This is my entry for the scenic competition \o/ 
so after i made my vectored xxxholic wall i decided i wanted to challenge myself by making a painted wall. i found this scan here__THISRES__170647.jpg)
and got the idea to have her in a castle bedroom
i vectored some line art but all the shading on etna was done either with a hard brush or the air brush. the wall behind her is painted..i used a stock from xchange i found of a stone wall and used it to paint over the lines.. from there i put it in corel and used several brushes effects and colours to make the stones.
i used a hard brush to draw the shadows on the bed and pillows. the shadows on the bed i painted from the original then as i was painting them i extended them and put them where i thought they should go. the curtains and pillows were drawn from scratch and were fun to make and took some playing but i got it \o/ i used the airbrush to paint the highlights and such on them and the candelabra..
the candelabra was probably one the best items to paint i really had fun figuring out where the reflections and light should hit the different curves...learning how to paint with the airbrush while working on etna was the hardest...i had to redo it so many times >.< .. a few times i thought of just leaving it and maybe working on another wall for the competition but i really liked the idea for this wall and really wanted to see if finished!
overall i think this is probably my best wall yet and i'm really happy with what i've learned ^_^
i want to thank everyone i talk to on msn that has listened to me complain and whine about this wall and a big thank you to bernouli who was patient and answered my questions about how to get the right effects with the airbrush o/
**note: a another size will be available in a few days when i have access to the psd o/ **
