The late Windrunner

Hey everyone, Vereesa Windrunner is finally finished!

I wanted to make sure everything was in place so I took my time to look at every bit of detail =D

Like mentioned it's a different type of image than what I'm used to do, but it's certainly one that I'll do more in the future. I really liked the concept and since on this image the focus point is at the bottom, but you usually start viewing at the top of the image, so I wanted to make sure there was enough detail there so the eyes could trail down to her.

I have to say I had a lot of fun with this one, and is surprisingly one of my favourite pin-ups of late lol.

So I hope you guys like it, and let me know what you think bellow!

thank you! So glad you like them =D

Lee

I just love your attention to details. Especially feet!

Mikoล‚aj Balasa

Thank you! I think it's interesting to keep those characters "in shape". They are mostly hunters, archers, extremelly active characters, constantly fighting. So I think it's only fair that it shows on their body =)

Lee

Thanks! So glad it conveyed the idea lol

Lee

This is awesome! I can't wait to see the other versions too. Like others have said, it looks awesome, giving that impression that you just caught her in an awkward moment. I love the obvious athleticism too. I always love all your elf characters. They're great looking and very vibrant.

Serban Zaha

great picture. The hurried look is a great touch you made^^

Sven M.

It was exactly my inspiration. I thought it would be a cool twist for the character. It's definitely a direction that I'll use more often, given it was very well received =)

Lee

So glad to hear that! Hopefully the voyeur version will meet your expectations =D

Lee

I know right! When I was posting it on my instagram using my phone, I saw the image and was like "hey, that's actually a nice lock screen" =D

Lee

5. It's not hard nor something you can ignore. One trick that I use to control (or fix) the lightning of the hair as a whole, is to group up the hair layers and then create a layer on top as mask of that group, set to overlay. Then I simply go a bit darker or lighter in some areas to fix volume, light sources and whatnot.

Lee

I have to say I'm really glad I've choosen this direction to go in this image. I think it gave her a LOT more personality to stand on her own. And you'll have a preview of the voyeur later today or tomorrow =D

Lee

This reminds me of those 1940's pin ups, and I love it! Really enjoy the "Oops, you caught me at an awkward moment" take. Those lips, and that stomach, Wowza!

Weatherman

Definitely one of your best works. I love her facial expression. It makes me feel that I have accidentally entered the wrong room. It's great how much your work has improved over the years. I am a writer and your drawings have often inspired me. Thanks for that! I'm looking forward to the Voyour version of her.

Sekiro

Definitely liking how this turned out. Turns out the pose works great as a background on my phone; on the lock screen she stretches down and away from the time and when unlocked her face happens to be as though she's looking at me through an empty icon space. And she has such a nice body; can't wait to see it in all it's glory!๐Ÿ˜‰

CDH

On a scale of 1-10 how much of a nightmare was to draw her white hair against white sheets and not let them blend together?

Peter

I already commented on your DA and FB posts so you already know my thoughts! Vereesa is now one of my newer favorite pieces you've done now. I can hardly wait to see what you came up with for her voyeur edition.. /boggle @.@

Tucker Mapes

thanks!

Lee

She's gorgeous.

Thank you! Glad the scenery got your attention for a few seconds at least!

Lee

Unfortunately they are not that curvy in wow =c I really dislike their "barbie" skinny body. I wish they had made it more "fit" or at least added some meat on them lol

Lee

Stunning my friend just absolutely beautiful! Once again you hit a dead center bulls eye with your art! Tbh I almost got lost in how beautiful and detailed the scenery was (notice I said almost.lol), but as always the lovely lady in the middle won out. XD

Draven Shadow

You make me wanna play wow.

Will

thank you =D

Lee

Thanks! One thing that really annoys me is the fact that skin hair and texture are basically lost in the "default resolution", so only the HD version can show it. There was a lot of hard areas in this drawing. On her, definitely the breast was the hardest. It's surprisingly hard to draw breast with the weight on the top part, and even harder to find good references on a similar angle for the chest lol. Another was to convey the idea that she was pulling her stomach inside to try to pull the pants, and is in that middle of shock + releasing the air when she got caught. Also getting the "blush" on her cheeks to the correct "intensity" . And I don't need to say the shoulder/neck area in that angle and twist was something of nightmares to do lol . As for the scenario, the background was definitely the hardest part. It's not my first time doing bed sheet, and with good references is easy enough to figure out folds and how it gets pushed by the weight of the body. Fun fact I actually had planned to make the bed wider, but couldn't figure out a way to make her "elf ear" squized between the head and the bed, so I made her head more in the edge of the bed and the hair falling down =D As for the background in the window, I spent a good 3-4h on it. I didn't want it to look like it was just thrown there, so I took my time in detailing it. And it's been quite a long time since I did a background that run to the horizon, with hills and tiny trees fading to the distance. And one thing that I'm really proud that I nailed was her skin tone. I wanted it to match the white hair, so I went for something more "pinky", and I'm glad it really looked good with the rest of the image =D

Lee

Beautiful.

