Awesome work. She looks amazingly similar to someone I know, sans the ears and the package she's sporting. Do you get your facial features from photos?
This one is nice too, however your line-arts are always welcome as updates, just saying that you don not get the impression we are only looking forward to the colored pieces. (grey scale pictures are also worth a try, if you feel experimental)
A bit confused about where all the light sources are for the shading on her but it looks awesome! (Just for reference I'm not a good artist...only a handful of line drawings where I can't get feet to look right yet and often have difficulty with multi-perspective lighting ;) ).
So I colored and lit the subject before starting the background, my original concept was that she would be in a clearing in a beam of sunlight with darker trees all around. But as it ended up the light was sort of coming from everywhere. This was my first attempt at brush-style textured painting, really had no idea what I was doing ( and still dont :P)

Interesting shading technique, and a notable posture to boot. Thanks for sharing, Rook!

Nope no reference for the face, just tried to take a different approach for an elf that wasn't from Warcraft.

Good stuff as per usual, thanks. I do hope this kind of thing gets more exposure.
