Elven Lady

A fun bust for hand-painting practice! Most of the painting was done in 3DCoat. I started with a basic sculpt in Zbrush to provide a lighting base for the texture.

Textures include one diffuse map with alpha and one emissive texture for the glowing parts.

The reference is by Helena Nikulina. I like to do smaller projects like this to take a closer look at how other artists work and use things like color.
