think its very unique in the style of the wings, very vintage looking which is something I haven't really seen be done before. Its hard to create wings that are different from the normal so I am impressed with that.

The fairy looks deep in thought which engages the audience, it makes me wonder whats being thought? The withdrawal (closed) body language, adds a hint of secrecy and mysteriousness, alongside with a feeling of either content or woe.
The only thing I would recommend is adding just a gentle touch or flicker of color to the wings, just to add a hint of magic.
