First impressions are very important. ;)

I've invested more time in this picture than probably any other picture that I've ever worked on. I really wanted to push my digital painting skills this time, and I'm really happy with the way this picture turned out.

It's based on the fairy tale The Frog Prince. I wanted it to look like a traditional fairy tale picture, but with a bit of humor in it as well. I took my own reference photos for the princess - I actually dressed up and set the timer on my camera and posed, since no one else was around at the moment I got the idea for this picture. I painted it all in Photoshop with my tablet. It took countless hours to get this picture to a point where I was happy with it, but it was all worth it. ;) This was completed in March of 2007.

Prints are now available!

Amazing work with the fabric. Wow! Great job injecting humor, too. It's a nice contrast with the soothing, traditional background.

I love this work! The colouring is amazing!!

I love how you worked the blue around the piece (the sky, then her eyes, then the ring, then the sky again). My art teacher would probably make our class analyze this, that's how good it is both technically and compositionally. ;)

The colors are amazing... well, everything here is. I'm kind of speechless! :wow: :+fav:
