She was divinity's creature that kissed in cold mirrors
A queen of snow
far beyond compare
lips attuned to symmetry sought her everywhere

Commission for :iconquendaline: of her character Athura

She has been super patient with me through lots of deaths and tendonitis and getting my life together, for which I am very grateful.

Athura is a storm witch with power over lightning, and the queen of Asmodeius [link] king of the underworld in a fictional universe based on demonology and biblical legend

I'm not 100% happy with this piece but I did learn a lot and had a good deal of fun painting it. :) I initially used a brush to make the ivy leaves, but they didn't look natural, so I went back over them and painted them by hand.

40 hourish, photoshop

EDIT In my stupor and excitement to finish this motherfucker and go to bed, I forgot to thank `Rahll and *PearlPhoenix for all their help with this. I don't know how I'd do any of this crazy shit without you guys.

I love the use of body language to convey the character's attitude. This also gives me an idea for a solution to a costuming problem I've been having in a piece I'm working on. Thank you for sharing.

Very cool! I really love all the details and the character you were able to portray in her pose and expression.

Thanks! I definitely didn't pull it off as well as I wanted to, but I learned a lot with it, so I guess that's good enough for me :)

Great piece, the only thing I have to say is that the ring lacks any shadow while the hand that it is wearing it does. Other than that good work!
