Description
Another piece done entirely on the computer. Very difficult for me because it's a completely different way of working than I'm used to. I'm not too excited about her hair or her robes, nor the background really. I'm not a great scenery artist. But I had fun doing it and I like the tones I picked. I'm getting better at that.Alia is based on the actress that played her in the David Lynch movie but all growed up (Alicia Roanne Witt). No photo reference but I just thought of her when I did this.
You might want to click it for full view cause it's tiny in preview. Don't ask me why.

I don't know if it's my tablet settings or what, I just have such a hard time getting what I want out of these paint programmes. Adobe Photoshop is the only one I can really work with. (OpenCanvas is pretty good though).

That's what my friend Kat uses, she says about the same thing. Clearly I haven't fully experimented with the mysteries of the Adobe Photo shop lol

Adobe Photoshop is the most natural feeling programme for me. Mainly because I've been using it since 1995 when it was version 2 or 3 on my Mum's old LC 630 Apple Mac. 
The brushes and the blur/smudge tools are fantastic. Not naturalistic quite like Painter, but very effective and precise. Play with the brushes, that's all I can say! They're great!

i thought about her as an usual muslim woman with that usual arabian round face (now that i think about it, she didnt have fremen ancestors, i must have got something mixed up).

No, she had noble blood. Bronze hair, pale soft water-fat skin.

Great job!

Alicia Witt? She kind of remind me to you xD I mean this pic, not Alicia Wittt. It looks good, I actually like the hair, and I really like the background.

Hah. Yeah, I tend to accidentally put my features in things when I draw them. Don't ask me why.
Thanks, babe

That's ok, I think in a way or another we put something from ourselves in our creations
I keep looking the hair, I love the colour. I think it's the perfect redhead :3

The background, hair and face are gorgeous but yeah the robe is a little weak. Maybe try a bit more texturing of cloth or leather? And generally clothing does have a hem line visible, so it's more acceptable to keep a drawn line around it to help delinate it from the rest. But nice! very nice! Spooky ass eyes.

I didn't want to put too much detail in it, I'm trying to get a balance between digital and my hard media style. Texturing the robe would have been super difficult. :T Guess I need to put the effort in if I want it to look perfect! LOL!
