This piece was created especially to enter in *
mizzd-stock's current running contest. To qualify, I was to use a piece of her figure stock and any type of reptiles I wished, here created with some of *
miss69-stock's awesome snake brushes, so this was the result. This character is meant to be something of a dark witch of the shadows. You'd think that someone who likes to make fantasy scenes and characters as much as I do would have done some kind of witch by now, but I haven't until now. I like to think she's at one with her reptile familiars, and perhaps the enchanted skull she is using to cast her spell is her means of calling them to her side when they are needed.

Awesome picture, especally like the background scene.
So excuse my ignorance on this question. You stated the snakes were made from brushes.
Colored? Or you did the colorization?
I am prompted to set about some experimentation with them.
For some strange reason I had this little voice in my head saying'
'the use of brushes is cheating'.
I cannot explain that thought and certainly cannot justify it.
So it is off to my stash of resources (we all have those, right?)
and time to set about using some brushes.
Experimentation, a very necessary and enjoyable part of life.
BTW, nice piece, gotta love the hair, the concept and an
excellent blending of all elements

I need to look at this piece again and the credits as there are a number of current running contests and a snake lady is necessary.
Thanks
it's also quite obvious you had fun with this...
