picture update
I finally got around to do a picture just for myself again .. and this time its even a character of mine (ok, ok, I've not even quite started generating the stats, but the idea is what counts, right?)
The character (if I am ever to play her ) is for the Firefly roleplaying game and pretty heavily influenced by Jamisia Capra from "This alien shore" .
The book is a real recommendation, by the way. If you don't know it, go and by a copy. Anyway - the newest ImagineFX issue arrived yesterday with a step by step on an SF character picture and I decided to overcome my SF fear and try my own version .. ok, my frail girl has little in common with the soldier he was doing so most of the advice didn't apply - but it got me started, which is what counts.

The color scheme feels a little weird to me, but I like it a lot, and I love her face so very much. Couldn't resist giving you a detail shot to look at.

its so strange - lately I seem to alternate between being totally proud of myself and confident in my skills and being totally crushed and feeling like a talentless impostor from one minute to the next without any ground in between. Might be the cold season getting to me. But, well, with this I'm firmly on the - I'm proud of myself - side.
Hope you like it too.

I like it - especially the hair and the eyes :-)

I do miss RPGs - it has definitely been far too long for me (about a decade). I can't fathom ever getting rid of my gaming dice.....

Gorgeous!! I am absolutely in love with this woman's face. Everything about it is really beautiful. I find the combination of her eyes, this particularly bulb-y nose, and her pouty lips to be really intriguing. It's one of those faces you can stare at for hours. And I'm digging the color palette. I think you should definitely use it again in the future.

I put it up as my own wallpaper .. hows that for vanity? maybe I'll upload the wallpaper version too..

The eyes really haunt me myself .. and I just have a think for characters that look a little lost and frail without being pathetic. I guess thats one of the reasons I got into all the slash stories like that .. the .. character type is a lot more prominent than in other stories..
I don#t know if I'll use exactly that colorscheme again, but maybe I'll experiment some more with weird combinations..

She's terrific. Love the hair, and her wary expression, and the suggestion of buildings in the background through the haze. Another great picture.

for the background I followed the step by step that said the other artist tends to use backgrounds that didn't quite work out and blurred them as a background for a new picture .. I have to say I like the effect a lot, might need to do more backgrounds .. hehe

Wow. She is gorgeous. I love her face. It's so haunted.

And I haven't forgotten to send you your book, just haven't been able to afford international postage yet. You will get it before the year is out, I promise.
