Artist Serena's Art - Update 4/12 - How to Train Your Dragon digital arts and digital art Self-portrait

You have phenomenal talent, these pictures are outstanding. Amazing work.

 

Darth_Noctis: Thank you so much!


OK, I've finished the Neytiri piece, but before that, I'd like to show you guys a sketch I did today. It's based on a fic I'm writing. I posted the first chapter here, but I've really only added chapters on FF.net. It's called "Brown Eyes", and it's a VERY AU Vader/Padme. If you'd like to read, here's the link: Brown Eyes

love the avatar Neytiri and Padmé and Darth Vader

 

I like "A breath away".

The sweetness of it, the love...

 

I finally got to see Avatar last week. Your work on Neytiri, plus Anakin & Padmé is astonishing to say the least.

 

Wow wow wow wow wow!

Your work is awesome!!! I especially love the way you draw Anakin/Padme' and Han/Leia. The cartoonish ones are really cool, too. The one with Obi-Wan and Asajj just about killed me! (I hope you were the one who did that one...I've been trying to catch up and post comments)

 

Wow, some beautiful work there, I especially like the atmosphere in the Neytiri portrait, you captured her features beautifully
The Padme/Vader piece is wonderful, really touching.

 

Thank you guys so much! I'm so thrilled you liked the last two piccys. To Cara_Undercover_Jedi: Yes, I did do the Asajj/Obi-Wan drawing (and fic). You guys are the best!!

I don't know what happened here, but I've been trying to get a good skin tone and texture for a while, and all of a sudden I was experimenting with Photoshop and it came out pretty well for a first digital portrait, I thought. I was working from a photo reference.

Here's Emmy Rossum:

lovely picture and great colours

 

The lighting on that piece is fabulous, and I love the expression that you captured on her face.

 

Wow, Serena, just looked through all your artwork and it's just fabulous! My very favorites would have to be the two drawings of Han and Leia. You've got some amazing talent- keep up the great work!!

 

Beautiful work! I love how you captured the tone and lighting.

I also enjoy your artworks based on Avatar. Just gorgeous.

 

Earlybird: Thank you!

Mac: Thanks so much!

Dancing_star: Thank you! I love Han and Leia - I had so much fun with those drawings.

Steph: Thank you! I'm working in digital media pretty much all the time now... occasionally I'll do a few sketches in my notebook, but I'm really trying to use digital media more.

Corellian_Outrider: Did I ever say how much I love your penname? And thank you so much!

OK, here's a portrait of Natalie that I just finished. I saw the photo and was like - OK, I am SO painting that. [face_grin]

Let me know what you think!

And she is lifelike and stunning

 

She definitely looks striking! The monochrome and the contrast really heightens her features. There is something about her eyes that captures your attention.

Thank you too . I didn't know you love my penname. It has a dual meaning for me: It is like a scout or ranger and the other is of a ship.

 

You have a fantastic stlye.

 

Hey, guys! Wow, it's been a while. I'm really busy with college, but for my graphic art class, I've been doing a few different things.

I don't know if any of you have seen "How to Train Your Dragon", but I HIGHLY recommend it if you haven't. It's so adorable! So, I have a couple pieces done in PS from that, then a PS and Painter sketch of yours truly.

Hope everyone's doing well! I need to catch up with everyone, here...

Nice new works and your self portrait is beautiful.

Dragons? Doing dragons too and I have seen more dragons here.

 

Awwww! I love that movie. You making me want to see it again. Toothless looks wonderful. Love the pose, emotion and lighting coming through on the two of them.

I also love your self portrait, I think it turned out beautifully.

 

D'aaaawwwwww. I loved the how to train your dragon ones! The movie was spectacular!

I really like your work a lot. Keep it up!

 

"Yours Truly" is so dream like, making me think about certain DESPERATE ROMANTICS (= a BBC six-part drama following the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood).

The most funny is "How to train your human", a question that every cat has at least one time per day.

 

Very nice! Love the self portrait!
