Elizabeth Tudor

Thanks to Wez for telling me to submit to the gallery, wasn't sure how it worked...I painted this image using Photoshop CS2. I started digital painting over a year ago but had a bit of a "creative block" and did next to nothing for a long period, being a bit confused as to what aspect of digital art I really wanted to do seriously. I finally realised that digital painting was what I really loved to do, and started again with this portrait.The history of the royal family has always fascinated me, with it's strange stories of love, death, corruption and so on, so this image was really fun to make, I felt really "involved" in it! I hope you too can make up a story behind Elizabeth's eyes and her pose, and wonder just what she was thinking....and most of all I really hope you like it :-)The reference is a photograph from a user called "Lockstock" who can be found on deviantart.com.

Very beautiful piece. I love that she is still wearing the makeup but only has on the collar and the necklace. It seems to suggest wearing a mask while still being exposed. (at least to me )

Love it!!! Before I read your comment to this picture I really asked myself whether this was painted (with oil and stuff)...