I have to say I never thought Vereesa would be my favourite of the 3 windrunner drawings lol

Lee

I have a few combinations in mind =D

Lee

I often draw 2 versions of the breasts. I draw the nsfw 1st and then I duplicate a few areas that will be changed by the interaction with bra, clothing and such. In this case, the bra just "pushes the breasts a little more". Without it, they are slightly more flat to the chest, since she doesn't exactly have big boobs =D

Lee

Wow... There is so much detail here that I scarcely know where to begin! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ And the colours here are simply gorgeous, complimented beautifully by the lighting. And the background is stunning too, I love seeing out of the window and seeing such a vibrant, vivid, lush landscape with incredibly intricately painted forestry and architecture. The fact that those buildings have engravings running throughout them is such an insane attention to detail. All of the textures in the environment, both inside and outside of the room look amazing too, like the back wall of the room surrounding the window with the little cracks running through the corners of the stone. And I adore those little floating particles beneath the window being illuminated by the sunlight. The rippling curtains on each side of the window look gorgeous too with such striking light and shadow running through the material, perfectly defining the flowing drapery, I particularly like the strong orange glow running down the left curtain. The bow leaning against the window is also absolutely ridiculous in just how perfectly painted and defined it is. The grooves that run through it, separating the metal plates, adding patterns to it, while also conforming to the overall curving shapes of the bow, with that subtle metallic shine running through it all... All of it is just nuts! I applaud you for putting such effort into something that isn't even the main focus of the image ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ And lastly, the folds of the bedsheets and green cloth as they ripple, overlap, get imprinted by Vereesa's foot and arm, as well as hanging over the edge of the bed look amazing too, with the lighting across the bed once again looking so striking. Vereesa herself is absolutely staggering in how amazing she looks! I have to say that I adore her expression, the little look of surprise with her lips parted and eyes opened wide is just too precious and cute ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป. As for the rendering, I actually love her trousers! The textures are terrific while I love how the material is tinted a warm colour from the sun shining on it, the folds running through the legs are so well done. I particularly like the heavy folds at her bending knee and above her ankle, with the rim-lights running along both really contrasting beautifully with the shadows. And the way the material above her panties peels up where her hand pulls it, with the laces crossing between the pelvis of the pants looks fantastic too. The textures of her underwear, particularly her bra with how it's affected by the light are also fantastic and I really like the intricate golden patterns and how they conform to the shapes of her breasts. And Vereesa herself is just breathtaking! Her skin textures and the definition of her anatomy are utterly mesmerising with just how much detail is there. Her entire mid-section with her toned stomach being sucked in as she pulls, with how the front planes transition to her left side with so many subtle planes of muscle on her side is mind-blowing to look at (I also love that rim-light along her left heel and how starkly it contrasts the shadows there). Other aspects that I adore are the transition from her stomach to her ribs and how they protrude out, with shadows and rim-lights defining them. Her right arm with the divide in light and shadow running up it and through her hand looks so glorious, soft and beautiful. The forms of her breasts also have this gorgeous softness to them with a fantastic use of light and shadow on the inside of her left breast separating it from the right one. And all of the plane changes and hard edges and textures that define her shoulders, clavicles and neck are just brilliant as well. And of course, her face is beautiful! I really like how the front plane of her face is this medium tone of brightness while each side of her face is either brightly lit or in shadow, creating a very appealing, stark contrast in tone that defines her features so well. And her eyes have this captivating glow, while she's also so expressive! And as always, the hair is beautifully intricate and packed with an absurd level of detail! Oh and i do love how you can see the tip of her left ear protruding through her hair at the bottom, that's a fun detail and a nice bit of contrast with the warm skin tone amongst the white hair. In terms of the raw level of loving care and detail that you've put in here, this has to be among your very best paintings ๐Ÿ˜ธ. And I believe I said in the post with the WIP that I adore the pose and general concept for this piece, it's a very fun painting, both cute and sexy! Well bloody done on this one! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I was right, this is one of your best pinups yet. Vereesa looks beautiful and scenery outside is fantastic. I love the colors you used, it makes the painting warm and inviting. Definitely worth the wait!

Chris Harris

Waiting NSFW at gumroad ) Interesting how you manage boobs with no bra support - looks like redraw needed ;)

Arthemion

Whoa! That's awesome! Can't wait for the NSFW!
