Helénē
Helen of Troy
the daughter of Zeus and Leda (or Nemesis), wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. Her abduction by Paris brought about the Trojan War. Helen was described by Christopher Marlowe as having "the face that launched a thousand ships."

***************************************************

You will probably see a lot of art from me this summer. I have the summer off and find it brings me a small amount of peace to lose myself in painting.

Tools used:
Wacom Intuous3
PSP12
Coffee
*I experimented a lot with textures I made. I still need a lot of work on hair. I find myself mostly mouse painting it with some strands added with my tablet. The effect isn't as nice as I would like. I'm so detail oriented that it drives me crazy. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Beautimus...It almost looks real, but with that touch of...plastic? no...CG? maybe...I'm not quite sure what it has to it, but it's nice.

I especially love her eyes.

What programs do you use?

:music: Oh I'd like to visit the moon, on a rocket ship high in the air. Yes I'd like to visit the moon, but I don't think I'd like to live there.

So although I may go, I'll be coming home soon, cause I don't want to live on the moon. :date: :music:

p.s. as i know from history the ancients greeks had black hair and blue eyes (or open colours). it cannot be seen too much to us because we are brown the most now :giggle: but i dont think helen would be blond :)
