Portrait of a Digital Drow

Okay...I re-submitted it because I was told it was doing that weird 'only half showing' thing...

Amd I can't remember what I said. Hmmm. Well, this is my first ever digital painting - I only installed my new digital pen yesterday, so lots of errors, but I had lots of fun! Corel Painter was surprisingly good fun to work with, too! It took me ages, but that did include a lot of 'what is this? Why did ot do that? Whats that for? How do I do that?' playing around...didn;t bother with all that mask/layer/promote bollocks, just used the airbrush and painted as if it was a traditional piece - I know that defeats the object, but baby-steps! I'm a noob to all this!

Now I need to figure out how to do backgrounds and how to get hair to look like hair and not silly string...

Ebony is my drow-muse

Edit: Heh heh...you lot are going to get so fed up of me...this is like an itch I just keep having to scratch!
Her lips were really bugging me, so I have attempted to re-shape them a bit, and tried to make her pupils the same size ( She looked like she had concussion!!) ... also worked a bit more on her neck - it looked a bit scrawny in the thumbnail. In fact, for some reason, the whole thing looks much better on a full view...
