Description I'm doing a series of four picture that are based around my favorite characters I have made. Iliad being the first and one of the most dear to my heart. Her story is sad, and actually played out with such struggle and attempt to rise above the darkness ahead. I don't know if she made it through okay. She lost her arm, her wings, her innocence, but through this she still holds a strong light in my mind. I want to capture this.

This is Iliad and Valla, a water demon who has helped her survive since her family abandoned her when she was too young to survive on her own. In the end the only lasting comfort she had was the water. in this she was safe, she survived.

I also pay tribute to one of my favorite artists with this: Puimun who showed me the ways of fae, srpite, and spirits and how they too can become something more than a fairy tale. If she sees this, I hope she knows she's my idol.

Iliad and valla are copyright of me.

stay tuned for the finished product.

Before I forget, I just wanted to stop by and say this is one of the best pieces I've ever seen from you. I feel like it could become ten different pieces with equally strong tones and feelings based on the color choices. I'm both anxious and excited to see which you settle on! Then again, we'll always have the line-art saved here, and I trust your judgement implicitly, so full steam ahead!

great work so far, i like how you worked in the little water nymphs (if thats what they are) adorning the waves and such. aside from being a nice visual touch that imparts a good deal of innocence and wonder, it also speaks to the power of this water demon you mentioned, since she seems to have quite a few minions under her domain...that or im reading too much into this with my so-so knowledge of nerdy fantasy stuff XD
