This is a piece of work from Nikolay Yeliseyev.

• This work is beautifully coloured, with nice shading done in the background.
• The composition is small and the image is mainly to do with the female character drawn and the vegetation background to add suitable set for this character to inhabit.
• A person can identify that this female could be from a Native Indian American background, a Pocahontas style inspiration can also be seen.
• In terms of the techniques used, this digital painting is done well, the soft strokes and blends work well so not every detail is too worked into.
• The richness of colour is mainly on the character's clothing, this is a great contrast again the green vegetation and helps to let the character stand out, which could also be taken as a way of translating part of the character's traits. The character from this image looks bubbly, adventurous as she's sitting on a tree branch.
• This is the type of work that would be used well in games that focus more on the storyline than the actual gaming experience, however, the storyline is also part of a gaming experience.
