Done for the client Imagine FX Magazine.

This is the cover I've made for the last December issue of ImagineFX. Also you can find in this issue my big article, where I talk about creating issue's cover from conception to completion.
Most of it was painted in Painter with some bits of Photoshop. Some of my own images was used as reference for her pose and jevellery. Also I use some references of Dior haute couture collections for her dress.

The main idea of December issue is fantasy art, so I wanted to make this portrait as fantasy as I can inspire...the first idea was more simple and sweet but it was deeply changed in the process of working.

A big thanks to Claire Howlett and Paul Tysall who did the briefing and who provided me with feedback and inspiration during the all process of creating this work. Cheers!

UPDATE : Also Corel Corporation use Adelia on the inside of the NEW Corel 11 box and it is the first image you see when you slide out the sleeve!!!

I hope you like it. Thanks for your visit!
