Description

We're upon a realm called Hektaline. It's a small land covered by plains, woods and mountains. Surrounded by other similar realms, it's part of the allied steps, achievement of Prince Jard - the Well-loved.
In all this part of the world, small Kings would make war, would battle for small goods or incredible richess, for new lands or just for honor, despite the new order of peace imposed by the Prince.
Following a revolution lead by some rebels groups against the power of fanatic mages, this Lady came and promise to raise this kingdom. She was one of the leaders of the rebels. Now, choosen by a dragon, as a renown member of her caste - the main structure all around this world - she govern this land on top of Mount Ho, place of the castle.
Above all, Dragons rules, they teach, they guide, they play with humanity. In Hektaline, this Lady is the representative of Dragon's will.
The two moons are part of two Gods : the blue one is the Eye of Khy and is called Khymera, the dark one is the Heart of Kalimsshar - Herald of the Time.

-------------------------------------

Inspired from a character played by one of my players on a pen and paper role playing game.

This work was a first try, and trial, for me. About twenty hours of difficulties in order to render one of my favorite pencil sketches.
Done with Adobe Photoshop.

It was made in three step.
First I colorized my sketch.
The resolution was low because of the size of my pen (or more precisely the small size of my sketch ). Everything was okay for me, and better than everything I ever done. But I was expecting more...
Second, I removed all handed work in order to replace it only with digital brush. The result was for me something very good. Adding some shadows, increasing the resolution, more lights, details...
Then, I paint a background.

Because i'm a begginer and have not many time to train myself, I know there's many mistakes and poor things here.
But I hope you will be able to give me some help, tutorials. Then, perhaps, I'll be able to rise another level of quality soon.
What I want to do now is to find a way to remove the "drawing" style of all this, and the blur aspect too. But I don't know how to begin.

I haven't posted a new picture here for a while. I hope this one can have a place here.

Can't help much with technique but I like the composition very much.
I like the outcrop, the line of the mountains, and especially the movement of the water running off to the right. I'd have expected the floating crown (if that's what it is), to be facing the other way, ie the way she's looking. And I personally don't like to see text in an image - but that's just a thing that bugs me :)
It might be worth posting a little smaller (say max 800 high) so that the image doesn't have to be scrolled to view it all.
Sure you'll get some expert critique from the other members - hope you enjoy yourself here
