The snow flakes are brushes that I designed.
I looked at magnified snow flakes for reference.
Yes I did use the scattering effects, then I layered them.
Also her crown is another example of a brush that I designed.

Iâ€™m glad you like it. ^_^ thanks.

Bleh, I'm sick. *sniff, blow, cough* That means I'll be spending my time sleeping instead of coloring. Some nice entries so far though. Yes, I think everyone so far has used shape brushes...snowflakes or leaves. Very cool.

I hope I'm doing this right...this is the first time I've submitted to a contest here, and I couldn't find a list of rules. :sweat:

The smaller, low quality version for faster loading can be found here .

And yes, I too mistook her shoulder for hair. :sniffle:

I didn't realize it until after I had finished and re-read this thread more carefully to try to find posting rules. My apologies, I hope it looks all right anway. :red:

Very nice my friend with the Shakespearian name. There are no real posting rules, as long as you can tell that it is the same picture that was originally there... Interperting the shoulder as hair is fine, I often interpurt the pictures in a way that is not expected. For instance, I might inturpert the shoulder as a fish. hmmmm. Thats an idea...

ooh, wow, I must admit, this has become my favorite so far. VERY nice compostion, Lady Macbeth. Your deep color scheme pulls it all together.

Fish? There is nothing fishy about her shoulder! Ehehehe...pay no mind to Scribs. His entries are always more than a little wierd.

Scribs, I love it. :lol:

You stayed true to your word - her shoulder is a fish. :lol:

I'm particularly fond of the sun, myself.

Postby **Scribs** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 11:22 pm

I must admit... Something went wrong with her neck.
I am not sure what, but something went terribly horribly wrong.

Postby **soul alive** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 11:44 pm

Naw, nothing went wrong with her neck, she just has a bizarre tattoo... .. o_O;;;

Seriously though, great entries guys and gals. Looking forward to seeing more.

Yet another artistic tragedy in the life of Scribs. Bizarre man.

Esoteric, you coloring this'un? :p

Postby **Esoteric** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 8:10 pm

<reads question> Uh, yeah. Moping around the house with a cold is no excuse not to color such a nice picture! Besides, I'm feeling a bit better so...here ya go. This is about only about 1.5 hours of work. I'd should have spent more time coming up with a more interesting background but... <wanders off to find the cough drops>:sweat:

Enjoy.

Postby **chibiphonebooth** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 8:12 pm

oooooooo... perdy... *o*

i love the flowers on her cheek.

That's awsome Esoteric. How does everyone keep missing the neck/shoulder line? lol

Hey, what program do you use?

Neck/shoulder line? <Looks for it again> Ah okay, I see the neck now, at least the top of it. The line becomes ambiguous once it mixes with the hair. I'm not sure whether her back is toward us or away from us, hence the confusion I think. Course, I can blame my mistake on delerium this time around.

I use photoshop 7.

hmmm.. I love the face very much esoteric.. (especially the flowers.. pretty) But the rest seems to contrast to much to... i dunno.. it just doesnt seem to fit her. but Thats just me. The shading is still wonderful as always

Photoshop CS (creative suite) is the 8th and latest, but I understand it's nearly identical to 7.
