This commission was done for jamaicanjellfish, this is Scarlet Queen of Shadows from Fable. Here is the link to her character and what this painting is based upon
[link]

This digital painting was done in SAI and Photoshop with a digital wacom tablet.

Scarlet is able to control shadows and in this painting there are seven Shadow Creatures that are hidden through out the forest. Let me know if you can spot them all!!!

I Enjoyed doing to piece very much its such a dark mysterious tone.

I LOVE the shading, dear god it's just fantastic, it's so life like. How did you manage to shade it like that? What brushes did you use? Scarlet looks so pretty and you've captured so much of her and her personality and I LOVE THE FACE ON HER, gosh it's so pretty ~:heart:
The background is simply awesome and you've so much detail in to it~!

Awww your so sweet! I'm so glad you like it, that makes it all worth it! The computer I made it on is a little brighter on most so it does look darker on other computers, it is hard to spot the creatures, but thats the fun of shadows!! They are so fleeting, hidden and mysterious! My favorite parts about creating this piece were her hair with the dying sun behind her. As the light of the sun goes down, the creatures of darkness are stirring and coming to the call of their master. Also the creatures were fun to make too! Her outfit was great, I tried to recreate it as best as possible.

As for the hidden shadows! I'll let you in on their secret hiding places!
First the crow upper left corner between the trees,
The monster below it
Then the four eyed wolf below that
Then as the base of her cloak is another shadow creature rising from the ground
Then another one is on the other side of her cloak on the right bottom
Then deep in the forest are two other three eyed wolves above her right arm on the right side!!!

^_^


This is my gift to you!! Creativity is what makes me happy and I hope it also makes your life happy as well.
Tell me what your favorite part it? :)

For the shading the best tool for that is a digital painting program called SAI which is very easy to use and can recreate brushes that resemble water, oil, acrylic, pen, marker and you can adjust the density and strength in their effects. That really helps with blending things together to make it all come together for the shading.

Then to create even more shading, I brought it into Photoshop and upped the Contrast level and applied the Burn tool to bring out specific shadows.

I'm so glad you liked it you've made my day Thank you!
