Many, many years ago ( wink ) I wanted to do some art for Sapphi of one of her characters. I started it, but I was a bit over-ambitious and my computer couldn't handle it, so I put it aside until I got an upgrade. Finally, on my birthday this year I got an upgrade, but even running dual-core, it sucked up all the resources. So I've decided to start over and simplify it a bit. For one thing I'm removing most of the background and replacing it with clouds. And I think it will be less detailed over-all than my other paintings, but hopefully won't lose anything by that. Here's the new start, resketched over the old sketch and new base colors applied. Let me know if the background looks okay. The blue will all be sky, but does it make sense that there's a drop so near the edge of the water? I wanted to keep *some* background, as her pose doesn't suit her hovering in the air, and I don't want to redraw it. smile

Oooh, that's pretty. Are the wings gonna stay colored like that (roughly, I mean)?

Thanks. Yeah, I believe they're supposed to be parrot-like colors. :)

Thanks. I'm really glad you like it! :) I'll probably be working on it more this weekend. I took a little break to work through some tutorials.
And I forgot to mention that I love the artwork in your sig!

I did more work on the wings. I haven't been as successful as I'd hoped.
