Description
Inspired by the forbidden love between Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot of the King Arthur myths, I first created a version of this artwork in early 2009. I then improved it in 2010. Well, now I've recreated and improved it again. All the details like expressions, the falling hair, her sleeves, etc. were altered for the better. I improved the lighting by using a combination of IDL and traditional lights. Very little post-work was needed to give it the final look; just a couple overlays and my tricks to give it a slightly smoother, painted feel.
I won't be doing this artwork ever again because I think I've got it perfect now. :) Now to render it in the right dimensions so I can print a poster...

Very Excellent
A stunningly beautiful render, Lizzie! It brings to mind one of the songs from Camelot... "If ever I would leave you It wouldn't be in summer. Seeing you in summer I never would go. Your hair streaked with sun-light, Your lips red as flame, Your face witha lustre that puts gold to shame!" Excellent work!
Excellent Render.
