My new character Bellona has finally made her debut appearance! She's a bad ass killing machine and makes her living by hunting the scum that roam the streets at night. She seduces them to get close and then kills them. Obviously she has become cynical in her life and is somewhat of a loner out of necessity, but will she eventually find the guy that can hold his own and maybe even save her life for once?

Painted in Adobe Photoshop CS4
The frame isn't mine, it's from Anile
UmbraDeNoapte provided the background picture that I painted.
And last but certainly not least the lovely model I based the painting on is Twigg
All photos were stock photos that were used with permission. The girl is the only thing I painted myself, everything else was just manipulated in photoshop.
I am quite proud with how she turned out though. I've never been able to paint something so realistic before. *squeal* And I've never attempted dreadlocks before, those were a pain in the arse for sure! But I love her face! *dances around*
C+C is appreciated, or just chat with me, I don't care lol

now i wish i could do THAT.. -_- i can do buildings.. very good buildings.. and babies.. i think..not sure its been a while since I've drawen anything.

Thanks :D It's not as hard as it looks really, but hey, everyone has their specialties, I can't do buildings or babies lol

Babys are easy though their not all the way formed 'blinks' and buildings are just straight lines.. my favorite are pyramids

Nice work..

That is awsome I wish I could do art like that

Thanks guys :D
And yes buildings may only be straight lines but I could never get the view right, where its gets smaller the farther away it is, like a street with buildings on either side and whatnot, and its because babies aren't fully formed that I cant do them lol, I'm best with teenage/adult females.

*raises eyebrow* No offence, but I could draw buildings going down the road. As if your looking down the road I meant.

:P Do you want a cookie?
Brat lol

Wow, great >w<
I love it, and how realistic it is though you can see that it's made at the com. I like it that way... then you can see that it's not just a photo ^^
I want to make things like that *watching my com-pen drawing the lines all messy and wrong*
I'm better at real paper though *looking disappointed down at the floor*

Your art is at the very least, brilliant.

this is insane , i loooved the hair , it looks so realistic *.*

Not to offend you, but this picture looks really familiar. Like how the girl is positioned along with the background.

If not, oh well, great job. :)

I love the color and shading in the pictrue.

Yes I do want a cookie. Please pass one over here cause there is nothing to eat over here. You missed it, I was trashed again. I was asking for you but no one would call you. Felt very sad...

Thanks everyone, your comments are wonderful and of course they make me feel all warm and fluffy inside lol
If it looks familiar to you, honeybaby, then maybe you've seen the stock photos on deviantart that I used for the background and frame and the girl I based the painting on? The links are of course in my first post.
*hands a cookie to shaw*

It's really really great!!!
It's just my opinion, but I think you could use some thinner lines on the hair of the front, near her head.... because her face seems really real, and the rest of her hair seems too, so i'm guessing that thinner lines would do teh trick to make it match with the rest. And the right eye could be a liiiiiiiittle darker on eh corner, but i'm not sure about this one.
But really, it's a great pic, congratz for the work!
