Thanks! :)
That was actually... not so subtle. ;D The hair was colored using the Scratchboard tool in Painter7. The ends shift color only because of the pressure I used. :D
As for the staff - I know I started off with airbrush, but was getting frustrated and used the Scratchboard tool again for texture. ;D
I think this is another well done piece. I reallylike the outfit but what I especially like is how you did the subtle fading her hair where it has nice blue edges.
Very nice texutres on the staff
