@Aero maybe, but i like this one better

and i think for blond hair it would be better to have lighter background, something like soft pink (pearls!! squeeeee ^^). And i fixed her face.

@Tommy yes, im not going to add any more red there, it wouldn't go well with all of the surrounding greens. Im just going to blend it a bit, it looks ok right now, but i prefer not to have many visible strokes, especially on her face

and wip (i call this one "5vs120 minutes of work D: " )

Wow Magik your artwork is stunning! Good job with those hands and love the emotion in the face.

Yay for your new series

But who's going to do our hunk series now D:

Looking forward to Sapphire!

@Thistle; Women > Men.

Eastern Magik · May 26, 2011, 06:21 PM // 18:21

@BlackXI thank you, glad you like it :3

@Thistle um, well, khmm... i never said i'll do the whole hunk series

Morag D · May 27, 2011, 09:40 AM // 09:40

that one will be amazing. not that the other ones aren't. I just have a particularly good feeling about this

LOVE the greens, the hair, her expression...

Spoiler alert in your Avatar picture.

EDIT: Oh no nevermind, I'm so dumb.

Eastern Magik · May 30, 2011, 04:34 PM // 16:34

@Morag D ty sweety ^_^

@IH umm, what? :3

Deep Green - Emerald <----------- finished version. Sorry for no wips, i've been really busy and tried to focus my free time only on painting.

InfestedHydralisk · May 30, 2011, 05:42 PM // 17:42

I meant the face, but I forgot you showed the face already on a previous page.

And again a great job, I really enjoy this series.

BlackXI · May 30, 2011, 06:07 PM // 18:07

Eastern Magik very lovely emerald painting! The hands look like a pain to do! Wow I can not wait to see what is next, maybe... Garnet :P

Morag D · May 30, 2011, 07:30 PM // 19:30

ha. I was right

it's your best so far

Aeronwen · May 30, 2011, 08:41 PM // 20:41

woot the hair is wonderful, and I love the dress you can almost feel it.

Awesome as ever

Eastern Magik · May 31, 2011, 05:03 PM // 17:03

@IH oh

thanks <3

@BlackXI thank you. Ummm, to see garnet go here

@Morag D haha

thanks <3

@Aero thank you *hug*

As for the next artwork, im going to take just a little break from birthstone series and paint something else (no, not the hunk, sorry girls :P ). Its going to be yet another girl, just this time i'll paint her without a sketch (like i did with hands on the emerald picture). I'll try to post more wips this time, since you guys always have helpful tips which contribute a lot to my improving *hug*

Drelias Melaku · Jun 01, 2011, 02:14 AM // 02:14

I think that's my favorite face so far. She's beautiful.

Ravenhawk · Jun 01, 2011, 01:47 PM // 13:47

Emerald looks stunning. I agree, it's your best so far!

Eastern Magik · Jun 01, 2011, 06:24 PM // 18:24

@Drelias & Mina ty

everyone is keep telling me that this is my best painting so far, and who am i to disagree

jokes on the side, i just hope i don't mess something up on the next one...

Speaking of which, here are 2 wips of the new painting. Its still a bit messy, but you get the idea. I find it easy to paint like this...

ROFL!!

I can't imagine painting without a sketch first :O I'm really looking forward to seeing how it comes out and what your final thoughts of initial sketch vs no initial sketch are

Guy Incognito · Jun 03, 2011, 10:39 PM // 22:39

Whoa that emerald piece is stunning! O.o

New one looks to be shaping up nicely too.

Eastern Magik · Jun 12, 2011, 02:38 PM // 14:38

@Thistle ah, its a big difference, but it doesn't really matter if the final result is the same

@Guy Incognito ty :3

Updates. Well, the picture above is not finished, and its not going to be finished cuz i spent a lot of time on it and then .psd file decided to drop dead >_<

This is the last wip i have saved:

After that, i've fixed her face and started to work on her hands, but....

And i was still in the mood to paint something without a sketch, and this speed painting (1h and 30-40 minutes maybe) came to life:

Its not finished, but Im not going to work on it anymore.

And finally, something which is actually finished XD

Fly (i can sit and paint for a long time, but i can't think of a good title wtf? :\ ) can be seen here

Thats about it for the break from birthstones, next artwork will be 100% gemstone related
