My entry for the :iconthe-black-mirage: contest.

I chose Wolfsbane as the character I would draw because of the colors (among other things <_< shifty eyes >_>). I love the purples pinks and reds so I wanted to play with that while offsetting the warm colors with a lot of greens and blues.

Since she likes dogs I added a dog statue and a dog in the stained glass window. This one was a lot of fun to work on.

Here's the walkthrough for how I did this one:

Update: I have fixed the knee and did some general touch ups. Worked on the colors and textures too.

All textures from my own photography.

This is a perfect example of rule of thirds and how it gives the image more tension.

Thanks for the feedback, it's just what I need. The rule of thirds will be something I'm much more conscious of.

Wonderful colours!! So very pretty! I really like the magic effect coming from the wolf in the window!

Thank you! The magic fog stuff was a last minute addition too, I never even planned to have the piece extend up far enough to see the window. Glad you like it! That makes it worth the effort.

No problem! Little details like that (and the plants and the open drawer etc) always bring pictures to life, I feel. Your effort was not wasted! C=

Awesome, glad to hear you think so. I feel the same way, little details can be the difference between good and great. I'll definitely be putting more effort into that in the future.
