mystic vendor - WIP

Arabian delights are back on the menu now that I don’t have pirates, Halloween and calavera dominating my schedule. Unlike the potion vendor, who sells to any adventurer, this gal peddles her wares exclusively to the magi…

#1 warm treatment

since she's in a desert climate, I thought a warm treatment might be the way to go

Warm is a good touch

  hence the haircut in the new piece

#2 darker treatment

this has very rich colors but is probably too dark

Carol DM says:

November 25, 2018 at 6:49 pm

A little dark but I like the mysterious look

  yeah, this is gonna be a tough choice…
Alex Ledante says:

hence my ponytail rework…

  hopefully I can figure out a fairy color scheme and do the final render

#3 lighter treatment

so then I lightened everything up and you can make out all the details but it is probably too flat

Carol DM says:

November 25, 2018 at 6:49 pm

Maybe a little flat but still nice

  probably my last choice, though…
Alex Ledante says:

March 10, 2019 at 2:02 am

of course, I am going to redo the postwork once I’ve finalized the piece…

  you’re saying my composition is off balanced?

This one is perfect. Not too hot, not too cold said Goldilocks.

  hard to strike the right balance, especially when most of you have uncalibrated monitors…
Alex Ledante says:

March 10, 2019 at 2:16 am

agreed, but not sure I will keep it around for the rework…

  should initiates be allowed to wear jewelry?

#5 vendor closeup

do I really need to call out that this is really just a wardrobe test? dig those subtle rimlights...

Carol DM says:

Nice eyes and the lighting is great

  she turned out better than expected…
Alex Ledante says:

March 10, 2019 at 2:20 am

works fine here, not so much when I zoom out…

  that’s an unfortunate nail color choice

#4 and the close-up are my favorites. You gave her a perfect shade of hair color along with a great style. One of my favorites!
