Yes, I’m still floating somewhere in Beauty & the Beast land. And I’m now quite delighted with this picture because it’s one of those very rare pictures that I’ve done directly on the computer that turned out as I wanted it to – even with a graphic tablet, drawing on the computer isn’t that easy. Also, it turned out well considering that I was referencing a picture where the pose was completely different. (See here.) Well, the picture’s not perfect, but I’m still happy with it.
*grin*
Don’t know if anyone’s really interested, but here’s a step-by-step of my process. 
I actually had a small dilemma about the background tint – couldn’t decide between a pinkish or greenish tint and had to ask Lianne for her opinion. In the end I went with the pinkish one. But since she said, “Put both up,” here’s the greenish-tinted one, which I like as well as it makes Lumiere stand out from the background, but the pink tint seemed to make it feel fuller and grander.
oooohh nice. red tint nicer
Yep, it is. Thanks! The more I look at the two pics the more I like the first one. hehe
