Quite a change from her past self...

Petria from The Phoenix Requiem [link]

Part of the series of calendar paintings.

Photoshop CS3, didn't keep track of the hours because I poked at it over two or three weeks.

I've read Phoenix Requiem start to finish.... but looking at this photo Petria reminds me of Kaylee from the tv series Firefly and the movie Serenity. :) If you don't know Firefly/Serenity I say you should DEFIANTLY look it up! It's well worth your time!!! ^-^

Petria is my favorite character of yours! I like how you got her personality in this scene, and it's so beautifully painted!

Adore this one. Just Petria's expression is enough, though one thing that has me completely marvelled is the folds and the texture of her shirt. So well done! :heart: And we need to see more of the good professor - no pressure :D

Same concern as in the picture of Jonas: not all edges need to be hard! Farther away the softer they should be, anyway. Our eyes don't see everything in hard edges so it would be more natural and pleasing to the eye if you soften things at greater distances.

Also remember, fabric is very soft so the edges should be also.

And her right wrist looks disjointed or perhaps it’s the angle of the cuff. I don't think you should see so much of the top as you have showing. You might not need to see the top at all.
