Riven - commission

A commission from Sosiqui of her Fae character Riven. Damn the .jpg really fucks with the resolution on the face. That or my scanner did. I swear that the piece doesn't look that grainy in person. Any suggestions on electronic publishing to fix that?

....it took me forever to workout the line art on it to my satisfaction. Of course a luck would have it, my RAID volume degraded and I lost the digital format of it (RAID 0 ftl ).

At the time I was so infuriated with my computer that I couldn't conceive of touching it for any sort of artistic endeavor, and what was supposed to be a digital render-cell (my normal colouring style....i'm not sure what to call it so that is what I call it) ended up being done traditionally witha mix of Yarkha Watercolours and my spanking new Copic markers (woot, I own 15).

Anywho, she seemed pleased and not to mind that it wasn't digitally painted. I'm most pleased with the tail. In his descriptions it's noted to be misty, but in nearly all the other commissions I've seen of the character the edges of it are hard line....so I wanted to make something more accurate in that aspect for her.

Fae belong to Anya (don't know her real name)
Riven belongs to Sosiqui (don't know her real name)
Art is mine.
