Description
Also called "Tharin and Claei." This portrait is one of three commissioned by Narina, who is writing a fantasy book.
I started with a colored pencil drawing, which I scanned and moved into Painter 5. I worked from there with custom brushes: a custom blending brush and custom variation of the felt pen (both of which were developed by Don Seegmiller). I really didn't keep much of the original drawing, because it had a lot of things I didn't like about it. What do you think?? :)
