Description
This is a full, big screen image, please do Ros justice and take a look at her up close.
This, my 100th image, I gladly dedicate to my dear friend Valery (Godin). I had thought I would start the new Ishtar series at 100 but this wonderful wood elf compelled me to make her my 100. This is Val's beautiful character Rose, but in my world she goes by her by her Gaelic name, Ros. Whatever her name, she is an absolute delight to work with, Val does such a fantastic job with the skin tones of her characters and both Ros and her sister Dena hold such wonderful facial expressions. Here Ros graces us with a beguiling smile. Isn't she is just so enchanting?
I am taking my third level of certification in photoshop and believe me this image gave me plenty, and I mean tons, of opportunity to work with that program! Oh my indeed, I am glad that I love doing postwork, because this one gave me several evenings of practice!
I am going to stop saying that I don't do portraits because when I look at my gallery I have plenty of portraits. But I have just never been really happy with them; lighting has always been a struggle. But maybe I'm finally learning something, because it seems to have worked here if I do say so myself. So I am very pleased to make this my 100th image. To me it shows some progress in a genra that I have worked hard to improve on and that is always worth a bit of celebration :-)
I want to sincerely thank everyone who has ever commented on one of my images, for all the favs and for all the kind words of support both in the gallery and in private site mails. You have all helped to give me faith in myself and many of you have stood by me in hard times. I have learned so much from being here and I love you all. It is a great community; we must cherish it for what it is. It is not perfect but it is the best that we have.
Blessed be
Roxy

Congratulations on your 100th image! It has been a pleasure following along in your gallery, observing your progression as an artist and storyteller (and even learning a few things along the way). This image is a fitting cap to your work so far, because it has so many interesting features that demonstrate your evolution as an artist. The more I look at this image, the more I see! Looking forward to following your evolution as you go for #200! BTW, I love the added detail on the face. The Tuatha de Danaan did paint their faces, albeit not quite so exquisitely.
