Description
This image began as a sketch and was intended to remain a sketch, but it ran away from me, insisting on going the whole nine yards. Thus, here it is. Hope you enjoy it. :)
Only 3-4 hours and essentially three layers (used more'n three, but it boils down to three): sketch, background color, duca color. Paint Shop Pro and Deep Paint.
Several sketches and details about the duca are available in the 2D Graphics forum thread linked here. I'm planning another duca image to be done before the end of the year for the December Theme: Fantastic Creatures.

Wonderful image! I love the colors! There is such an amazing texture to the whole image, very soft, tey kinda windy. Even the lighting, all creates a mood that is very peaceful. And that expression on the Ducas face, has captured that intangible essence of life. Excellent work!
