Description
First of all - sΓΉbh is supposed to mean "mistletoe" in irish. At least my dictionary says so.After all a picture I'm really proud of again. I started out following a tutorial on EK but strayed away from the guidlines very soon. The tutorial is perhaps a bit too good

Wonderful - I don't think you need the tutorial.
Beautiful rich depth and pale delicate skin like the pearly mistletoe berries.
Favourite.
I do need many tutorials, so if you could direct me to 'EK' I'd be very grateful. XX

hey, i love this pic! any time it appears in my favorite box, i'm amazed anew by its beauty. keep up the great work!

hey hey, I don't know you but I was wandering through DA and was completely boggled when i saw a recent work of yours. Everything is stunning, probably because the detail in colour is something I have yet to apply to my work....but still fantastic and I believe this one tops it off. It has such an age old painterly feeling to in in the earthern colours and mysterious mood! Wow, I could stare at this for hours.....have you ever worked with oils or acrylic, because if you applied this colour technique to it I'd drool lol. Regardless please try it, I'm sure youll love working in the mess...or whatever your comfortable with hehe. You'd be right at home I'm sure!
Goodluck and I'll pop back as you have new stuff up!

My traditional media images are a bit behind the digital ones in quality though - since with digital pictures I can work on them until they suit me and even move features around and so on. With traditional media its a real disatvantage that my sketches are very sloppy and the errors in deatail show up much later..
thanks a lot for the comment

i remember seeing this somewhere! i don't know where, but it certainly is pretty.

Hehe, that's the best kind of tutorial - the one that teaches you enough that you feel comfortable going out on your own. This is very nice.. I love the greens, and the style that you did her hair in is really interesting. : ) It's not as smooth as the rest of the piece, but for some reason it works. Nice job.

I agree completely. Its sad she never continued it - at least as far as I know.
Shamefully the pic just came back up because I decided to do a puzzle print - seems that made it appear on the front page again for some reason. Its really a bit older but I'm stil happy for every comment since I love it myself..

just sneaking another chance to look at it again! it really is one of my favourite works on dA

It's my absolute favourite of your works. It's so perfect! Luv it.
(tehe... I have the tutorial somewhere on my harddrive XD Well.... part of it. I think she never finished the little project, did she?)
π: 0 β©: 1
not that I know of, sadly...
that was more than interesting. I havn't really heard from her for ages. But I think she's really busy with her fairytale book.

Very nice portrait. The colours are gorgeous

Hehe. Although I already knew this picture it's still one of my favorite of your works.
I can't find the tutorial at EK anymore either - but I also must say that EK isn't like what it was before, you don't have to register anymore as far as I know and well... the community has changed.
I'm happy to see this work here on deviantart, I missed it

thats cool. it has a very traditional look to it, the way you used the tones reminds me of oil paint. i presume you used painter for this and not photoshop?
π: 0 β©: 1
errr... no. its plain photoshop. I sadly never got around to really learn Painter. I played a bit with it but most of the menus confuse me ;D ...
maybe I should try it again..
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i had some issues with it (still do really) but its worth working in cause theres some things you just can't do in photoshop.

Ooooh! I really like her hair, I've never seen hair done like that! It is lovely. I like her full lips & the pinkness on her nose & cheeks.. The whole dark brown tone looks really fantastic on this peice.

Exceptionally pretty... Well, maybe make her nose a little narrower...
