Sparrow paints a Sphinx

[SparrowMarie 16010]

Okay, I promise I'll finish one of these threads one day. But in the meantime I've started painting the Bones Sphinx. I've already painted up the wings, I've just got a few little things to do. I do want to thank @Pochi for the inspiration for the wings.

Awesome start!

Looking really nice! Can't wait to see what you do with yours!

Did a wash on the wings to bring out the feathers a little more, need to work on the details on the "eyes" on the inside of the wings simce the was brought them down a lot more than I'd have liked it to.

Back at it! Basing the skin and general areas with Olive Skin.

Working on the highlights and shadows still but going to go ahead and do the eyes because I really don't want to mess up the face.

Ugh, eyes... Have spent like an hour elfing with them.

Elfed up the right eye trying to fix the face. Time for a break.

Slept on it and I think that the face is salvageable. But if I do too much more I will have to strip it and start over.

I think the eyes look great! They really look like the ones from hieroglyphics :)

Thanks! I accidentally painted over half of her left eye in trying to fix the rest of the face. So, I need to try to fix that before I go further.

I /think/ I've got them as even as I can. Also, now with eyebrows! Need to figure out how to smooth things out a bit so I really don't have to strip it.

I put some eye shadow on and a little lip color. Not sure how I feel about it. Thoughts?

I like it...but maybe make the eyeshadow either paler or brighter.  It seems to stark right now (unless you were going with a blue-back hair).

Very Cleopatra! Pretty face!

It's nice, although I think she might look nicer with darker lips. Like a dark reddish brown. It's subtle, but can accentuate the cat element on this specific figure. I googled for some images to kinda show what I mean. Although, if you are looking to give her a more glamorous look I think you did a nice job.
