You're just saying she's pretty because her twelve-foot rattlesnake companion isn't sizing you up for a meal.

Shyaern's a ranger, Solar, and her animal companion is a twelve-foot Rashemar rattlesnake by the name of Xydusa.

Yeowza, that'd be interesting choice in companions 
But that doesn't stop me from stockpiling antidotes just in case
.. Sorry Tempest, just snakes freak me out, tis all.
too many of them this part of the world in Summer.

Not to worry. Xydusa's only killed one person so far in the campaign, and it was a hobgoblin. Other than that, she hasn't done much but freak out Tanek's horse and stand guard over Shyaern meditated and prayed (which entails swimming, since she's a ranger of Istishia) in case someone *not pointing fingers* decided to see where she went.

Boys will be boys...
There's something frustratingly familiar about Shyaern in that picture-her face and the hair on her forehead seems very familiar to me, but I'll be damned if I can figure out where I've seen something similar. Might I ask what's up with her armor, though? It looks like it's covered in leaves or something.
Beautiful little scene, despite my nagging sense that I've seen something very similar to the way you did Shyaern's head.

Something similar about her head? I don't know. The hairstyle might be a bit modern so that you might have seen it somewhere, on someone. Her armor is indeed covered with leaves! Funky custom armors, you gotta love them.
Hay thanks peeps for the comments! I'm glad you like it too, Kellen.

Ilmatar, that you can whip out good stuff like that and call it lazy work is just showin' off, I think .
Ilmy: "I'm SOOO lazy I'll just doodle this up and call it done...<<MASTERPIECE>>...**yawn** SOOO lazy..."

Bah! No I don't. 
I love sketching out the characters and their outfits and expressions and everything, so I put a lot of effort in that so I get the proportions somewhat right and the clothing and stuff on. The moment I'm supposed to start work properly on neat lineart or good coloring, my interest drops and then the potential fine looking characters end up half arsed because I just want the coloring and linearting over and done with. I really do have an attitude problem.

Well you're not like a Thayvian, so credit to ya on that ground Ilmy.
And yes, personally I find it hard to even criticise your "half-arsed" works, as you put it.

Ilmatar, your work is wonderfully gorgeous and I love the expression and animation the faces have. You can almost certainly guess at their personalities from their portraits, or so it seems.
You've done such nice work for members here. Would you want to do a portrait for someone new, like me? I am still playing Morrowind and I very often play female Breton and Altmer spellswords. I have found a program that enables you to put a picture to a head in Morrowind very easily. I was wondering if you'd feel like making a Breton or Altmer face for me to put in Morrowind .. whichever is your choice to make. If so, she would need to be facing full front to be entered into Morrowind. And I love the tattoo coloring you do on faces, or perhaps some facial piercings and/or ear jewelry? If this is too much to ask, I understand but I would be so honored if you would want to do it.
