The Flame Witch

Description

"The Flame Witch" is probably not the most original title, but I just couldn't get it out of my head for this one. This is actually Lady Kaienna Imperiosa, a destro warlock and human noble for a World of Warcraft fanart commission. But while I was painting her, she really became The Flame Witch to me.

Once again I was inspired by the paintings of John Singer Sargent for that noble posture, the little gestures of the hand, and the overall quality of the paint, digital though it may be. I think I'm finally getting the knack for creating the kind of artwork I've been wanting to create for years. And being able to do so consistently without direct photo reference is like FREEEDOOMMMM!!! Whoo-hoo! There's SO much more to come, folks. ^_^

Feels good, man. Feels really good.

I really enjoy all the things you mention about this piece; the posture, the gesture, the "quality of paint". I love the colors, the soft feel to it all, and how the fabrics of her clothing really appears layered. :3
