Artist's Comments

Ardragon Caellamore deLavierre, a villain from my Forgotten Realms D&D campaign. You could say that she's the BBEG's "gun moll"--or in this case, "sword moll."

The campaign's drawing to a close, but I'm not so sure how quickly we'll be able to get to the final battle. It's going to be an epic finale if we get there.

The title was inspired by Rhapsody of Fire's song of the same name. I'm going to be playing that song in the final battle with Caella.

You may have also noticed she looks like Rynn Zedeckheim from my older drawings. The resemblance is coincidental, though maybe subliminal. :P I only realized it while I was halfway through.

Be carefull when using the dodge and burn tools Aslan, abusing of those end sup on very fake effects.

Besides that, it's one helluva' work you got there.

Yeah, I'm still having trouble with the skin. I think I'd have more control if I used a tablet, but alas, that's not something I'm considering investing it at the moment.

Thanks. :D

Great colors, a bit too saturated in some places but your efforts are clearly visible in this. :)

Yeah, I think it's my choice of color samples that makes the colors a bit too bright for what I'm attempting. Maybe I should stick to the default colors. (I tend to use FOCOL Tones)

Hmm.. I never use any of the preset palettes.. You should just study color theory. [link]

I saw your comments about this lovely villain on Taho's gallery for my character Red. It would be awesome to see the two of them face off in a battle of good and evil. Great picture and awesome looking character.
