Round 14 - Chalcedony
Round 14 - Chalcedony by @Birdie (Skyri Selvaen)

Round 14 exchange for Chalcedony. Her beautiful Sorceress of Time, Chalcedony.

Completely created in Photoshop, took me about a week (working over 6 hours a day on it. 14 layers for the character and 8 for the hourglass which I created separately... fun, fun...

And yes, I'm aware she may look a little like a certain buxom Baywatch gal, but I assure you it's coincidental as I didn't use any references for this... except, of course, Chalcedony's art.

Hope you like, Chalcedony!

This is just awesome : D The lighting is so amazing, and the details... just... wow. I LOVE her hair, and, well, everything. ^_^ The light coming from her hand is very well done, and the lighting on her clothes and body is great.
For the sake of critique, I think her neck is a little too muscular compared to the rest of her, but that's just about everything I can think of.
Did I mention her eyes are amazing? :D

Great job on this!

HOLEE MOLEE. O_____O Explodes and needs to be pieced back X__X This must be my lucky week because I keep finding more and more incredible artists... ^.^ and you my dear are most definitely one of them! :D This image is absolutely amazing, and that you created it all in Photoshop boggles my Photoshop-challenged mind...! ^.^ The colouring is fantastic, and the metallic, golden glow that is spread throughout the image gives it a very warm, precious quality. I'm so in love with the lighting effects and the shininess; I love all the highlights and bright flares, and it's so awesome how Chalcedony's hair is silver (usually a cool colour) and yet you've given it a fiery quality to match the rest of the piece. :D The background is also a very nice touch to match the character's powers, and everything about the image works so well... beautifully drawn, even more beautifully coloured... and bah, I'm running out of words. If this was on Deviantart, I'd fav this in an instant. ;) Amazing stuff, put as simply as possible! :D Continues to stare O___O
