This is a fantasy portrait of my friend Ariela who is also a great artisti, we decided to portrait each other in fantasy outfit!! Since she is such a beautiful model, this went a bit more far than a game and I really put a great effort in this painting.
This is also being published as cover for the novel "Valeria", by Francesca Angelinelli
thank you Actually, this was mostly an experiment in pushing photorealism as much as I can... I learned a lot from it, but I don't know if I'll do it again I think it's not so interesting if a painting looks too much like a photo.

I like photorealistic pictures very much. I mean, just look at this for example: [link] ; I find it freakin' awesome, that people (like you) can draw so good.
