Description Well, here you are; I decided to finish this painting, after about three months of it being created, and sitting in my computer, waiting for the right time to be finished.
This is Elle Driver (aka California Mountain Snake), of Kill Bill fame. Played by the lovely and talented Daryl Hannah.
I drew this from a promotional photograph of her. I tried by best to accurately portray Ms. Hannah's looks, and I think I did pretty good.

Took me forever to paint. The hair was the second hardest thing to do - her face and flesh tones were the hardest.
The black outline on her face and her suit might look out of place, but I wanted to leave them there, probably gives it a more cartoon-feel.
I hope you like what I've done
I might do another Kill Bill fanart, as you already know, I have a boner for this movie.

Wow, thank you so much That really means a lot to me. I've gotten Elle and Beatrix printed and framed on my wall, I'm pretty proud of how I painted them. Thank you for the favourites and for adding me to your friends list.

i'm a total kill bill fan myself, o-ren ishii's teh_shit this is awesome except for the dark line of her jaw. but as you said, you wanted a cartoon-like appearance. otherwise, its accurate, well painted and just plain cool

bratchny In reply to flamingLily [2006-08-31 16:22:51 +0000 UTC]

Hey, thanks for commenting! I'm glad you like it.
Looking back on this painting, I do agree with you and others, the black line is ... what's the word - overbearing and makes it look less real, I think. I liked it before, but now I don't, haha. (I was a bit wary about painting a jawline, actually. I've never painted one before, you know, using colours and not lines, so yeah... I think I should give it a try one day.)

Kill Bill's awesome yeah I've got four of the figures they brought out - I wonder why they didn't make an O-Ren one? That would have looked really nice, her wearing her white kimono and holding her sword... then a replaceable head with scalp-falling-off action!

Your chin lines are too firm for such gentle coloring. secondly the blouse line also detracts from the subtle color that runs throughout the piece. Good work Loz.

Critique no, all-out admiration yes!

Great work matess! (which isthe female version of mate.) I'd have thought the hair was the hardest part: it's so detailed! virtually every strand is drawn. It's amazing!

You have a skill with using outlines, I must say. You know just where to put them. I think they look just fine.

yeah her mouth seems a bit off... ok ill stfu.

You know what I like? the signatures on bottom. Very elegant.

Gosh, I can't stop looking at her hair...

All around awesome work, Laurie!

Thanks a lot for your comment - thankyouthankyouthankyou!
I started off making this painting kinda cartoony, so her lips are a bit bigger than usual, if that's what you mean. But then I got the realism vibe... and yeah, w00t!
I can't stop looking at her hair either, looking for mistakes
