A wizard! Acrylic on masonite.
Can anyone think of a more interesting title?
Model and stock artist is the amazing Marion Skydancer :iconskydancer-stock: , who I suspect might be an actual wizard...
This one went faster than most. Had a lot of fun with the background and the hair. I hope it didn't end up looking too much like a Santa...
If anyone can give me some tips on how to photograph paintings I'd sure appreciate it! They always get washed out, even when I use no flash and angle them away from the light...

errrmmm My best success with shooting shiny surfaces was to put white sheet over a couple of chairs so the thing is tented, shine the lights into the sheet to diffuse the light and then shoot as square to the surface as possible. Another thing that works sometimes is to use the plain white sheets of acrylic you find in the building stores for dropping into hanging ceilings for the lights. Those can be decent diffusers to kill any direct lights. Sort of put the item so its in a box of the panels and all the lights are from the side. Color is tough, best you can do there is set your camera to the light type then try to fine tune it in photoshop.
