Artist's Comments

I'd been thinking for a while about painting a series of pieces about the tribe of my 'Elven Scout', they are the Xava, live in the tropical forests covering a great part of their world, decorate themselves with natural paints and jewels made of stones and seeds,wear little more than loincloths of tanned leather and hunt with weapons of hard wood and flint.
Every now and then they discover mysterious ruins in the jungle, the places of those who went before, there, at times, beautiful pieces of metal and other things can be harvested.

Here is Elven Scout's little sister with a couple of friends...

Shameless plug: if you'd like to have her with you, she's featured on quite a few items right here

UPDATE: This piece is now available as free wallpaper at
cgwallpapers.com

Very awesome. The lighting in this is superb making it look very detailed and real.

I started with a drawing, then the first step in color was made in Painter and the later detailing in Photoshop.

I've been asked to write a tutorial on this, so more details will be available later (it won't be ready before mid-March, I've some work on a deadline coming up):)

Thank you! :)
No 3d elements were used (wish I could model... but given that the day has only 24 hours and I work full time, I'm spending the free time I've on painting).
