Shadow by the Sea

I started sketching this piece yesterday. I drew my inspiration mainly from old Gothic novel covers, but I am putting a fantasy spin on it. The elf is a one of the characters I created in the past once - a high elf lady of Ilaruan. I have to check if that name is not in use somewhere else, since it's a name I used back in the 90's for RPG sessions.

Painting the face

A quick update on the art. Not near completion yet, but the face got definition and the skin tone is where I like it to be. I am using Krita for this piece. It's a new software for me since I've being using Photoshop for a long time, and I'm still getting the hang of it. This time I really want it to be close to the artworks that inspired it, which means making the brush textures stand out.

Update. I am pleased with the face. Time to work on the background.

The background is coming together. Will work on it before getting back and finishing the elf lady. =)
