The sleeves were a fun design aspect. I used to love designing clothes and costumes when I was younger and apparently that interest hasn't quite died yet!

You've a wonderful way of capturing just the right posture and expression for your characters, darlin'...

Hehe. That sword is extraordinarily light or this faire lady is deceptively strong - either way, I would not wish to be cross with this one.

Thank you so much! ^_^

When I was designing Arlyss, I spent a lot of time thinking about her sword. What I settled on was that the elves could probably smith special metals that were both light-weight and durable; probably enchanted metals borrowing magick from fairies. *grins* Arlyss is definitely stronger than an average human, but her sword is a light one, too.
