While watching Pride & Prejudice (the 2005 movie with Keira Knightley) for an university course I really got inspired by the scene near the end of the film where Liz and Mr Darcy finally come together, taking place on a meadow while the sun slowly rises out of the fog. Especially the moment when Mr Darcy walks toward her... I took a screencapture from the trailer and used it as a reference for the background in this picture. A series of beautiful sunsets I could observe from my window was a great help, too. =)

For the elf's body I used one of the photos from `lockstocks stock package [link] as a reference, but everything else came from my imagination.
A very friendly overpainting Chinasky from digitalartforum.de did helped me to manage the lighting. Thank you!

I also used two textures from cgtextures.com for the background.

This piece is fantastic. I love your use of color and the profile of this character. They blending of your background works nicely with the more definitive lines of the foreground. Absolutely gorgeous :faint: I'll definitely be checking out the rest of your gallery ;)

Thank you!

For this piece the background was the starting point. I got really inspired by the "Pride and Prejudice" Hollywood movie for that.
