I wasn't planning on doing more EQ art for a bit, but then I realized that I could use Tynami's sketch to experiment with a color palette I've been itching to use (it's a very elfquest-ish color palette, and not very suitable to the more realism-focused Jungle Fire).  So I snuck in some time here and there while working on other stuff.  No doubt it's my brain's backlash against the less bold colors of art markers.  :D

Kudos go to conceptart.org and their online color theory class.  Really blew my brain off in a good way.

As I mentioned before over at DA this is simply briliant I love the soft colors and the water still just blows me away every time I look at it.

This is SO beautiful, I love the way you did the water! :D The only thing I think I noticed is that if the water is that shallow it would have been more clear... ie, the sand would be showing through more. Other than that I think it's really lovely!

I agree 100%. :D  I got cold feet about rendering more than the few bits of sand/rock that I did, because I don't have much patience, and I was afraid I'd fark it up.

Oh I totally understand that one. Not wanting to add things because it would mess up all the beautiful work that you did in the first place!

I love these colors, they're so playful. And the cool shading coming from the water really merges well with her warmer colorscheme. Pretty. :D

I really love this illo.  The relaxed pose she has, and her apparent gazing up at a bird with the bird's reflection in the water is just a fun detail.  The coloration is great; everything is soft and almost pastel, but it works to invoke actually being at the beach.  The colors play off of each other very well without overpowering anything.

I could have sworn I commented on here about this one. Was probably on DA. I really adore this image! The way you have her is perfect! Her need for water with her need to see the sky... that is so her! I can't remember what her birds name is now... When I first saw this one it moved me beyond words. Again, thank you for such a wonder piece of artwork.
