These Warriors of Winter are for my Mom who had her 77th birthday today. On Saturday she underwent a major surgery, but she has survived and is in pretty good spirits all things considered. She has always had a strong spirit and resilience and so I created this "Winter's Warriors" as a gift for her because I realize that though she is a warrior she is also now in the winter of her life.
This is also for Val and PDesign for their lovely Tessa character whose pale skin tones really perfectly grace this image. I shot her with a ray traced cold blue light as my main light, a white fill from behind and a pale tan front fill to give an overall cool look which suited Tessa's skin. I then deepened her skin tones a bit and sharpened up the image by using two of AdamWright's Dynamic Mood Actions in CS4, fantasy at 50% over top of sharpen at 100%. Hope you like it.
Hugs to you for creating such a wonderful character; I truly love her pale look, it is so different from most characters I work with.

Mom's are the greatest. Tell her congrats on hitting 75. If you guys don't zoom in on this, you're missing out. I love the soft glowing skin on the girl. The lighting on the cowl realy makes it look 3D. Excellent as usual.
