Description

Finally!! I finished this painting! :o) My first 100 % hand painted illustration. No filters, no adjustements, no pre-made bg with brushes... Just matte painting and lot of patience! :o) I use poser JUST for anatomical references. I think that I am turning into 2D digital painting more than anything else. I really love this way much more. Print Available: http://www.deviantart.com/print/555037/ Click on the image. The original is so much bigger! (but it isn't the original) You can view some details here: DETAILS Tech info: Photoshop CS 2, Wacom Intuos 3

I want to thank you all for all your warm comments since I begun to post here. You are incredibles! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :o) Thanks for taking the time to look, comments are very much appreciated. Enjoy!!!

PS: Alfheim ("elf home"), in Norse mythology, is one of the nine worlds. It is located on the highest level of the Norse universe. Also found on this level are the worlds of Asgard and Vanaheim. Alfheim is the palace of the god Freyr and the homeland of the elves of light. (source: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/alfheim.html)
