Something for the "awwwwwww"s... =^.^=

Played with my Dremora again... started as a simple portrait but his hair was quite some work. Here he is Ma'ahanoor, Dremora of very high ranks. :)
Terre said:Well done as usual. Is hair ever really a simple affair for you? It dosen't look like it to me. You've put a LOT of work into the hair of all of the images I remember seeing.
Thank you!
And well, yes and no. Yes, because I have painted so much hair by now that I have quite some practice with it and the whole technique is pretty much the same with every picture. Of course I learn new things and also I made myself some brushes and those change every now and then... but I can also say "No" because it is always a lot of work. I bet Nan can relate to that. especially with portraits... since portraits force you to paint all the details in a very... well, detailed way. Also there is shades that I find hard to do such as black. For me black hair is the worst.
Terre said:If you need practice with black hair does that mean we get to see more of the dark-haired mix-blood? Please?
puffle_huff said:Good. I feel better now, heh.
But seriously, I'm like a little raccoon because I keep gleeing over all the shiny silver jewelry. I mean, I know she spent a crap-ton of time on the hair, yet I think I like the silver better. xD

GRIM said:You can tell you've worked on this one, extensively. May I suggest something in the postwork process? The fog/steam that you added..perhaps doing a few layers with an overlaying layer of noise to help break it up, along with soft touches of blurring, erasing (I usually erase fog/smoke/steam using some of the brushes that come with the set at a very low opacity and do it in segments until I find the right mix) along with just a few hints of 'highlighting' could bring that effect more into the 3D circle? It's something I've been working on in my pieces to see if it helps add more impact so I thought I'd toss that thought your way
Trust me, if you don't think the same way I won't be offended. ;) I have a thick skin.
