Is this a WIP (Work In Progress)?No.
Notes: This is my first attempt to paint something in both Painter 8 and Photoshop 8. It was a bit weird, trying to render in Painter, mainly because I'm not really used to it yet. I found that I could get the tonal and colour qualities that I was after, very rich, meaty colours, but to define and render precisely, I had to go into Photoshop to perfect it all. I am reasonably pleased, even if the pose is a bit strange, (I never drew the wand that was supposed to be in her dangling hand). It's really just a practice picture, learning the new media. :)

This is fabulous! I'm not a very good art critic because of ignorance, but I love this. I can really imagine Luna looking like this. Nice job.

Thank you :)

I admire anyone who treads into Painter. Painter hates me with a passion.

Great start with the program... and I love her butterbeer cork necklace. :)

It's a goregous piece (as always) but the eyes make it look more like a young Narcissa than a Luna.

Have you ever seen an episode of BBC's Coupling? Sarah Alexander plays Susan and has bug-eyes ala Luna in the book. That set of eyes (too big for her head) is always how I pictured Luna.

a rather overlarge picture of Susan and her huge eyes (as well as Jack Davenport, who plays 'Steve' on Coupling and was in PotC) can be found here.

Not that I have any idea how to do them in profile...

Can't offer much concrit, both out of ignorance and because i think it's perfect, as is. :-) I can definitely see Luna looking like that! The earrings and the necklace are wonderful touches!! :-)

Adorable! I wonder who's she looking at that way. *evil grin*
And I love the stone wall in the back!
