okay, LOTS OF CREDITS go here. background from Mayang's Free Textures, lyrics are Kent's "Musik Non Stop," my understanding of these lyrics is thanks to ~VampMistress, and my Dan as well as *zambi get mad props for encouraging me to draw even when it wasn't gonna happen. :B hell, I should thank Igor while I'm at it, 'cause if his RP channel didn't exist I wouldn't be having nearly the fun I have been playing this character.

this is Liadhan Kullhammar, nominally a modern-day version of my fantasy RP character (and half deer-celestial) Liadhan Albesce. to go into more depth, though, this Liadhan is a graduate student at NYU with Swedish ancestry, and she is a newly awakened Seid witch (volva). she's kind of a shaman-woman. she is loads of fun to play, and I have been mired in significant angst because she did not have a good character portrait. but now she does.

rly quick: differences between deer-Liadhan and witch-Liadhan.

deer-Liadhan has big brown doe eyes. witch-Liadhan has crazy eyes that I'll never draw big enough for anyone to see. three rings of color--from pupil outward, blue, yellow, and green.

deer-Liadhan dresses like a virgin doll. witch-Liadhan dresses like she ran a truck through a vintage store.

well, there's more differences than that but those are the ones that matter. besides that witch Liadhan has a foul mouth on her! however both Liadhans have very good hearts.

I'm glad I managed to draw this. I've been pretty busy lately with my own grad school work but SOME drawing needed to happen.

oh yeah, this was inked with a sakura micron and Staedtler technical pens, then scanned and colored in oC 2.24E.
