"The river is singing and the newborn fae is glancing at the new world"
Painted in Photoshop.
The idea was to create a realistic looking image, but still linked to an "illustrated" mood. I focused on the light reflections on the skin, but I decided to paint the background in a more stylized way.
All painted using the hard edge basic brush and a custom soft edge one.
I don't like the "cute looking" faeries, I wanted this one to look a false naive one, sensual and attractive.
