Artist's Comments

(argh, I recommend full view.)

it's been SO LONG since I painted a thing, and since my laptop fought me every step of the way I don't think I'll paint a thing again. at least, on this computer. I'm thinking very hard about buying a new one.

anyway, this is Vidonia. I started off by calling her a dryad, but dryad is the term for a nymph linked to an oak tree, so I think I'll call her a vine-nymph instead. she is kind of twisted (hur hur). I very much have Dan to thank for both the character concept and the inspiration to draw in the first place--we were RPing a scene (as happens every blue moon or so) and Vidonia literally came out of nowhere. she just kinna materialized out of his suggestions. :B

pencil sketch colored in oC 2.24E.

I don't think I've ever been this out of touch with devart. I'm sorry, guys. grad school is such a creativity slayer. at least I did pretty well this term.

NICE FOLIAGE

Actually I really like the general colour scheme (you used all my favourite greens :B) and her hair stuff is really cool 'cause it looks like vine-y shamanistic dreadlocks.

Barkorset is also pretty neat. >_>

Beautiful! I love how her hair is made of vines. :D

Man, this really makes me want to make Lira's mum (since she's a forest fairy and whatnot). XD Thanks for the inspiration. :3

It's a fine line between denial and faith. It's much better on my side...

oh my gosh pretty! I love all the pinkish/orange-ish tones in her skin, it makes the green soooooo much more dimensional looking... wait is that the phrasing I was looking for? oh whatever. We'll go with it.

Anywho, I'm glad your term went well. The very idea of grad school kinda scares the hell outta me... so kudos to you for actually having the guts to go the extra mile ^__^

you're back with a vengence! She's quite lovely and I hate how school can be such a creative drain.
