A Pirate's Life For Me!
Finally I finished the pirate-girl!!!
I've been working on this for a long time..... but I just wanted it to look special and natural!
Again I used my 2-in-1-style which I still find really a great challenge and it seems it worked out pretty fine again.
I really loved working on this one and did some experiments with the colours, I wanted it all to match perfectly together and have put a lot of effort in it.
I don't know the girl, I know she is named "Kirsty Hume" and I found her on celebscentral.net, where I immediately fell in love with the photoshoot!

haha this is awesome! i love the shirt <3 i think the hair could use some more darker layers; it looks a little flat compared to the shirt. actually, if you used less depth on the shirt, the "flat-ness" would work really well. but it's still realyl cool, and i love the lace.. gosh that looks like it must've been hell :/

btw, what's your 2-in-1 style?

Hi Chloe!
Thanks a lot for your honest advice! I really appreciate that! :D
I should have done more with the depth, but I wanted to have differences in that, so I guess it's allright! ;)
And, well, I wouldn't call it hell, because I really enjoyed working on this, but yes, it took me a loooooong time to finish! :D
My 2-in-1-style is what I have been using lately. It means my older "symplicity and cartoonish" style combined with my newer "realistic" style, I think they match pretty good together.
Thanks again sweety!
:D

Reply from
Thanks so much! :D
The hair took me centuries to finish, so I'm really glad you like it!
:D

I always use Illustrator CS2 and sometimes I do the last finishing touch in Photoshop CS2!

this is so beautiful. i love the smoothness of her skin, the hair shading and her pose. it really shows that you spent time on it :)
Reply from
Thanks Sharice! I'm glad you like it! :D
The skin is so smooth because I used tons of layers!! (I didn't count them though...) While working on this I couldn't have other programs running because of the low ram-memory!
;)
Thanks again!
