total time: 5 hours.

Now for the story behind it...

History of the Elgerths:

The Elgerths are slightly bigger than the Fastlings, strong builded with black and brown hair and tanned body. The Elgerths are the labors, or better the master artisants since their technical and mechanical knowhow exceeds even the human adversaries. In the ranks of the Elgerth you might find the most known warriors and leaders of the littlefoots race. Elgerth value honor and they settle their agendas with the sword.

Eden's Story:

Eden is the Elgerth Princess. Her father, Ioden, is the ruler and master warrior of the Littlefoots race. She has her father's nobility, and her mother's beauty, as well as the expert knowledge of sword handling and battle. She knows she will soon inherit the throne of her people from her father, all though she continues to fight her own battle...yhe battle of what her heart wants, and what her father thinks is best for the existance of their kind.

The Symbolism in the Art:

I brought out Eden's personality and character through her physical features and the features of the Elgerths. In her eyes, reflects the warrior in her, steel grey like the color of the sword. A flower, placed in her long black hair, a symbol of poise, elegance, and beauty. Blood, stained on the flower, a representation of the many battles she must face, both emotional and physical. A black dress and hair, showing nobility and strength, never evil in the Littlefoots' world.

Very nice.
I think it's the shadowing on the flower that is throwing it off a little.
Sometimes its hard to find a stock with the correct angled shadows. You could try finding one w/no shadows and brushing some in.
As it is though, the flower Pops!
Nice background story, too.

I really do love it when artists add to the story line. I am to put this character in the RoH setting as it is. If you want to expand it. you are most welcome to do so.

i agree, with epileptic-raver, i can't seem to find anything wrong with the piece at all.
Maybe she could have been looking more directly into the camera, her gaze is a little off-centre, but yeah thats a tiny fault in a massively gorgeous piece.
Love the flower and what you've placed on it to look like blood- great likeness, also her shade of lipstick is superb.
favourite ahead
