Artist's Comments

Asmira has amassed a large following through sheer force of personality and ‘womanly charms’. She is coldly charming, oddly pleasant, and has a narcissistic vanity; she is undeniably attractive in a dangerous sort of way.

Asmira is a lovely woman, and she knows it. She has luxurious raven-black hair that cascades down her back, and frames a flawless face. Her bright aqua-coloured eyes glitter with intelligence, and are capable of taking the measure of any man they come in contact with. Though none would call her buxom, she tends to wear accessories that do accentuate her natural curves.

-- An excerpt from her profile, from the creative mind of *Forsaken2544.

<========================================={}--------

And with that said, here’s my first art (and commission!) for ’08!

The .psd file of this is over 100mb. Definitely one of my largest projects to date, and easily one of the most enjoyable I’ve worked on. Sadly, the same can not be said for the considerable lag I had to put up with, while drawing at a scale of 1200x1800. (I really do need to get a new computer-- this rubber one is crap! XD) But I’m thinking it was well worth it. Asmira’s character was inspiring to draw, and was a pleasure to do a portrait of.

Congrats on the commission! It came out wonderfully. :)
:iconeruditebastich:
Damn, that's sweet. Very alluring, something about it drew me in immediately, and that doesn't happen often. Nice job on this one :nod:

:ahoy:

You know I love this, right? You have done such a wonderful job that I am positively floored with her. You are currently responsible for my favorite incarnation of Asmira. You have such a talent with the female form. And this is further proof.

The circlet is gorgeos, and I can't imagine how delicate such a piece of jewelry would be in real life. It would be priceless beyond measure. And, I see you did go with the necklace. I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but you pulled it off nicely. Bravo! :clap:

I hope to see much more of your work in the not-too-distant future.

You do lips?

This is a first I have ever seen lips in a detailed manor from you. They seem nearly photo realistic, and they dip in and out with that realism, which often for me mesmerizes me.

Over all though I think this is the closest close up of a face I have seen from you, and so delicately and finely detailed.

The eyes are not vivid, or vibrant. They provide this contrast thats like tasting a candy with a light creme center. The color is like you take blue silk and shine a blue light behind it, its that difference from piecing to penetrating, but hers are illuminating.

Certainly you have captured her facial flow as well the description and I cant add to it by no other on how realistic photo wise it is.

I like the two tone streak highlights you added as well, it lends to her "womanly charms" as mentioned.

Certainly though I am sure this gave you a excellent experience forming her physical attributes as described.

Nice straps too!

New computers... you and me both. I've actually had to actively minimise the number of layers I use simply to keep the lag down to manageable levels :roll: Doesn't help that I like to draw at high resolutions as well.

Sweet looking pic mate, her gaze is very intense isn't it? The only thing I'd comment on ('cause there's only so many "good"s and "great"s you can use without sounding a nonce) is her necklace. Something about the way it's falling doesn't seem quite right... like the pendant's glued to her chest or has no weight.

Great stuff (see? there I go) all the same mate :D

Very nice! You are a great artist! Keep up the great work. You should take a peek at some of my stuff some time.
:iconmorgalahan:
You just keep getting better and better and better and better and better and better....

I just thought of another tutorial that you need to do, jewelry! :D

I love the sattin of her dress, it make me want to feel it, like it would flow through my fingers.

The eyes are gorgeous! I thought that it was a photo manipulation when I saw the preview, it looks that good.
:iconfcneko:
Incredible. Everything about the description captured in an alluring pose. DEFINITELY fits the description.

Absolutely incredible.

:+fav:!!
:iconferrilonver:
looks almost like 3d, very photorealistic :clap: great work as usual ;)
