Artist's Comments

A concept art I was asked to make into a wallpaper (1024x768) a while back. It is a Seelie Elf supposedly clad in Rose Armor. There is not much reference to roses here, though I still opted for an organic impression. Apologies for the obvious use of Photoshop filters :D Its a great, great tool, but I myself would rather tone it down when I can. Hope you guys like it.

*lukavi is a fairly unknown Deviant just recently brought to my attention. His illustration style is unique and somewhat storybook-like, with soft overtones so lovingly defined and yet easy on one's eyes. Seelie Elf is just one of his many amazing pieces, splashed with a muted array of etheral color in a digital painting style not unlike the supple strokes of watercolor art.

Thanks for the tip! After putting this up, I quickly realized the many errors I made, in posture and coloring, which I plan to correct in my future doodlings.

Thanks again! Have a good one!

The photoshop effects add to the effect, oddly. You're good :O_o:

I really like how you gave him a very distinct face. It's refreshing to see in the midst of all the other, monotonous faces in artwork.

::wouldn't know a filter from the tedious way anyway:: This is my new desktop, if you don't mind. The lighting in this is just stunning and his form is so beautifully elongated in a way that seems most natural for his appearance and posture. Amazing detailing and work throughout the armor and weapon. Digital art just dumbfounds me. XD

You do have skills...
I love the lines, the body is excellent, like the details, and the colors, so soft, so natural
now, in your gallery, something that impress me is the background... how in the hell can you make such amazing backgrounds... I tried to play with soft colors but all I get is a miserable mix of... crap.
wonderful work !

Mine doesn't always turn out the way I imagined it either, hehe. It's a hit and miss thing, man. One tip I could give is, when doing your background, try to set your brush's opacity lower, that way you will have some freedom to layer your colors and textures without leaving it looking "muddy" or too thick. Hope this helps...

I think that might help !
I enjoy your lines

sometimes we are not comfortable with some technique, but as you say, try and fail will pay sooner or later :)

what photoshop filter were you talking about ? I can't think of any on this draw... :|

Actually its not so much a filter but the leaf brush I used to make the shards of light. I didn't break them up enough to sort of mask the fact that they are indeed made with that brush. Hehe.
