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!!!

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)
