98% Done! 99% Done ! 99.99% DONE!
EDIT: UPDATED!! 99.99% DONE!
Okay! I've been all creative today. And I have made many differences today. Whee.
Here's the fun comparison shots:
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Mostly, I like it. There are still some things I'm not sure about, and I won't say that I'm 100% done. But, I've got to let it sit for a bit--I'm at that point where most of what I'm doing is doing more HARM than good. So!
NEW-er:
You'll notice I changed my mind about the chalky skin. I just didn't like the way it was looking the more I looked at it--it gave her a weirdly unfinished look. So, I switched to the airbrush and tried to get the shadows more accurate. I'm still not sure I'm completely finished at this point, but if I went in for additional work, it would just be minor changes, rather than another overhaul. I also wanted to get her skin a bit more purple, to better set her apart from the pinkish clouds. I also went in and made sure that she was detailed better (hat/necklace/etc). I also realized when I was looking at it the other day that I had her hair blowing in a sort of wind....and nothing else. XD So, I added in a floating ribbon to be more consistent, since I wasn't going to go in and destroy the hair. Hahaha.
FINAL?:
Fixed the issue with the face, and the arm a bit. Also, discovered upon close inspection a bit of gray got onto the boot near the pole that wasn't supposed to be there. Also, fixed a bit of blue that was on the thigh that shouldn't have been there. Added in shadows on neck scarf that didn't look quite right. Took out the turquoise that was in the pink bow that didn't quite work. Yup.
This is the deviantART link, where you can see the entire file when you click on the image and you can see a lot of the awesome details. =D
AND be sure to see it. You really can't get the full impact of the piece without seeing what it really should look like! =D
Yay! Sara, let me know how you like it, and if you want something changed desperately.
Criticism would be awesome. =D
