This is my completed Fingon The Valiant painting. it took a lot of learning and frustration to get everything right. i started with the skin and fanned out from there. the eyes came next, and I had to find a tutorial on how to do eyes that way. then the hair. it was mostly trial and error, but after a while I figured out the best way to get semi-realistic locks of hair, and braids. I did a tutorial on the braids so that others could learn from what I did and improve on it. [] this is the link to the site. the cords came after the braids and then the clothes and embroidery. I used real pictures of blue cloth to help me with the texture, mostly on the collar and the shoulder; the rest was painted and dogged and burned to get the sharp effect. I know I can improve but I have done my best right now. I hope that I can go back to this at a later date.
