Yes moar cellshade. I feel the need to practice it more. This was more an experiment to try and get the colors in place. (I'm also struggling with picking colors for a softshade version of this, I've noticed...:/ ) SO DEAL WITH IT.I've made it so Ehlyuna actually has a story this time around, haha. The idea I had of her also changed- she used to have more sky-blue hair but I DO already have Kinshayti and Kira to fill up my blue-haired characters so I tried to shy away from that. Also, I wanted to show a melding of her elements in her physical change. Maybe when she started messing around with Gyi that changed her hair color? IDK. It seemed a bit bright, and she tends to keep herself a little more low-key and modest, so I went for more neutral tones that would still go nicely with her hair/wings. I struggled a lot with trying to keep this piece balanced and the like in terms of colors. :/
I'll write up the big thing on Ehlyuna's life later. ;D You know me and that text!
So yeah, this actually started as something to just kind of get the character to seem less tight but I ended up coloring it (at least this much). Not so sure I like highlights on wings but they looked a little bare otherwise. :/
OH MY GOD NO BACKGROUND FOR THE LAST HOWEVER MANY IMAGES WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. THIS MAY BECOME A DANGEROUS TREND BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING HARD CONSISTENTLY TO DRAW UP MY BACKGROUNDS SO I THINK I DESERVE A LITTLE BREAK FROM THEM NOW AND AGAIN. CAPS.

I like the hair, and I think the highlights on the wings were a good idea too. More feathers in the wings to make them really full would be cool. I think its a pretty nice palette too.

Whew, good to see that some others think it was a good idea. I was iffy on it but they looked so...flat otherwise.
See though, the only thing about her wings is that they aren't meant to be full. (Or normal size, either.) I do actually have her story written up, and in it it tells of why her wings are small and 'deformed' (why she doesn't have many feathers). I assure you it was intentional to her design.
